To be fair to Tesla, My 2017 Outback does essentially the same thing- when I fill up for a long drive, the car will tell me that I have a range of say, 440 miles. As I’m driving, at first that range will go down to match the miles I’m driving, followed by the range going back up as the miles go by, until somewhere…

To be fair to Florida: Florida has some kind of open record law for arrests so it’s really easy to find the crazy stuff. If Indiana had a similar law, I can guarantee you “Indiana Man” would become a thing.

And while Florida has “florida man arrested for getting in a fist fight with a manatee”, my beloved Wisconsin…

High hops is a great way to cover the fact that you don’t actually know how to brew beer. I’m starting to see some light through the cracks in the wall of IPAs but they’re still pretty small.

OK so lately I’ve been seeing some decent pilsners starting to pop up- you still have to search through about 200 IPAs to find them, but they are actually starting a bit of a resurgence, at least in the midwest. My partner doesn’t care for IPAs and so we’ve been on the hunt for anything else- Saturday brewery in…

Ale Asylum was one of the breweries my hops growing client specifically mentioned. And it’s a shame, because hopalicious is actually good.

To be fair, it can actually be difficult to even find non-IPAs at your local liquor store. Or at least, at mine. Around here (southern wisconsin) beer has become a lot less seasonal and a lot more HOPSLAMMOUTHFUCKER IMPERIAL OVERLOAD all the time. A client I used to work with who actually grew hops for breweries even…

Not at all- Where I live now, I don’t even have sidewalks. I can ride my bike to the grocery sort of but not really. I would love to live in a place where I could get everywhere on foot or by bike without having to worry about getting hit. But I’m not crazy enough to think that one neighborhood could provide…

First, I’d want a bigger garage. Because I need a better workshop space.Plus, there’s gonna be a lot of stuff plugged in, so we’ll need to upgrade the electrical. So, figure 15k on that.

The only thing I’d want to add to this community would be a parking area so I can have a car for the outdoors stuff I love to do that requires me to go somewhere else to do it- you know, a place I can leave my car for a week at a time and not worry about it, but can then grab my bike, throw it on the rack and head for…

So... as you get older this changes. Especially if you buy a house or some other form of “I’m going to live here for a long-ass time.”

Again, I’m talking about actual crosswalks. Crosswalks on 2 lane roads. Where the speed limit is already only 30mph. It doesn’t matter how wide the crosswalk is if drivers ignore it. And that’s why we’ve had to install strobelights at crosswalks, and given pedestrians big fluorescent orange flags to wave as they walk…

I can give you one simple legal change that would clear this problem up in about a year: You know how, as a driver, if you rear end another car you are automatically at fault? Make that apply to hitting pedestrians and cyclists as well.

I know this is your personal crusade and all, but across multiple countries, the data is pretty clear- most of the time in a pedestrian or cyclist vs car incident, it’s the fault of the driver, not the pedestrian, not of the cyclist.

The fact that we have to create (as you point out) entire separate, separated lanes…

Wait a minute, you wanna spend 50-125k on what is essentially a bad weather beater and the car you drive in to work? Just do what everyone else does and get a subaru, then save the money you were going to spend on the car on ski trips.

I get that it can be enjoyable. But the environment would disagree with you. There’s no water there and yet... golf courses by the thousands. My favorite is when you hear desert state governors saying that the great lakes states are going to have to give them water. No, y’all need to move where the water is.

Also a crazy idea that turns out to be true? Building cities in the middle of a desert is a terrible idea. Dumping 10 million people into an area designed to support closer to zero human beings is dumb as hell.

The place: Wisconsin. The time of year, Winter. We got an enormous dump of snow. Like a foot or more, which has become increasingly rare. I woke up, Shoveled my driveway and then heroically did not go out and drive to the store for any reason at all.

Thanks to campaign reform, national parties are now largely powerless to stop idiots. Thus, you have Marjorie Taylor Green being the top republican fundraiser and the GOP having zero ways of saying, “we are not letting Donald Trump run as a republican based on his historical record” in 2016.

It’s the dirty little…

As a person who has done multiple week long trips in the wilderness, taking down and setting up a tent is really, really not hard. At all. Modern tents, modern camping gear is all super easy to set up and disassemble and pack away.

I want the option. I’m OK with living dangerously and occasionally having to use paper maps.
