Governor Hot Wheels is already blaming windmills for the future grid problems this summer.

I can’t wait for ERCOT to say that they didn’t expect heat as if June isn’t generally hot here every single year.

So how’s that electrical grid doing, Texas?

The truly greedy ones were Ethiopian - they took delivery of the accident aircraft after the preliminary report from Lion Air came out and after the Emergency AD and the FCOM (Flight Crew Operating Manual) updates telling exactly how to handle the problem.

Nope. Not buying your sob story. You took out the loans, you knew the repayment schedule, you knew your crappy degree wouldn’t produce a job to pay back what you owed. You also had two years to figure out a repayment plan, refinance, or save for your payments to resume.

Children? How are 18 year olds children? Old enough to vote, old enough to be sent off to war, old enough to smoke/drink in most countries, and old enough to have made a few big decisions already.  Might want to get out of your U.S. bubble every now and then.  They made the decision.  If they had parents, the parents…

why stop with student debt? Why should I have to pay off my mortgage, my car loan, my credit card debt. I never went to college. I want my free money too!!

Fuck

There needs to be zero tolerance for this kinda shit. Go straight to jail. No bond. A prison sentence and enough of a fine that it ruins their lives forever. And do the same to all the assholes that harrass and assault retail employees. 

The moment he turned around and said “I’ve got you ma’am” to the flight attendant melted my heart. But the rest of it was absolutely horrible. One of the saddest things about the last four years is how the ahole in chief taught Americans to openly hate each other and removed the shame that previously stopped most idiot…

Y’all, I hate to bring it to your attention, but from my limited experiences out in the Real World these past few months, this sort of behavior isn’t limited to just airplanes.

My lady friend has often talked about how Trump stoked hatred and anger in this country. I’ve always downplayed it, because while I believe he has done that with the MAGA crowd and the racists, I didn’t think one person, even POTUS, could get average Americans so angry at each other. I might be wrong.

The guy that intervened was having exactly none of Karen’s bullshit and good for him.

I fully support throwing the book at these fuckers, flying is unpleasant enough without these stupid assholes lashing out at the people who’s job it is to keep you safe and comfortable while you’re stuffed in a metal tube with a bunch…

That’s fair.

Those are notoriously unreliable, but would have been smart to mention. If only to mitigate your comment. lolz

This has been bugging me too. NY is currently in a budget crunch even more than usual. First thing Cuomo looks into? Increasing the gas tax. But as less people use gasoline, state governments need to find the revenue somewhere, and EVs will become a prime target. 

No one is looking at the “elephant in the room” that the EV’s present. When they become more prevalent, there is no way that the Federal and State governments are not going to figure out some way to charge road use tax. It’s just got to happen, and when it does, all of those people screaming about how cheap it is to…

Most sales people can’t answer detailed questions about any of their models. I have never been on a lot shopping where I didn’t know vastly more than the sales person about the car I was looking for. These guys/gals float dealer to dealer and rarely stay up on current/detailed product info. They know a few highlights…

Yeah, I was thinking - Nine?  By then I was a latch-key kid who routinely had a couple hours to my self every day.  By ten, I was staying at home by myself every day during the summer.

My sister at 9 was definitely left watching me at 3. This was '80, '81, and she did it for years. Some kids grow up faster than others because they have to. They shouldn't be underestimated.

I’m Gen-X and was left alone by myself or with another kid my age often so that my mom could work. I was also around 8.
