I’m your huckleberry. Um, wait. Maybe not. Just pass me that laudanum bottle.

An often forgotten artifact of that era is that the electoral limbo provided cover for the manufactured California energy crisis (price gouging) that threw many municipalities into financial chaos.  That budget crunch never went away, and subsequent economic calamities just piled on the cuts to social services and…

Yeah, the idea that since it’s all “electric” nothing will break is just silly. I look at the current generation of EV’s like the first generation of color TV’s - Amazing new technology that changes the world, but still in its infancy. Being a TV repairman in the 60's & 70's was a great moneymaker, but the job…

“SHUT THEM AAAAALL DOWN!!!”

There is a “new” action-thriller movie with Bob fuckin’ Odenkirk (!) in the Liam Neeson role that is being released this month. How long has that thing been in the can? We are going to be seeing some bottom-of-the-barrel crap for much of 2021.

Plugging in an EV in your garage is much simpler than filling a gas tank from a pump at a service station. People have done pretty well pumping their own gas for quite some time now, so expecting them to be able to adapt to the plug-in life isn’t a stretch. Expecting them to dump a couple grand on something that does…

If she had been quicker with the rubber, she might not have a daughter at all.

She supposedly speaks 5 languages, but has nothing worthwhile to say in any of them. She studied “fashion and design” in a poor communist country, and has the personal style to prove it. She married a mobnster. If her picture belongs anywhere, it’s the cover of The National Enquirer.

You may not live in Delaware, but you are probably incorporated there.  Delaware is the Cayman Islands of the US.  It exists to shelter corporations.

The Greatest American Hero has a similar problem.  It’s really egregious in the episode titled “My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys” when they can’t use the song that was all over the original airing.

Yeah. Pickle all that China & Florida crazy in a dozen liters of bathtub vodka and then you start getting to Russia crazy.

I’m more concerned that we’re going to be laying a shit-ton of super high current wiring all over the place, only to move on to something else a decade later. Thinking about those towns in the northeast US with century old gas lines rupturing.

One of the things I’ve never quite understood about autonomous vehicles is that the feature is being included on cars you actually want to drive yourself. Why would I pay 80k+ for a car that I’m kinda not supposed to drive?  Is that really a selling point?

Kirkey + 5 point + HANS or GTFO

I’d bet that the majority of the readers here grew up without riding in a car seat or on a booster seat. Most of us lived.

My response to Toobin is the same I had for Charlie Rose - lay off the hormones!  Dudes in their 60's & 70's should not be so horny all the time that they can’t resist whipping it out.

You could park it in 1976 because there were 100 million fewer people in the country than there is now, and everyone didn’t own multiple cars & trucks. There was always a spot.

4th Gear:

Put a dollar in Rudy’s pocket and his phone might butt-dial a journalist so they can listen to his live security consultin’ action.

Wasn’t saying it was the worst part, just an additional “feature” that further illustrates the misery involved in the enterprise. Investors may be turned on by the fact their scam involves exploiting people with no other recourse in life but to drive their car into the ground.
