Yeah and while the dealer network of major brands can be scummy, it also comes with pretty good parts networks, which Tesla still seems to lack, or actively impede.

That’s offensive to magnets.

We can only hope, but polling shows him hurting Biden slightly more than Trump.

So make sure any of your acquaintances that might be on the fence about Biden know that Robby’s biggest donor is also one of Trumps bigger donors as well. It ties the wholes together even tighter.

2000 part 3. I’m still so disappointed in Ralph over that election. (And the Supreme Court)

That sounds remarkably like my brother’s wife’s family.

Her dad has some kind of problem swallowing chewy foods and has repeatedly nearly choked to death eating steak alone. He knows, laughs about how close to dying he was, then does it again a few months later. His wife and kids laugh about it too and never tell him to stop. They seem to have no concept of saving or planning for the future either for instance.

I feel bad because my niece seems to be a bit behind in development too now, even though our family is all college educated (even 3 of my grandparents all born before 1920 went to actual college). My brothers a civil engineer, so hopefully that offsets some of the seriously dumb genes in the other half of her dna.

Like tip to tip? No thanks.

The sounds are great too, I love crunchy snow and the silence during a heavy windless snowfall.

Plus lack of mosquitoes and ticks can’t be forgotten.

Drive controls too, no swipe for reverse bullshit.

You could try negotiating regular pay raises, start with a match and require 5% per year after that.

Michigander here, Toledo is an actual slice of Michigan, but Ohio can keep it.

Cedar Point is pretty awesome though.

I’ve lived within a couple hours drive (or less) from the Canadian border my whole life and the winters are really nice. If you bundle up and keep skin protected it’s much better than being hot in the summer IMO.

The last 10 years have really changed though. Much less, and later snows, and much warmer melts in between storms. It’s taking away a lot of the beauty of winter and replacing it with mud much of the time.

It makes me want to go up to Alaska or northern Canada, or Norway to recapture winters of my childhood. At least while they last.
