Honestly I think you’re still good so long as you don’t also wear tactical cosplay and carry around the Dick Enhancement Rifle.

I’m looking forward to these idiots fading into utter obscurity so I can wear my Hawaiian shirts again.

I guess they forgot normal cameras exist or do they somehow think an Amazon Ring camera is somehow less obvious than your traditional, closed loop, system?

Is Vegas still trying for that family-friendly image or are they now at the “whatever it takes to get you here” stage? I’m not sure how Tits and Wine-Con fits in with the former but it’d be killer marketing for the latter.

If the organizers focused on the convention as a Tyrion and Bron drunken fighting whoring and gambling convention (a normal weekend) then I can see it working as both characters love everything Vegas has to offer. I don’t know about everyone else.

They built one near me a few years ago at a 3-way intersection. I was ecstatic and I went from sitting in a quarter mile of stop and go traffic every day to never having more than four cars in front of me going into the circle. Even though it IMIDIATELY eliminated the traffic, people talked about it like they were…

I belong to the local small town Facebook news page and they can’t go more than a week without complaining about the two-year old traffic circles, despite the fact that they’ve completely eliminated the huge traffic backups we were dealing with on weekends.

As an Air Force meteorologist, with a BS in meteorology from Texas A&M and an MS from NPS, the amount of facepalming dumbassitude I encounter from hillbilly morons regarding weather is sobering.

For a good long while now, I’ve had my fingers crossed that the pandemic is essentially to the tool that will get us part two.

“sallow, hairless, bloated fascists”

My hype levels seem to have been justified. What are the chances it does well on HBO Max but doesn’t do well in the theaters (raging global pandemic/movie going experience being generally terrible without a pandemic)? If it gets streamed to high heaven, will that greenlight the conclusion? Real nail biter over here.

I will happily wear a mask for 2 hours and 35 minutes to go see this on a big screen. Can't wait.

casting a real broad net there. any storm? at all? like clearly this was a natural disaster and nobody should have been open in the first place, but ANY storm?

I’m in the market for a non-Tesla EV, and Electrify America has been building out pretty aggressively. Unless you are in the big hole in their network in the Dakotas / Montana / Wyoming, they have chargers located in a lot of Walmarts and Targets along major highways.

Battery EV fanbois keep saying they are superior products. Government subsidy should not be required if that were true.

That is the thing though, I don’t have to do any research to keep doing what I am doing. It is working.

If I go buy an electric car, now I have to plan my route, I have to know if there really is a charger where the internet says there is one, what used to take five minutes tops now takes an hour.

And that assumes…

I get hitting the back roads all long and not having enough range for that, but going to places (even cabins in the woods) has never been a issue about the lack of charging... it’s just a lack of forethought and spending 10 minutes finding a charging station along the way in most cases.

Range anxiety is still real. I still can’t depend on there being a charger at my destination and short of a Tesla most E cars don’t have the range to make a three hour drive out and then make it back.

Coincidently most of my vacationing is about three hours from here.

I can’t do that without refilling my WRX, but I…

1st Gear: I don’t think having to use government subsidies to get people to buy EVs is a good plan long term. They need to be made well enough and useful enough to have people buy them regardless. Giving a big discount to the automakers gives them no incentive to figure out how to make them better and cheaper. This is…
