where drinking and snowmobiling are a big thing

Me: What could go right is a shorter list

I hate subscription concepts as a rule.

whelp I won’t be buying a Ford.

Don’t look up

I had a 2003 Civic hybrid that had the battery die at about 140k. Milked it to 160 before it wouldn’t pass emissions. Ended up buying another hybrid but I wish I’d just replaced the battery.

We look forward to your future Jalop article suggestion ;-)

No idea but I’d assume it’s something about temp tags to get it from buying state to home state.

We need to get off of our dependence on long haul trucks. Literally no one wants to do the job. If you paid enough to have people to want to do the job, it wouldn’t be economically viable.

I’ve basically driven with my headlights on, since the late 90s. Had a car where the ‘your lights are on’ warning died...and so did my battery a few times, so I just got in the habit of turn on when getting in and turn off when leaving.

Well it was going to happen as soon as Hell froze over but there was a conversion error

I’d assume it would know from GPS where it is/going and either not accept a route leaving CA or pull over if the driver doesn’t accept the change in requirements.

Definitely true.   Article was about cost savings.

I have a 5 bedroom house with gas heat. DC/VA area. My winter gas bills are at worst around $150/month. Even if you stretch that to $200/month you still aren’t going to be saving that much.

Agreed.  Arguing comes later when you have to buy another when what you bought breaks in 6 months.

Just to keep things in perspective. 72 down to 68 is going to save you maybe 10 bucks a month. (region and weather adjusted obvs)

adjusting plans when a major storm is coming is fare more effective than trying to pack the right tools so you can stupidly try to fight your way through it.

Marginally better but not great. Avoidable winter storm gridlock vs climate catastrophe...not exactly a hard choice

I’d actually pay money to have NBC coverage disabled.

Or use a VPN and just go to BBC, CBC or any other nations coverage where *public* goods are available to the *public*, not locked behind a corporate paywall.
