Back in grad school, I either biked or took the bus most places, so I put very few miles on my car. At one point, I realized it hadn’t had an oil change in over a year. That’s when I switched to calendar.

Every 3000 miles or every 3 months. You risk spontaneous combustion if you don’t keep up with that.

Reminds me of that other untouched Ford from a couple months back.

I think you meant band?

Probably too late this year (it starts tomorrow) but Kristen and Stef should definitely be a team next year! (I’m assuming Alanis is busy with school)

It also doesn’t hurt that the guy whose blood they were trying to forcibly draw was an off-duty cop. The head of his dept wrote an open letter supporting Wubbels and demanding an investigation.

The community with whom the relationship is typically ruined isn’t one they care to effectively police: black, latinx, and/or poor.

The same is true of scientists & academics: the period when you’re spending 12-16 hours a day doing research, writing papers, going to symposia, and fighting for tenure generally coincides with when people tend to start having kids. This ends up being less of an issue for men for exactly the same reason as it does for…

I’m an adult man in a co-ed hockey league. The best player on my team is a woman. I’m worried the league is going to make her go up a division next season.

Aside from him being a state rep not a congressional one, people’s perception of their congressperson is generally quite high. It’s the body as a whole which gets the low ratings.

She’s 20 years younger than my mother, but looks like she could be my grandma.

My preferred way of learning the tech in my car is just to press every button and see what happens.

These are going to be tested up the road from me (I work at a DoE site near a very large, government run power company). I’m excited to see how it goes.

To be perfectly clear: It’s always safer to drive when you’re not stoned, Hansen said.

I had a friend in grad school who... well, he smoked a lot. Anyway, he lived next door, so he’d often just drop by. This one time, he came over and started about something I couldn’t understand at first. I asked if he was high, and he stopped, thought for a minute, then said he wasn’t sure I’d ever seen him when he…

You’re limited to 5000 miles/year on those leases, and there are some fees involved. You’d have to drive 140k miles to make up the difference, but this program also lets you switch cars whenever you want. Daily a Boxster S but decide you want more cargo room for a trip? Go swap it for a Macan S for a week.

The same company makes some of them. Others are converted Nissan NV200s.

People are working on that, but the problem is the last step: you have to take the mail from the truck and put it in the boxes, which are far from standardized and often not on the street. Having an autonomous vehicle drive a postal worker around to the various neighborhoods isn’t saving you a lot.
