That’s what gets me the most. People tell me shit like “Well driving is the most cost-efficient way to get places” and then turn around and gripe they spend more on gas in a week that I do in a month driving a hatchback.

I complain about the midwest a fair amount, but even in the heaviest gas tax state (IL) my last diesel fillup was $3.05 and gas was $3.19. Electricity is 11.4/kwh for summer rates burning that sweet, sweet coal. Think it was 8.9/kwh last winter.
Yea, my thought exactly. They #1 selling vehicle in the country is about to be offered as an electric model, in its most popular configuration, at a price that is extremely competitive with its gas counterpart. But the sky is falling and nobody is serious about EV’s and blah blah.
The cheapest gas in my town is $4.26 for 87 octane unleaded. I generate electricity for the equivalent of 15c/kwh (pay-what-you-use lease model).
It wouldn’t have helped. As soon as we started pulling back in any serious way, including evacuating civilians, the Afghan Army would have dissolved back into its home villages, and the Taliban put their pedal to the metal like they did. There is no such thing as a planned evacuation in war. There is only holding the…
Most soldiers will switch sides if you can show you can beat them when fighting on home territory. It has just been so long since America has fought a war on our own soil, and has never fought a losing one there, that we’ve forgotten that. Plus there is no such thing as an Afghani, not really, they are all this tribe…
Kinja is such a fucking shitshow. I can’t read your complete comment about the SF ODA teams.
Terrible human being, too.
Chrissake. Doesn’t anybody proofread any more? Read the first sentence. Forty years of defunding education by the Republicans is really paying off.
Sad to say that this was always the endgame. Afghanistan’s fate was sealed when we failed to nail Bin Laden there before he fled to Pakistan, and also when we decided to use Iraq as the dead cat to distract from having allowed him to flee. After that it was just who was going to be left sitting in the chair when this…
“On August 15, 1899, a chief engineer at the Edison Illuminating Company’s main plant. That may not seem like a big deal...”
Oh, Liz, once again, your lack of research comes back to make you look ridiculous. The Detroit Automobile Company went bankrupt just 2 years later. Then, a year later, Henry started his own company, but walked away from it a year after that, when it became Cadillac Motors with Henry Leland taking it over. So, that was…
Hey I’m just gonna leave this here.
Have fun on that hill!
He shoulda thought of that before fucking children
Oh yes, that’s the “real concern” here, not the dude who’s tryna rape kids. Who gives a fuck about what happens to him in there? If there’s ONE type of person that everyone in prison can get behind hating, it’s pedophiles. Doesnt matter what prison he goes to, he’s gonna get his ass beat.
He will though. There are no other type of prisons here, other than “working-class”(?) prisons. And, if the inmates don’t take care of him, the police probably will. He won’t be killed though, I guess.
Honestly, The Headline and the picture tell me everything I need to know. This guy is disgusting.
Good luck to him in Brazilian prison. I’m sure his crime and his outlandish hair and beard color will let him slide under the radar for the duration of his hopefully very long sentence.
....It’s not like he was streaming from jail, right?
....right?
