Yes. I live in his district and he is literally the best we can elect. You should see the response he sent me when I asked him to support the Green New Deal.

Sigh. That’s my guy. I voted for this guy because he’s the best we can do in this gerrymandered hellhole.

Are you visiting form 1988?

I was working in food service 15 years ago. And 20 years ago. And 25 years ago, and no, 15% was not standard then. Maye 25 years ago, but not 15.

I can’t remember the title, but I once read a great book by a former mayor of Milwaukee who had been instrumental in restoring the street grid in that city when it came time to make a update/tear down decision on a city-center freeway there. After tearing it down, door-to-door drive times were either unaffected or…

Thanks for this. I went to Biden’s Instagram and criticized him for this in the comments of his non-apology post from the other day.

Oh, I hadn’t thought about the “false positive” potential for this. That’s rough.

This is huge. I have a LEAF, but I also have a garage. It would not have been a feasible vehicle for me when I was an apartment dweller 5 years ago.

I do a lot of 200+ mile driving around the west, and I see tons of Teslas out on the highway very far from what most people would call a city. I’m wary or their quality issues and their “SUV” doesn’t meet my camping needs (and who am I kidding, I can’t afford one anyway) but they definitely have the charging…

How is real-world MPG calculated? Is that based on a national average of electricity generation source? I know regions of the US vary greatly in the carbon footprint of their electrical grid.

Anecdote: I studied karate for most of my grade school years. Lost interest, didn’t look back. Fast forward 12 years, I was a young adult at a concert when someone larger than me by inches and pounds charged at me for no reason I could discern. I blocked a punch and hit him twice in the face before we were pulled…

This is my thinking. I’m not an offroad toy buyer, but I know my home state has generous laws around what can be allowed on the road, hence the city streets of some of my favorite outdoor recreation towns being clogged with side-by-sides. Something like this could get me interested on tasteful design alone.

I keep a bottle of dried chopped chives in my pantry at all times for the purpose of tossing into eggs (or anything) without the bother of keeping fresh chives around. Also, chives are a great thing to grow and just snip off when you need them.

I endeavor to be a better example to my sons.

This is why a True Pint is served in a 20 oz glass to allow for a proper head and 16 oz of beer.

Huh. Interesting. I just googled the comparative nutrition and I admit I was surprised, especially by the sodium content of both Beyond and Impossible. Not clear if it’s a fair comparison given that most beef burgers contain a ton of added salt, but still. That being said, I’ll still take it on a carbon-footprint…

These guys. My dad is one of these guys, the “harmless” “charming” older white guys who think their attention is invariably flattering and anyone who disagrees needs to “relax”. I spent my entire childhood watching him make women squirm. Fuck these guys.

Real meat should and will eventually be a luxury.

As a bona-fide 90s teen, I never got these guys and the fact that they are failing at this gives me a bit of a schadenfreude hit. And that lede is pure gold.

That’s what the Senate is for.
