“Add in that our private charging networks are slapdash and poorly maintained”

My F150 (with the V8) gets 18 mpg with regular use and 15 mpg when towing a 7,000 lb camper. That’s about a 17% reduction. I did have an Ecoboost loaner once and it had about a 22% reduction with the same camper.

I agree on the importance of a good meat thermometer, but cheap ones are pretty much useless. You need a good one, like the Thermoworks Thermapen. It’ll break your $50 budget but is well worth it.

1st Gear: Would it kill you to include the price of the 500e when it comes here? I looked it up for you - estimate is around $30K.

My favourite version of these book bans is the Bible ban in a Utah school district (deliberately designed by a parent to show how ridiculous the process is)...

Huh?

Funny how folks who claim to have seen these things NEVER seem to be able to get a picture or video of it.  I mean, all of those Bigfoot sightings and not one damn picture.

Sounds like bullshit to me.

...and that doesn’t even account for the fact that even 5% interest (which you can get on a simple Treasury Bond these days) on $1B nets you $50M a year, so it would take him even longer than that to run out of money.

A frickin’ slideshow on someone’s death? Really?

Define a copyrighted landmark. I’m betting that this guys’ back yard does nop fall under your definition.

All I want to know is where mermaids buy their bras, and who is making them!

You don’t seem to know what a temporary tag is.

“In much of America, a traffic infraction like having a fake license plate would be more than enough reason for local law enforcement to pull you over”

It’s a bodycam.  She wasn’t holding it.

Some people are easily impressed.

You listed a number of artists that performed the National Anthem at the Superbowl yet somehow failed to mention Chris Stapleton, who absolutely nailed it at the last one.

Same here. Not only for those reasons, but I rarely take my phone with me to a restaurant anyway.

...without zooming in on it. You CAN zoom in on it you know.  That being said, I hate the QR code menu thing.

Given that a C130's stall speed is 115 mph, the wind must have been a little bad.
