Wow. That escalated quickly.

I read this Flanagan piece last night and my blood is still boiling. Very tired of hearing literally anything about climate change from anyone who will likely be dead within 20 0r 30 years.

GM introduced a skateboard/swappable body concept in the early 2000s. I think they called it “Autonomy”. It was focused on fuel cell tech, but still essentially the same thing.

My nephew is still driving my base model ‘01 Impreza hatch and it’s slowly desinigrating from the outside in, but it’s never had an unexpected mechanical issue going on 200,000. If it weren’t for the local adundance of winter road salt, I’m convinced it would go on forever.

Gross.

I had a Hot Wheels (or maybe Matchbox) of this when I was very young.

He’s a for-reals Marxist. I don’t mean that in a derogatory way either, but seeing economic justice as a panacea is a definite ideological blind spot.

I believe I saw every Ernest movie in the theater, and my father, bless him, sat right next to me for not fathomable reason other than that he loved me very much.

Hey-Oh!

I relate to this. I once lost 25 pounds because I was working 90 hours a week on my feet and not getting enough time to put food in my body. Ironically, I was managing a restaurant. A friend told me I “Look(ed) great!”. I was more miserable than I had ever been in my life, which I told her, and she just repeated her…

People who use ABV as their primary metric for beer quality are like people who only judge food by how spicy it is or how much gratuitous bacon it contains. They lack actual taste and understanding of subtlety. I’m not saying alcohol content doesn’t impact the flavor profile of a beer, but it is just one factor among…

A few years ago I got a decent day job that paid me enough money and kept me busy writing, even if it was pretty boring writing. I still have creative projects on the side, but they don’t really pay so don’t qualify as a hustle. One of the most freeing moments of my life was when a friend reached out to me with a…

So you won’t be returning? Good.

No, they make excellent session beers in accordance with local regulation.

Fair enough. And I agree that Epic would love to sell their stuff in the grocery stores as well. My general statement comes from my personal experience in the Utah brewery world over the past couple of decades and personal conversations with Utah brewers, but not recently and not about this specific legislation.

Because Utah’s (strong) local craft beer scene is built around lower-strength beer. They’ve spent 30 years exploiting a market niche for low-strength beer. Mid-sized breweries don’t have the capacity or desire to brew and package beer especially for the Utah market, so they’re available, but only in state-run liquor…

Boys will be what you socialize and reinforce them to be.

That range indicator is based on an algorithm of past use and is derively referred to as “GOM” for “Guess-o-meter” in online EV spaces. Which is to say, actual mileage may vary. I drive a Leaf and my home is in the mountain foothills and my office is downtown on the valley floor. So, when I plug my car in at the end…

I am perplexed by the regard people have for Blue Jasmine. What a stilted out-of-touch mess. It was like he found a first draft of a script from the 80s in a shoebox and just went ahead without giving it a re-read first. That’s when I gave up Allen on the basis of quality.

Was “WMDs” taken?
