It’s nice to know which neighbors I really don’t care to ever meet now though.

Probably some of that, but I think the biggest reason they support NASA is they view it as a dick waving competition. They just want a big rocket to shoot loads into space with. It’s why they constantly complain about NASA doing any climate related research.

It’s almost like things change and what was true three months ago may not be this month. Weird.

So the mean cost is going to be highly skewed. The median cost would be more informative.

I want to say “about time”...but I don’t have any confidence that they’ll ever see a cent.

Just for people not aware of how big mayfly hatchings can be, here is one hatching that showed up on radar

Very cool car, but maybe don’t take safety tips from David

I’d totally rock VWs electric van concept, while I’d only have a traditional minivan if I absolutely needed on. Too bad it’s probably going to cost $60k if it ever comes out.

I’ve had this argument before with people...and I correct my statement to “worst president in modern times” and follow it up with, “but is this really the argument you want to be making “nu-uh, Jackson is worse by a mile”?”

I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt. Some people do really shitty things as a teenager and end up being good people as adults. But then I got to this sentence (emphasis mine),

You don’t want to help others and take just a few basic precautions??

I think your company is mis-classifying you as a contractor then. Because the truly independent engineers I know negotiate their rate with whatever firm they are working for and just need to meet deadlines. There are no specified work hours. Does your company tell you when and where to show up? How many hours to work?…

Yes, companies invest in meeting standards to make money. No major company is going to forsake the California market because the standard is different.

#3 In a time of work shortages, record unemployment, and a pandemic, the last thing we need are two separate emissions standards to complicate things.

There are going to be smoking deals on lightly used boats and campers in a couple years though. Every boat and camper dealer I’ve heard about has been moving more inventory than they ever have before with people looking for something to do outdoors. I imagine a lot of these new boat/camper owners will be selling in a…

The mission of the FPS is to “prevent, protect, respond to, and recover from terrorism, criminal acts and other hazards threatening” the US government and its infrastructure.

Man, that’s too bad about the cars on that one. Would have been cool for Mazda to sell them at like half price with no warranty, but I am sure the lawyers squashed that idea.

What I want to know is how they managed that without seemingly damaging any body panels. It’s impressive in its own way.

Yup...touchscreens have to be looked at to be used. It’s why I could text someone back without looking at my phone when I had a “dumb phone” but can’t do anything without looking at my “smart phone”
