So, the laser-focus of reducing tailpipe emissions has other ramifications on the planet that were poorly thought out by the people making these decisions.

This is probably the most intelligent comment to date about this issue. It isn’t that we don’t have enough lithium and cobalt in the planet. It is just that it can’t be mined if it is at difficult depths to reach because that is expensive, and the technology currently used isn’t up to it. Mining is also extremely…

“Also, what does the access to lithium look like? Much like gold there’s probably a lot we simply can’t get to from a practicality standpoint, much less an environmental standpoint.”

Nickel.

I’ve done that. Helmet, gloves, earplugs, unzipping the jacket. There’s a lot going on as soon as I hop off. It’s not crazy to walk off without it.

Oh I just genuinely forgot it. 

I had a written offer from Lexus to buy an IS off me, I’d taken my ad down but a guy who’d previously been interested rang me again. I was honest and said beat the price Lexus are offering by $50 and the car is yours.

Still pissed the cops took your beer in High School I see!

“The guy was reaching to cover the seatbelt release so they could not pull him from the car.“

dude was just going to get a ticket for a fake plate, what happened next was his choice

The driver chose to pull a gun. Stupid is as stupid does. 

• It started as an intentionally fake license plate (dumb)

I feel aweful for everyone involved here. For the loss of life, for the loss of a son. For the officers who have to live with taking a life (leaving out whether or not it was justified...you still gotta live with that).

I have to disagree, the driver threatened the officers, then reached for a firearm that after the event was on the floor on the passenger side. the only way that gun moves from his holster to the floor is if he was pulling it from the holster so this was 100% a case where the force was justified. He intended to shoot…
