For context: BAC drops 0.015 per hour.
To go from just at the legal limit .08 to .02 would take 4 hours.

I am a firm believer in the truth of ACAB...but it seems pretty likely Bruce was drunk and knew the time it takes to get a blood test gives him time to sober up/deny he was ever drunk.

ACAB......but so are all those who operate vehicles while intoxicated.

So this is a hot button issue.

SPRINGSTEEN refused to provide a sample on the preliminary breath test.

One of my dumbass friends was in this situation a couple years ago - he failed the field sobriety test, but the officer did not have a breathalyzer on him, and the one at the station was FUBAR. So he had to be hauled to the hospital for a blood draw. By which time he was at .07. So he was shitting bricks waiting for…

Vertical garden. Planting in a couple weeks when it isn’t so frozen overnight. 

Yeah, I guess “selling back to the grid” is the wrong term. Every kWh that I send to the grid is taken off of my bill, so anything I power at night would then come from that credit. 

Solar still doesn't make financial sense, and it sucks. Also, the agreements between utilities and the state suck. You can never go truly off grid. That being said, Colorado and Excel have a 1:1 credit system for kWh, which is way better than selling it back to the grid. I hope you look and see if NV has a similar…

The solution is to drive a shit-heap. Then you can *gently* move them out of the way whilst agreeing with them. “No no, wouldn’t want you to go to any trouble moving that car, let me move it for you.”

Either the old “oh, let me call someone to bring your keys back” trick or the old “oh this vehicle is blocking you in, let me get someone to move that for you” trick.

This really is more swan song than revival. Cars like this aren’t going to save the manual on their own, but maybe they’ll spur other automakers to try and undercut it if they sell well enough (imagine a Genesis G70 3.3t with a stick at a hair under $50k).

As a current owner of the old “last” RWD, manual, V8 sedan, I hope this new “last” RWD, manual, V8 sedan sells well enough to prove to makers that they still need to make products for enthusiast buyers. It clearly won’t sell a ton at this price point, but hoping for a 20% manual take rate (and hopefully higher in the…

I just don’t get it. With the stalk I can stick my left pinky out as I turn the wheel and flick the blinkers on almost automatically.

The beauty of the stalk is the ease of flicking it in one direction or the other without much thought. Those buttons have to be pushed very deliberately, which I assume would reduce utilization.

The situation with Tesla is the opposite of Gamestop. I’m sure there’s a valuation of Tesla that is accurate, but it’s not the value it is now. Hedge funds and other institutional investors are driving the hype and price of this stock. They’ll sell it off, make a nice profit, while leave the rest of the losses to…

You have to put up a percentage to cover your short (you can use T bonds to do so)

“you shouldn’t be able to sell stocks you don’t own.”

90% of the things the stock market does should be illegal. It is an overcomplicated web that aims to block access, and set up to only benefit a few.

Hell, Vulture capitalism is totally legal- you can buy a company with money you don’t have, sell off its assets, load it up with debt and then sell it for a profit to someone else who doesn’t actually have the money to buy it. All it takes is a really nice suit and a knowing wink to shareholders.

what amazes me more than a bunch of reddit users playing with the stock market is the fact that short selling is even legal period. it’s one of the most abused stock market systems and the fact that they’re getting smacked by the internet and have had more of an impact than the occupy wall street movement just proves…
