I have a friend like that. He didn’t vote for Harris because she “has an annoying voice.” When I remark how trump is turning this country into a fascist nightmare, he say “I don’t care about that political shit.” …and then he bitches about how hard is to get an appointment at the VA, how little his tax return is, and how much gas costs suddenly.

Ah yes, Schrödinger’s war.
It’s both a war, and a non-war “military operation,” depending upon what’s most convenient for the Republicans.

I have a 5 and I love it, but if I hadn’t needed a vehicle with the ability to haul large cargo (lumber, furniture, big boxes), I’d definitely have picked up the 6. It’s got a sort of Citroën-meets-Porsche vibe.

Man, I still remember my old dial-up BBS handle.

She didn’t win. Has the genocide stopped?

I remember when these were in stores. I saved the neon can, thinking it might be worth something someday, since the word “SEX” was “hidden” in the neon art.

I think I still have it in a box somewhere.

but don’t start with The Original Series

Hard disagree. Unless you’re 12.

Worthy mentions: The Orville, Andromeda.

Oh. Maybe you are 12.

The US company I work for is a massive multinational manufacturing corporation with factories all over the world, including Spain. What the fuck are supposed to do, cut ties with our own facilities, because the orange pig is throwing a tantrum?

Imagine having a gas station at home in your garage (assuming you own a house). Every time you’re home and your car is sitting in the garage (which is most of the time for most people), the “gas station” is slowly feeding “gas” into your car. You never even have to go to a real gas station, except on long trips (200+ miles).

I plug my EV in at home on the weekends. It charges overnight. Monday, I drive it to work (30 miles) and if there’s a charger available there, I charge it up for free. Over the 8 hours I work, the car charges up enough to refill both the trip to work plus enough for the trip home. If all I’m doing is to/from work, I don’t even have to plug in at home on weekdays.

I barely pay for fuel at all. I never have to stand at a gas pump in the freezing cold.

If I’m ever running low on charge (rare) I can find a charging station OR use the emergency plug-in charger & extension cord I keep in my frunk at any available outlet anywhere in the country. I’ve never had to use it, but I have it.

For me, an EV was the best option. I’ll never go back to an IC car.

As if he really gives a shit about Barron.

the regime right now is so cartoonishly evil

Not sure if you mean the regime in Iran or USA.
