Ummmm, Texas has one of the highest outputs for wind and solar energy in the country.  They are 2nd behind CA for solar, used to be #1 for wind although Iowa might have recently taken that spot.

Why is it such a BFD when two women don’t get along? Our vaginas aren’t magnets; we don’t immediately bond with someone because of our gender.

You can’t just cut the load bearing ribbon! 

1st Gear: Of course nothing is going to stop Porsche’s IPO. Do you think the Porsche/Piech family is going to pass up on a massive cash grab without giving up any control? They’re not going to cash out like Fiat’s Agnelli family until they’re genuinely tired of that shit. And the Piech family is likely too power-mad…

It’s not a legal restriction. It’s more like, “My lawyers told me about 700 times that I shouldn’t talk about this in public.” They want to be able to control as much information related to the case as possible and having your client talking about it freely in a public forum hugely diminishes that control. 

No law stopping her, but she could self-incriminate and give the prosecutor legal ammo.

“Unfortunately, because there is an ongoing legal case, there’s very little that I can say right now.”

If Schneider is around, slowly and while making eye contact.

“she ate a pickle while applying lip gloss”
Ok, connotations aside, how do you even do that?

“everytime I see that episode”

this is a $1000 car, tops.  this used car price bubble is complete horseshit.

This is also from 1986:

The ‘80s were a strange time and cocaine is a hell of a drug.

It’s called “the malaise era” for many, many reasons

I think you meant $7 Gran.

What’s the most 80's way to kill a sitcom dad? I think you go Punky Brewster and have him suffocate to death in an abandoned fridge. 

At this point it’s going to go on longer than the actual 1980s. 

Eh, there’s something to be said for subtlety in media. I like stories that make me think about the point more than stories that make it super obvious.

I always wonder what people think will happen if the nuclear plants are shut down. Human beings aren’t going to accept having less energy and they will complain loudly about paying more. Any deficit is obviously going to be met with fossil fuels for a good, long, time and that is inarguably much, much worse.

Not to mention burning coal releases shittons of uranium into the air, something that doesn’t get mentioned enough when talking about coal plants
