$ amount of destruction, more value in structures and assets on the east coast in that area than the southern coast I presume. Pure population density.

I think what’s more important to note here, is that we as a society have advanced to such a level that it is actually easier to change the weather than build a garage........

A poster above mentioned that because the average price of soybeans has gone up since then, they’ve actually increased in value by a million or so dollars. Also, if it’s a 25% tariff at 6m dollars (as per the article) then we can assume the load is worth ~25m dollars. At 12.5k per day, we come up with 2,000 days…

Everything in the article was good (regardless I don’t like or trust them) except the one paragraph where you recite their first listed benefits......

“The electronic parking brake allowed for activation anytime the car came to a standstill, which caused less worry when stopped on a hill or in creeping traffic, and if…

Got pulled over on THIS VERY SAME ROAD a few years back driving a Saab 9-2x Aero by a Senior State Trooper driving a cherry red Impala with a god damn wing on the back.

Conspiracy Theory.......

I’ve seen a pile of shit from a horse that was as big as a dog.......

So because Israel is closer to a first-world nations abilities to retaliate/defend/attack, they are the worse actor in this situation? Their ‘privilege’ in the way they respond to their situation is what makes them MORE evil? Is there some kind of weird, pro-terror underdog complex going on here?

I swear, I understand…

Meh, I think “custom” is the perfect word here, a socially expected act that is by technicality “optional”. A responsibility or a duty is something your held to with tangible negative consequences to failing.

I’m white (as hell, by heritage, slightly darker by skin-tone) and this happens to me and my dog ALL THE TIME. Literally had crowds of 30 people taking pictures of her at Yellowstone National Park (white past-time?) without so much as saying “wow your dog is cute” or aiming ANY kind of interaction at myself.…

My personal opinions aside.........

Oh have no fear friend, I knew this would immediately devolve into “You american’s know nothing about the REAL world!” I couldn’t possibly have empathy for those less fortunate though, given my hyper-privileged status on earth. Thanks for making me more aware of what an ignorant dolt I am!

I’m not sure the perks of a particular citizenship outweigh “everything” that is a problem.

Octane and it’s effects seem to be on the same tier of question as “What is torque?”

Haha I understand that, I just thought that was a more major function of the permitting for medallions, not the curb side hailing.

Thank you, so.....damn......much. I have tried to find an answer to that question for ages, and no one seems to be able to show me a difference. I don’t reside in an area serviced by cabs, so the nature of curbside instantaneous rides vs. call ins was lost on me. This however completely resolves my issue, I used to…

Whats the fundamental difference between uber and a taxicab? If I can’t as a private citizen start my own private taxi service in NYC without a permit medallion, why can I start an app that connects people needing rides to private citizens who want to operate their own taxis?

Now I suppose I can respect an out of context opinion on my driving style........
But I live in a snow state too, Montana, at approx. 7500 ft. elevation. It snows up here...... lots. Like this morning. And I drive a snow plow for a living. So I may be going out on a limb here but I *think* I know how to drive on snow.
T…

Your friend was probably ignorant, but.....

Probably not the majority opinion here, but I think she just doesn’t understand.
