*VAG looks around nervously*

250.3 pools by my calculations.

Depends on if the Hummer can actually navigate to the top, and if it got there, those 50 spaces would turn into 20 so it would balance out?

Agreed. If I owned a new BMW with the digital cluster and they offered a reskin of the gauges so they looked like vintage BMW gauges I would 100% buy it. I have no issue for these kind of app related options.

Same thing happens in Australia. My wife went through one yesterday morning (930am on a Wednesday morning). There’s no sobriety test, just blow in a tube and the machine will tell me. If they still think you’re on a non-alcoholic substance then there will be further testing.

Plus, cooling the reactor would not be an issue! ;)

Oh I’m well aware of that. I lived in Buffalo, NY for some time and when NYS announced they would legalise possession of cannabis for personal use, the chief of police said the quiet part out loud and asked the question, “what excuse will we use to search people’s cars now?”.

It was 110% used in Buffalo to oppress…

That’s a lot of plastic doing work pretending to be a window between the back doors and the hatch. I miss those windows and a real D pillar in cars.

I’ll never not be surprised that even in 2023, the sobriety test like this exists. Just have him blow in a tube and read his BAC. The time savings alone would be incredible, let alone the wrongful arrests (outside of this case of course).

It would surprise me given that it’s a marginally smaller M3/4 and those have been lauded heavily for their driving dynamics.

I had the opportunity to do a two up ride but with MotoAmerica last year. The biggest surprise for me was just how hard you can pummel the brakes on a race bike leading into the corner. I had expected to be surprised by the speed and I was but I was shocked by the braking, that was the hardest part physically for me.

I live in hope.

Last year NYS committed to putting the park back in Buffalo over the Kensington Expressway that Robert Moses used to segregate the city in the 50s. Hopefully they commit as much as Houston did and put an actual park with trees there, not just some grass.

Speaking of old tech making an exciting comeback, I’m curious as to why vanadium redox flow batteries are not being talked about as much as they should be. They seem to be a good solution for the current needs to scale up energy storage. I’d much prefer to have one residentially over an LFP option.

Imagining what would effectively be a non-locked down version of Linux (it’s already in most cars) that regular people have to maintain made me chortle.

At my old workplace if something was an addiction you got one single warning and then you could be terminated without room for reinstatement. I can see them arguing gambling addiction and setting forth a plan to solve it as part of the reinstatement.

Some people smoke, some people drink, some people eat licorice. We all like poisoning ourselves just a little bit haha.

It’s fine, they are all stupid and the storm wasn’t that bad.

/s

Socioeconomics will define a large portion of what happened in these areas. Many people in more affluent suburbs outside of the city were going to Christmas parties etc. Many people in the (often exceedingly) poor areas of the city were forced to go to…

No single element was unique but what happens when you combine them all together? Are we not allowed to do that or does that not fit with your perception of things?

You absolutely count the deaths for people who were unable to get an ambulance to arrive because the person’s chance of survival hinged on that ambulance…

There were many, many warnings about it. The only major misstep that I see so far from Erie County is that they didn’t put traffic bans in place until 12pm on Friday, so lots of people went to work and then had to try and go home during the storm. Many of the companies/businesses involved should be investigated…
