That is a very true statement

Or Somalia.

“A well-regulated militia”

And the temperature may fall to 100 deg F when that happens.

I just bought gas for the first time this year, my last tank lasted from December 20. Working from home and not having to travel for work is great

As I manage a global team in a global org, I’m very comfortable with specifying times zones (and dates) very clearly in all communication.

Driving smaller vehicles, getting off your phone, and putting down the (legal) bong would all help.

You really think someone who lives in a place like that would be doing oil changes on their driveway?

Yukon already got rid of time changes, so it’s likely that BC will be close behind.

A friend of mine was T-boned by a driver that ran a stop sign. Her 2 year old Yukon Denali was totaled and five people in her vehicle had to go to the ER. The at-fault driver had Minnesota state minimum liability insurance which is $10,000 for property and $60k max for injury.

Or the Spanish, or Koreans, or Japanese.  Pretty much any advanced country except the UK, US and Canada

Meanwhile SNCF are running double deck 200mph trains to every city in France a dozen times a day. What do they know?

It’s Florida, so it’s almost certain to be a scam.

I absolutely agree with you on the politicizing of issues that shouldn’t be. I wish it were not so. But any reading or listening to populist media here and in the UK will show that a certain proportion of the right-leaning commentariat absolutely *hate* cyclists - presumably because they are too European or don’t…

They were approximately 20-30% cheaper adjusted for inflation - at least at the cheap end of the market. I just saw a 1976 newspaper advertising AM Pacers starting at $3400 which would be about $20,000 with inflation. Similar newspapers advertise base model Nissan and Kias for $25-30k today (even if they don’t…

When I was a kid it was unusual and noteworthy for a car to reach 100,000 miles. So it’s only been 20-30 years that has become an expectation.

PHEV Landrover Defender 110. Available in the UK, but not here.

A 69 year old high school janitor was killed by a hit and run driver just outside my town on Monday night. It was the day before his 70th birthday.

The Navy paints ships haze grey to make them harder to see. Obviously cars aren’t (usually) driving on the ocean - but it seems like a bad idea to paint them a color that is deliberately hard to see.

Two kids and two dogs, you’ll do fine with a Prius or a Bolt.  If you need to tow your house every day of the week, you’ll need a big truck.  But you should be taxed and licensed appropriately for driving such an oversize vehicle.
