Checks notes, you sir are southern approved. Couple of additions, when we say sweet tea we MEAN sweet tea, it’s roughly between 70/30 to 50/50 sugar to tea, it IS trying to give you the diabetus. For Mexican food, the sketchier the place looks, the better, if you see a bunch of landscaping or construction crews there,…

I wondered about that, cause if your flight is that bumpy, I’d guess the ‘seatbelt ON’ sign would be constantly illuminated. And even if it weren’t, just in the interest of self-preservation, I’d have mine on for that reason.

after experiencing over four hours of turbulence following its departure from Madrid

It’s not really a left or right issue NEITHER party care.  You don’t see either party standing up demanding something like random inspections of mines in the DRC.  As with pretty much all mining, no one wants it near them and would prefer it’s in brown countries where they don’t have to see it.

Do you really think a super-rich entitled autistic white South African dude who grew up during the apartheid era and who’s family wealth came from mining really gives a darn about the black kids doing his work? Really?

Tesla is expected to report a 6% drop in April-June quarter vehicle deliveries on Tuesday, the first time the U.S. firm is set to post two straight quarters of decline, as it deals with stiff competition in China and slow demand due to a lack of affordable new models.

Of course they don’t care. The real cost of things is too expensive for the capitalists.Let them eat cobalt.

Tesla: “cut output of its best-selling Model Y electric car by a double-digit percentage number at its Shanghai plant since March to address weakening demand for its aged models”

Taking two weeks recovering from cyberattacks is nothing to be proud of, so CDK better not puff their chest out too much for how they handled this crisis.

Oh it’s not just a smoker, if you see a Mexican food truck you are in for a good time.  Also just in general you can get a LOT of awesome food at mom and pop non chain gas stations in the south.  

Elaborate? I think I get it but I know I don’t! Are we talking meat? That would be fucking awesome.

Don’t know how anyone could be that inattentive to get that far down...unless they thought they were somehow materializing from the past on to those tracks.

ROFL! How dead at the wheel do you need to be to allow the car to drive itself THAT FAR down the VERY BUMPY train tracks? That is an *impressive* level of stupidity for both Tesla and this driver.

I drove much of I-20 moving cross-country. Why would you intentionally stop more than once between Shreveport and Birmingham (450 miles)?

I tell this story all the time.

Buc-ee’s.

Jack in the Box is definitely a No-Go for a road trip.

South of the Border in SC.

Any gas station within half a mile of an interstate highway in the south. The incessant smell of pee, pot and gasoline, the humid stickiness of everything you touch, the questionable characters hanging out in the energy-drink bottle littered parking lot, and the cashier barricaded behind milky plexiglass selling lotto…

I am going to say a family member’s house. You’re doing it to be nice because you haven’t seen them in a while or it’s just convenient to visit, maybe for a free place to stay. But they are going to either irritate you or want to talk for way too long and throw off your schedule.
