Diesel is in a crisis and the regime is floundering. You may not roll on diesel, but almost everything you buy does.

Diesel prices are a huge problem and it’s going to get worse the longer it’s like this.

I read yesterday that her boyfriend got life with the possibility of parole for the same crime. He was 17. I know our justice system isn’t a precision machine and two trials are likely to vary wildly in procedure and outcome. But still… that’s got so sting.

opening the door won’t improve that situation very much.

Competition from Japanese car manufacturers was the best thing that ever happened to American car buyers. Even if you’ve never owned a foreign car, the domestic car you drove was better because of it.

Hamburger helper is bullshit. They give you some dry noodles and a “spice” pack of dubious powder, you have to provide the beef and milk. That’s not helping very much.

Terrorist is an identity, not an action.

You can blow up hospitals and schools if you’re wearing a uniform and flying a sexy jet. Terrorist is someone who wears a “Free Palestine” T-shirt, or gets born in Gaza.

Terrorism doesn’t have a coherent definition because every State is a sponsor and every military is perpetrator.

The police kill an average of 3 American citizens every day. No weekends, no holidays. https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/investigations/police-shootings-database/

ICE are obviously more violent, stupid, and incompetent than your neighborhood Jake. I’m saying that Jake is more competitive than you might think.

You Western chauvinists love to talk up feminism, as though you’re not the very people who’ve been opposed to it the whole time.

In America, the no1 cause of death for pregnant people is homicide. And for every 100 rapes reported to the police, 3 people on average will catch charges. You see the West is full of primitive men who only respect their battered and raped women inside Islamophobic fantasies. They hate women in large part because of an ancient and loose confederation of primitive cults collectively called Christianity.

I’m in the market for a new e-reader and this is attractive even in the elusive price category.

Technical Collage isn’t quite as good, but it’s free if you live in State.

The LAPD isn’t a credible source.

just want to remind you that people in wingsuits also wear parachutes. There are multiple levels of failure here.

I support people who like dangerous sports. Except for gun ownership. That’s shit is so stupid dangerous and reckless you don’t have to participate to be killed.

depreciation per mile is usually a bigger cost than fuel.

OK, this might be something that a fleet manager would care about, but the average driver wouldn’t consider in a hundred years. You don’t have to swipe your card and pay for depreciation every four days. Not to mention that depreciation has no bearing on vehicle type and little connection to physical reality at all.

And if anything, EVs maintenance is lower than expectations. There is no robust recycling of EV batteries for instance because it turns out that the batteries last reliably for 30 years and most of the ones produced are still in service. Also EVs are by nature simpler, with many components being solid state. ICE are rube goldberg masterpieces, the result of decades of continuous development.

The quotation marks bother me.

We should quietly celebrate when MAGA gets hung up on the symbolic. Celebrate because they’re not doing any actual harm, and quietly so as not to interrupt them.

To be fair, Canada is looking to “join” the EU, Turkey is already a member. What is Europe anyway?

you’re not at war with

Even in your own definition, you have to make a cut-out so that terrorism is OK when army guys do it. Again, you’re drawing a distinction from identity, not action.
