Can I be an Adriene Barbobot?

I think you can rent it on Amazon. It’s a great movie. It used to show up on one of the TNT type channels back in the cable days. One of those instances where a quarter of the movie is missing due to content, yet the runtime is still 2/3 longer because of all the commercials, and I’d still get sucked in. I finally

Ah, okay. That makes sense. Thanks!

Oh right. I’m still grey somehow. Ah well. Shoutouts to the void!

How do these systems work, exactly? Don’t most cars with rails say the max weight is about 150 pounds? Can you really safely put a 125 pound tent and a 200 pound adult up there?

The correct answer is get another i3. That car is great.

I love everything about my i3. Highly recommend driving one. It's so much fun.

Spoiler alert!

This genuinely never occurred to me. Thanks for teaching me something new today!

This has been a great thread. I’ll put new tires on my car in a few months and I’ve been debating the need to stay with Michelin. I drove cheap tires until Michelins came on my 1999 Hyundai Sonata(!) and was so impressed with the difference it’s the only brand I’ve bought since then.

1500 miles a month on a wall charger? That’s impressive! I went with a level 2 charger because it’s so much faster, and that’s driving ~500 miles a month. I don't charge it every day, but when I do I suppose I'm impatient :)

Exactly. And as the number of employees scales up, that starts to require infrastructure of its own. HR, attorneys, additional accountants, etc.

This is only part of the story. The other part is what you install at your home. If you install a Level 2 Tesla charger at home, you’re incentivized to stay with Telsa because you won’t have to buy / install a new charger. Compared to a car, it’s not a huge expense, but it’s still a few hundred dollars. I’m sure

Seconded. I love my i3. 99% of my driving is < 50 miles round trip. The i3 is peppy, fun to drive, and shockingly roomy. I’m 6'4 and fit comfortably, and the suicide doors make it easy to get the toddler in and out a car seat in the back.

Lucky. I'd love for her to beat me up. Hubba hubba.

I recently found sanity and decided my ten year old car in near perfect condition that’s a month away from being paid off (used, not a ten year loan!) is perfectly fine and will be for a long time.

You didn’t know that because it’s not true.

This is completely false. Gene Wilder didn’t write any of that movie and wasn’t even supposed to be in it. He was brought in when the original Waco Kid was found to be an actual alcoholic and couldn’t do the role. Wilder did it as a favor for Mel Brooks.

Mel Brooks intended to work with Richard Pryor on this movie from

I read an interview with Joe Pantoliano a few years ago where he said the same thing, saying he was at the “I want a young(er) Joey Pants” part of his career. I figure this was how Bill Burr got his role on The Mandalorian.

It’s Confederated Products. It’s a different company, it’s a different quality of product.
