I have posted this before:

In my off road and overlanding groups the anti-woke people are just mad that people who are not rural white males are getting elected and making laws that do not benefit them. This is causing fear and promoting both anti-woke and election denialism. They are afraid. 

See that in the South too.  They sometimes even have “sugar free” gas (100% gasoline, no ethanol)

IDK but in large cities like Utrecht, Amsterdam and Rotterdam, someone who buys a residential property, is required to live in it themselves for a certain number of years before being allowed to rent it out.
This slows down the issue of converting permanent housing to tourist accomodation a LOT. 

Palm Springs does that, however I can’t imagine the idiot GOP would allow any regulations on STRs, because again, they’re making too much money and don’t care about affordability. Hell, they had a chance to reign in the insane school voucher program that’s bankrupting our state coffers, and despite seeing receipts for…

I wonder what’s less likely: A rudimentary safety structure they implemented when the same thing happened to the Sunshine Skyway Bridge in FL, or the “Make Sure the Ship Isn’t Broken Before it Leaves the Port” bill.

There are only two meaningful points of discourse here:

Arizonan here, it’s amazing how short sighted our state senators and reps are, they have a slight majority and want to own the libs Florida-style. Between the MAGA idiots who’ve lost lawsuit after lawsuit regarding the 2020 and 2022 elections and the god-awful state supreme court that nullifies voter-approved…

The ABC’s of conservatism:

I do the same thing sometimes the pain is totally worth it! Sprinkle a little Tajin and some Chamoy on it and its gone in maybe 15min.

This - I’ve always felt that one beneficial add-on from the conversion to electric would be a big drop in traffic noise. Traffic noise can raise stress levels, particularly in urban environments, which has negative health effects. And it’s just plain annoying and pointless.

Yup. Prepubescent children the lot of them.

I am struggling to see how they would convey emotion even with fake noise for an EV. I do drive an EV and miss the emotion that can be brought by good ICE car but at the end the day, silence is great too

Thank you, Mercedes, and you are absolutely correct. I was on an airplane years ago where the entire rear engine cowling fell off over Colorado. Shit happens. I was held up due to a hydraulic leak on an Airbus on American two weeks ago. This sort of thing happens all-day-everyday, as you said.

I swear I will never get on a Boeing plane again. Ordinary citizens shouldn’t have to worry this much about which manufacturer makes the aircraft we fly on, but I guess that’s just life in America.

I’m disappointed that Brosnan had so little respect for geological features. Did he learn nothing from playing Dr. Harry Dalton, noted volcano expert, in Dante’s Peak (1997)?

They could just fucking skype/teams eachother, like normal people. Needing jets to meet up is so 1980s. It’s just a bonus and bogus excuse for the top level to go around the world and eat fancy dinners and play golf and pretend that’s “work”. 

Why do right wingers never get that one is free to say what they want, the government cannot impression you, BUT you cannot be free of consequences for saying those things in the free market of capitalism and public opinion.

Airliners blow tires all the time. This is not news.

I support the no-fly idea for unruly passengers, as long as it’s handled more competently than the list for terrorists, etc.
