Until the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation stops, plunging Ireland's temperatures by an average of 15°

The proprietary software and specialized components going into EVs are making it so only dealers can repair them, so I'm not surprised. Have you checked out all the Chevy dealerships in and around Austin? If you had a bad experience at Autonation, might try a different one

At the beginning of August, you could get 84 rubles for $1, today you can get 91 rubles for $1. It's certainly not "cratering" per that hyperbolic headline, but it's not an insignificant change, especially since the exchange rate had otherwise been on a downward trend since April.

"For example workplace harassment by women towards males like touching or groping being ignored"

This is absolutely not a double standard in society in most workplaces. I've never encountered an HR department that wouldn't take this extremely seriously. I'm not saying those HR depts don't exist, but they're certainly not the norm

You're definitely not wrong. If she's willing to undermine or criticize your clothes preference after you've already told her why you like them and you don't want to change, what else is she willing to undermine?

My wife: "Let me know when you're done sucking John Williams's dick."

Me: "I have bad news for you."

Yeah that Chicxulub asteroid was a doozy. Humanity doesn't quite have the technology yet to cause that level of devastation. There's always a focus on the species that are going extinct (and rightly so), but simultaneously there are species that are thriving and will continue to do so long after we're gone.

"BMW sold more EVs in Europe than Tesla last month, the first month any company beat Tesla."

You: "But what about the months before that?!"

If water had no polarity, life as we know it could not exist, so the mess in your apt would be the least of your troubles

Storm related blackouts are due to downed power lines largely in the last mile of delivery, not a shortage of available electricity. A battery installation in your neighborhood won't help when the lines in your neighborhood are down.

That said, Texas's low barrier to entry has enabled more small scale solar PV and battery installations I think than any other state, and they're rapidly building them out.

The fact that she didn't have to face a primary this year is a political gift. She didn't have to go.on record while jockeying to differentiate herself and the instant unanimous support from the entire Democratic party means she can just be herself
