I don’t think we have starved the government in America. The problem is our government is massively inefficient.

Dumb question. US cities have a ton of sprawl. I grew up in DC and there are people that commute from 50+ miles away every day there and that’s not uncommon for US cities.

If you look at cities with seriously high population densities, you see this

A LOT of “radiation sickness” is actually poisoning. Most radioactive elements are heavy metals. Just like Arsenic, Lead, and the like, heavy metals are almost always nasty to humans and animals.  If you look back at the Atomic Bombings in Japan, the victims breathed in a LOT of heavy metals and drank water that was…

There’s radiation and there is contaimination

3rd gear: Someone that knows morse code should be watching they eyes of the happy employees that have had their feelings hurt for being described as slaves.

I’ll tell you someone that would do well when coming out of a bunker. This woman

Here’s the rub. I don’t know if they CAN put away years of food. I saw a thing (Smarter Every Day?) where it showed how subs are before they go out to sea. Every available corner is packed the gills with food of every type for a couple month cruise. Food takes up a LOT of space.

The big thing that I’ve learned is contentment. Life never turns out the way you hope and plan. Sometimes it turns out better. I was extremely single for years. Unpopular in high school, too scared of rejection to enter a relationship in college, and a hermit out of college that played video games and drove a slow car…

If we have had a major nuclear war and any city bigger than Athens (whichever state you pick) is a crater, FEMA won’t be able to handle the load. Especially without direction and funding from DC, which would likely to have been hit multiple times.

I work in the nuclear power industry. I’ve had training on radiation effects and dangers.

This isn’t an uncommon thing.  I rented from someone (may have been Hertz) and got an e-mail telling me that I could buy my rental car about 10 minutes before I turned it in.  I’ve gotten e-mail from enterprise, Hertz and Avis asking about if I was interested in buying a used car from them.  It’s been a hard pass each…

I’ve been forced to do slow car fast my entire life. Right out of college, I didn’t have a great paying job, drove crap cans, and double or triple paid the college loan to pay it off quickly. 5 years after college, I had paid off the college loan, got a decent car (used 240 SX) that was still “slow car fast” but…

I fully understand this. I watch a lot of British TV and do like the British cop car markings (posted by someone else already).

I also have to admit that I’m not far from being a guy showing a car in a bass pro parking lot. I’ve got the cargo shorts, I’ve got the grey beard, I’ve got the long-winded ability to hyperfocus on minute details. Only think holding me back is my back account indicates collecting Nissan Versas instead of even C4s.

Somewhere in Tesla world, there is an engineer with 3 bosses being asked about this recall.

Admittedly, the C8 is a different breed. We have a family friend that does the Corvette Show thing with a C4 and a C6. The stars of the show are C2s and the rare C1s. C3s that are bone stock (like another friend with a restored 68) also attract the eye. But so far, the mid engine C8 doesn’t seem to fit into the show…

I found the one that named this vehicle. He’s pissed and will likely have significant additions to the employee comment box.

First off, this story reminds me of a Disney movie I watched as a kid. But with a lot less depression, crying and therapy.

He’s 6'4" and I’m 6'2". He’s also 220 lbs and I’m 160. Just Ask Joe Isuzu.
