IMO the answer isn’t banning them

To be fair just finishing that race is an enormous accomplishment and a testament to their endurance (and doping regime).

That’s assuming he’s moving for anything other than to protect his capital gains.....

It’s hardly a slam dunk for tech employees, who will likely get paid less than they would in California, which in many cases more than cancels out Texas’ lack of an income tax.

Austin traffic is terrible, and houses in Austin are also getting very expensive. The more affordable houses are farther out and there’s…

I’ve lived in TX for more than a decade now and my experience is that its conservatism is more of the libertarian than busybody variety. People mostly just want to do their own thing. It’s honestly why the abortion bill is so perplexing, it’s basically Abbot pandering to a small but vocal crowd.

the cost of living in austin isnt that much lower than california and its getting higher very quickly. we already cant supply power and water to the amount of people and businesses here this is only going to make it worse.

I remember back when all the tech companies moved from CA to TX when I was a kid. It was a whole thing, with companies moving and news reports and it was the end of California. Yeah, the old “Nerd Bird”. Here’s an article from 2001 citing it:

You’re just going to make a slideshow out of the responses, aren’t you?

Maybe we should start by defining “American”. Is a Toyota Tundra built in Texas American? How about a Ford Fiesta built in Mexico?

Not to be pedantic but...

Seems weird. This is the company that created the minivan phenomenon in the U.S. They weren’t the only player, but they ended up dominating the market. and then lost it in the 1990 when everyone started hating “soccer mom’s in minivans” who then switched to “soccer mom’s in urban assault vehicles.”

“We design all of those Trail Rated elements from the ground up… it’s not just a marketing term.”

To be fair, the speed bumps at Trader Joes can be pretty nasty....

All bootlegs I’d imagine.

Perhaps worth noting, Whiting Turner is a massive ($8.4B in annual revenue) construction company. This is not a small-time Maryland contractor. They have offices and do projects all over the country.

Maybe he just thought it would be funny, but harassing random strangers and forcing them to inhale half burned diesel fumes is still (as the article mentions) assault. And the smoke is what I meant by physical harm.

I’m a nurse at a major general hospital. We’ve seen a lot of death and suffering. Talking to fellow nurses, and doctors, the people in our lives “just asking questions” have no interest in listening or believing our stories. I’ve given up on those people, because analyzing past data, you come to the realization: they…

At Disneyland you’re an adult aged 12. Just saying.

Maybe the riders should also file a class action against who ever made the delete device and who ever removed the equipment from the truck on top of the EPA going after him and who ever did the mods. After all, can’t roll coal if you can’t find anybody willing to break federal law to allow it to happen!

Older teenagers arent kids. Kids cant legally drive cars, etc., you shouldnt need a lesson to not do this. He needs to be made an example of and authorities should seize coal rollers like they do ATVs in cities and publicly crush them
