Nope, if there's no incentive to grow them, then you can't buy them, and that's assuming the farms survive the squeeze.

There's also "Q" and "RSBN", that simple pillow merchant is BASED.

So Berserkly wants to kill their power grid all year long now?

1.7 cents a mile, so just over 10 miles to a gallon gets you that 18 cents, this is pretty much a sneaky way to nearly quadruple the tax, based upon the presented fuel economy demands AND help the police state.

A lot of companies figured out how to get away with closing plants purely because a union was there which removes a LOT of bargaining power. Perfect example is Rubbermaid, they only have two plants left in the US, and they were the only ones that didn't have unions.

Head of our Teamsters local is friends with my boss, and got pissed when I put forward a grievance because management was doing OUR JOB so they wouldn't have to pay OT, when they were also purposely having us do things slower than we were supposed to do them which led to the potential OT.

I don't like doing that either, but if you're going to tell me to my face that the contract does not matter, I'm going to metaphorically beat you about the head with it.

It's almost as if the real time for "unity and healing" was four fucking years ago.

Man, it's almost as if I worded my comment that way having spotted the potential typo by OP. /s

Except there is a common phrase with couples "out on his/her ass" meaning end the relationship and revoke the person's right to live there, knowing this and still inferring malicious intent is itself a malicious act.

while the entire package will be twice the size of the last one...

You know, I have a thing for redheads, and I still wouldn't go near that with a ten foot pole.

As a continuation of that: Due to the way the ranking system works, Braasch was about to be ranked around 350 the foilowing week, and asked if they wanted to do it again, they declined.

Can we get that to stretch up to Ohio?

Not for Hunter though.

That's a good assumption, since Capital Gains has three tiers, 0%, 15%, and 20%, so this also probably includes state and/or local taxes as well.

Pretty sure Komissars are Soviet, so it'd be NYET! instead...

I remember the breakeven point being closer to ten years than five, and how much is that battery going to cost, while a new ICE for a daily commuter is still only a couple grand?

I'm firmly of the belief that if we were forced to have a future without gasoline because of actual scarcity, then the answer is hydrogen fuel cells. They still run on an ICE, so you still get that wonderful sound. They're just as dangerous as rare earth batteries in a collision if ruptured, so that's a push. You fuel them pretty much the same way you would a gasoline powered ICE, so you don't artificially create towns to provide labor to an archaic logistical support system. In fact the logistics for it are pretty much already in place, you just need to put another holding tank at current gas stations and as many dedicated pumps as required, just like diesel.

I'm pretty sure the state house started impeachment on him months ago, but I haven't heard anything since, and I can't wait for it to happen.

I can say there are a few Teslas where I live in NE Ohio, but I've only seen one out once when there was snow on the roads, which means they really only fit the daily commuter aspect, and to virtue signal.

Ah yes, the batteries, materials mined in Canada/China, refined in Europe, assembled in Japan/Korea/China, and sold in the United States, and we're supposed to believe this creates a *small *carbon footprint when we buy it.

I've actually managed to get through to one of my coworkers using a similar argument, that you would effectively have a recreation of the rail systems from the turn of the 20th century. Since these cars have a limited range, and such a long recharge time, you'd have to some sort of recharge station, and things to do around them just to kill time. Or to put it simply, the current Cannonball record is 25 hours 39 minutes, with all the required stop time from electric vehicles, how many days will it take to go coast to coast?

We always were.

I still say that mecha was far too TAU to sit right.

Looks like you got to the Hot Chocolate before I got here.
