Ding ding ding!

Automakers are already ahead of compliance dates too for the most part. It’s not like they’re going to go back to the drawing board and say, “Well, what can we do to reduce MPGs?”

They did work together to simplify the regulations. California and the 12 states that follow California, along with 13 automakers, were in on the Obama agreement to increase fuel efficiency and emissions standards. That was working together to simplify the regulations.

Totally - why bother trying to stop any air pollution unless you stop every single instance of it at once?

What does this have to do with simplifying regulations? Everything was going according to plan before Trump decided to get involved. His people are the reason things are so complicated all of a sudden.

While oil companies obviously had a say in this, car manufacturers also had a hand in wanting to delay or eliminate stricter rules...what they didn’t foresee is California freaking the hell out, looks like it completely took them by surprise.

I read the NYT article this morning. The thing that jumped out at me was this:

Nothing is as annoying as a neckbeard sophisticate that pontificates on why he vapes.

That was smoking in the 70s. I remember movie theaters and buses full of tobacco smoke when I was a kid

I think this was leaked by the correction officer’s union as a prelude to shifting blame.

Most plausible conspiracy theory: Russian mafia offed him to protect Trumpworld.

Apparently, this is who you are when Hollywood/acting is a job and not your passion.

Riiight... nobody will remember the most successful film franchise of all time.  It’s fine if you don’t like them but don’t be stupid about it.

In the words of Christian Slater to Al Madrigal on the set of “Lies & Illusions”: Put the script down; this is just a cash grab.

I saw her on Graham Norton (with Tom Hanks, Tom Holland, and Jake Gyllenhaal) and she didn't remember the title of Endgame nor did she know the major fucking event at the end that carries over into Spiderman Far From Home. I accept she didn't have screen time with Samuel L Jackson and therefore didn't register that…

Have you seen “The boys” on amazon?

Societal roles always have an admixture of conflicting expectations. Im not thrilled about it, but i like to see it as parenthood being complex and varied enough theres depth to allow some bs angles too. Got to roll with it. Im not the breadwinner in the house, i have to deal with people judging me on that, but our…

“So easy a Dad can do it”

Any Dad Build in D2 MUST include Thunderlord.

1) It’s easy to obtain (the quest is relatively simple, and very little grind)
2) Can clear the room of low-level PvE enemies in 1 mag or less
3) has the fastest time-to-kill of any machine gun in PvP

Sounds like you’ve been around some crazy-looking polygonal barns, my friend.
