I’ll freely admit, eyewitnesses claim Neely was acting aggressively. But what does aggression mean?

Orman’s whole thing is keeping your debt to a minumum and having a “balance” to your finances but when taken at face value her advice is to pay $600/mo on a 3 year old car, when someone who is probably a bit tight on the budget is going to find that not really feasable.  Wheras you finance that $20k at 60 months with…

I recently read that pretty much every EV qualifies for a full tax credit if leased.  It’s a gaping loophole.  I didn’t deep dive into this story but maybe do some googling and see what you can find out.

I think you are going too far in saying ‘a HELL of a lot’ — remember he ordered savage beatings of union organizers in 1941, years after GM and Chrysler had already recognized elected unions.

I want to go to one race for the experience, but I find it hard to believe it is as enjoyable as being able to watch the whole race, all over the track, like watching it on TV (I’ve been to other races, just not F1). Miami is obviously the best option as that’s where I live, but I would love to see some of the…

They would have to make it a LAW that any power that the “grid” steals from your car is purchased at the HIGHEST PEAK rate from homeowners. Otherwise you would pay retail to charge your car the grid will take power from your car and only pay you wholesale prices and now you have to pay retail to charge your car…

I think that’s great for being able to use it as a backup source for my house when the power goes out. Since I already need to have a car, I don’t have to pay another $20k to bolt a bunch of ugly ass batteries to the side of my house. And the car will get replaced every few years anyway, so no need to think about…

Exactly, Every time I see one of these Crap on PHEV articles it’s kinda maddening. I just got my first one in December and it’s almost a perfect fit. It only has ~25 miles range EV realistically in colder weather, but that’s enough for my daily round trip commute. I use gas on those days I end up driving long…

I switched from an EV (Tesla) which I owned for 7 years to a PHEV for this reason. I’m a single car household and started driving long distance more and while the Tesla wasn’t a bad long-distance driver it wasn’t a good long-distance driver. It obviously has great charging infrastructure but you are still required to…

2nd Gear: For love of christ, can we please stop with this idea that PHEV’s are a half measure? Most of their battery packs are less than a quarter the size of an equivalent BEV’s, and just about anyone who uses one will tell you the fill the gas tank less than 10 times a year. Using a fraction of the most critical…

I think you described most people. When the range of EV’s was super limited the argument was always “well the average commute is X so you don’t need that much range”. People who own plug in hybrid’s could feasibly do most of their driving on full electric and really only use the ICE when going on long trips. IMO plug…

2nd Gear: Plug-Ins

Who are plug in hybrids for? Honestly, they’re for people like me. Every other week I have to drive between 400 and 500 miles to Ohio in pretty much whatever weather god decided to throw at the midwest. The rest of the time, I don’t have to drive that much- I work remote and when I’m at home, aside…

Plug-ins are for:

This was basically inevitable given German domestic politics. We just need to make sure they don’t export dumb anti-nuclear attitudes to other countries.

It might have been this very site that published a few quotes from notorious far-right shitheel Jake Sheilds, who used this as an opportunity to drag San Francisco for what I’m sure were not-political reasons.

So glad we have responsible reactionary media that will, without a doubt, retract their articles insinuating it was unhoused people. /s

I’d argue the opposite could be argued equally; that COVID is in some ways a worst-case scenario. If it was actually “flu level deadly” (which, I mean, does kill a lot of people - but could kill fewer if people just stayed home when ill and got vaccinated annually), not nearly as many people would have died.

A big reason their costs are so low is that they charge luxury car money but are equipped more like a Mitsubishi Mirage with an Ipad bolted to the dashboard, and they have worse build quality.

Not only did the populace learn bad habits, the leaders learned that they can politicize public health for their own personal gain. In turn, that taught people not to trust public health officials and that public health directives were optional. Those are lessons that will never be forgotten and could kill millions.

“Lets see, corporate profits are at their highest in 70 years, were going into a recession, and we need to fix something that mainly affects NY city.... Oh I know! Let’s tax streaming services and delivery! No wait, how about taxing Uber and Lyft!" Gee why are people leaving NY state again?
