Exactly. I spent most of 15 years in food service before getting a family and a “real job.” 2 years later I found myself out of work and threw myself back into my familiar former career. I liked the freedom, I liked the pace, and the money was OK, but I needed a health insurance and more consistent income, so I headed…

Subaru Impreza hatch. If you go all the way back to like ‘05, you might even get a WRX at that price.

Ideally, yes.

Well sure, I know that NOW.

That would be up to (varying) local ordinance, but whether or not it’s legal, it’s definitely a dick move.

Too many sides, not enough (zero) chicken sandwiches.

Any physical play that lets them get out energy while exploring power dynamics is good for kids. Playing Chase or letting them win at “races” across the yard or house accomplishes a lot of the same things.

I like eating alone. Take myself out, read a book, get a little writing done. Articles about the people eating alone are micro-aggressive toward introverts. If some “Good Samaritan” sat down to “keep me company” while I was eating alone I would be PISSED.

It sounds to me like we’re on the same page about what we’d want this truck to do. I want to tow a 3000-lb camper around Utah and the surrounding states. My reading tells me that the charging infrastructure to make that doable is coming online in the next year or two thanks to dieselgate. But I concede there are a lot…

This has already been set up in the Calypso short. Craft arrives on a “V’Draysh” escape pod with English text and a library of Earth cartoons. The writer has confirmed that “V’Draysh” is a corruption of “Federation”, who are apparently engaged in a war with a human colony.

On my last project I had to switch to the other hardware store because I couldn’t bring myself to show my face at the first one for a third time in 6 hours.

Folks want a bed to throw their muddy mountain bikes in. And to haul lumber for DIY projects. I know I do. This truck is for the REI-shopping professional who has been holding off on buying a Tundra because they can’t justify the fuel efficiency difference from their Outback for ideological rather than economic…

That’s all I’m saying, from a logistics and traffic flow point of view. Fast forward 10 or 15 years when electrics are like 20% or the total fleet, and a bunch of people backing trailers out of spots at the “fuel” stop is going to be a cluster.

I’ve thought about exactly this. Most chargers are pull-in parking spots. Highway chargers are going to need to move to a pull-through gas station configuration.

All of that money is batteries. An electric F-150 will come in at the same price.

To add on to this, the next generation of fast DC chargers will be capable of 350 kw per hour charge, so a three-hundred mile charge could be completed in 20 or 30 minutes. I have a 5 year old, so that’s well within my rest stop for bathroom and snacks tolerances.

I’m super confused about this as well.

I do not believe that time is money, but I do believe that money can be time. Sometimes projects are fun, and a good bonding/teaching opportunity with the kids, but sometimes hiking on the weekend while a professional does a project is a better bonding opportunity.

Democrats need to get better as selling these kinds of policies as benefiting society as a whole. If the Youngs don’t have student debt, then they’ll buy cars and houses, which creates more jobs than servicing debt. If people get a high-quality free education, they’ll be better employees and less likely to engage in…

Huh. I hadn’t heard that one from Pete. That’s been my personal favorite barstool policy for most of 20 years now.
