Texas. Because it never ends. Sure Kansas and Nebraska are flat nothingness. But Texas is interminable.

lmao the cost of this is more than I paid for a custom built plaster pool in the DC area where pool building isn’t cheap.

smith and wesson clarifies that they weren’t even present when all those guns were used to kill people

not saying there’s a problem. it was more of a “scoping out the size of the opportunity” post.

the main difference would be that automakers do a lot to make their products as safe as possible for not just the owner/user, but for everyone else. gun manufacturers have zero safety measures for virtually the entire industry. the slippery slope should be getting federal regulations around gun safety as strong as…

if gun makers only got 1% of the fault and had to pay $10.5M every time someone was murdered with a gun, they’d be forking over $203,532,000,000 for 2021 alone.

a facebook conversation I had with one of my college friends who was adamant about voting for Gary Johnson in 2016. this was the day Roe was overturned.

“you can travel billions of years in emptiness”

coal ash is a substitute for portland cement and is in no way necessary to make concrete.  it is being used as a byproduct of the burning of coal for energy.  coal is not mined for the express purpose of making concrete.

the problem is that a train just isn’t feasible for most of the corridor, because there aren’t population centers to justify them. for example, a train would do nothing to alleviate vacation traffic to the plethora of beaches along the NC/SC/GA coasts. A train route that could get me from DC to wilmington, NC would…

I have lots of feedback on this article (boat = Bring On Another Thousand), but the I-95 one resonated the most with me

yes, but 20% of something isn’t close to being the norm, which is what the OP’s assertion a 3-digit mortgage should be.

ohy thank god I can finally get a $500 watch that finally does what the $10 thermometer from CVS does!

i mean I know as a homeowner, I often refer to my mortgage payment separate of insurance and property taxes, despite the fact it’s one single debit from my account.

writing an entire article about another auto jurno’s work without as much as a single link to it? i hope this was just an accidental oversight.

ok so I was gonna roll my eyes at the pooh game but I got to stage 4 with roo and that was hilariouly tough

this simply isn’t true. while the median price has increased by $100K in the past couple years (absurd as that is), you have to go to 1999 to get to a median of $160K

the median is actually $1600. and I’m quite sure you can get a mortgage under $1000 if you buy a crummy place in almost BFE or a nice enough place in actual BFE.

yes.  and lookingat more updated numbers for media vs. average, the median home price is now north of $400K.  Which means that $160K is probably covering less than 20% of the homes in america right now.  my point stands.
