People are still getting takeout? That’s the last thing I’d do now. Instead, we’re cooking, baking and gardening. I know it sucks for the restaurants and their employees but it’s kinda nice to feel somewhat self-sufficient.

I think (optimistically) that every democrat will put aside their issues with Biden and just vote for the fucker. All the democratic candidates were pretty unified on making sure Trump does not get re-elected. Plus, Biden is old enough that one term might be enough for him and he could pick a cool running mate. My…

Hey, it got him publicity.  A message is worthless if no one hears it.

Yup, it’s illegal, highly risky and a danger to the public.  That’s what the anarchist in everyone loves.

He can’t take it to the track, not because of they’re closed but because he doesn’t want to be filmed getting lapped by a Miata with a real driver.

When I was a kid, there was a guy who had a Mercury Cyclone all hot-rodded up. He would start at one end of the block and spin the rear tires all the way to the end. All we could do was gawk.  Now I just think what an idiot.  I’m old.

You know the answer.  The fucking DNC decides, not the voters.  Half the candidates in the last debate were better than Biden, yet we get Biden.  The only hope is that Biden doesn’t do anything stupid and enough Democrats decide getting rid of Trump is more important.

It’s really, really easy to just make your own pizza at home. Heck even getting a frozen cheese pizza and adding all the toppings you want works great. The side benefit is you get to slice it yourself.

I totally agree that Uber drivers should get the same benefits as employees. It’s also fine if they want to call them independent contractors but the result should be the same. The reason employees have these benefits is because of the law not the generosity of the employer. Uber has fought this tooth and nail. …

A solution in search of a problem.

Seems to me you don’t really need an app to tell you this.  What we really need is self-administered testing (like a pregnancy test).

And this exactly why Uber has been fighting like crazy against reclassifying drivers as employees. They don’t win if they have to pay all the extras that companies pay for employees. The fallacy is that drivers need to be “independent contractors“ in order to have flexibility.

Because unemployment insurance comes out of payroll and contractors aren’t on the same payroll. It’s the same with social security.

Yes, let’s all be selfish based on our political ideology. Jeezus.

When I was in my mid-20s, the GF and I would easily ride 400 miles per day hunched over on a crotch rocket (my arms were like steel). Covered 6 states and a bunch of the national parks in the west on a 2 week vacation. Several decades later...there’s no way I’m riding on a seat the size of a 2x4 all day long.

Thank you for saying this.

A fatality rate of 3% isn’t your garden variety flu.

Are you so sure?  My wife and I are affluent and retired, we support Bernie over Joe.  Sometimes change is actually necessary.

This is pretty much what my wife and I did. I happily recommend it.
