Have you ever left your tri-state area? It’s a big country and there certainly are open stretches, but that there’s hardly “nothing” between the coasts.

”Australia is a lot like the U.S. — a large country with major cities on the coasts and vast stretches of nothing in between.”

Once you question things, and your questions have proved moot, you should stop. Every state has shown that their electoral systems are safe. As we know, the real challenges to election integrity were by republicans who committed voter fraud or who tried to set up false slates of electors or who are currently engaged…

One wonders how many of the overpoliced residents lost their right to vote through bullshit charges thanks to overpolicing.

lol that’s how you shut shit down in the south. “If you excessively fine that money will go to schools” OH we can’t have that happen!

They do have a volunteer FD, per the source article (which is very thorough and terrifying, linked above via AL.com — recommended reading). I would also be shocked if the cops actually lived in the town, since it’s a small place and they can easily commute from another jurisdiction.

The part that pissed me off even more is that they run mostly unmarked cars and have officers without markings. Not to mention that they have a massive PAID police department but a volunteer FIRE department.

That quote sounds about white to me...

Missouri closed this loophole a few years ago. SB5 states:

These guys aren’t policemen, they’re assholes on a power-trip. Look at this shit:

“Network Interruption” and steering....JHFC....those two words shouldn’t correlate together. Yet, here we are.

As someone with an ABS/Traction Control/Stability Control systems/Vehicle network background I could see how this could happen. The major issue here seems to be wheel speed/steering angle/yaw rate correlation. The ABS module constantly cross checks these three things to make sure they all work and they all agree. They…

Sure, as soon as Ford renames it to the Probe.

Great Britain is a great modern example of how the hubris of once being a great empire fucks your long term prosperity.

It’s sad how Mazda with the Miata and BMW with the new Mini managed to turn iconic British vehicles into beloved contemporary automobiles, while the British auto industry basically just whithered on the vine and died... being gobbled up by foreign car companies who were able to actually leverage the goodwill packed…

OK, what I’m gonna need you to do is pull up the top oil producers in the world and their human rights records, but don’t look yet! Grab yourself a big old coffee and take a big sip first! 

Almond Milk. Because of Almond milk, almond prices have spiked in last 10 years. But growing more almond trees takes time. Higher demand with the same supply leads to price spikes. Looking it up, almonds are about $1.50/lb bulk right now. A 40 foot trailer of nuts holds about 60,000 lbs. So that’s $90k for a single…

For a small minority of people, there will never be enough range in a BEV to quell range anxiety fears.

It’s almost as if the primary use of chargers at a dealership would be the cars for sale at the dealership.

They also seem to be geniuses
