Seriously, I worked on a construction project in Charleston close to the Boeing plant that used some of the same contractors. More than one told me they won't fly after what they saw (and this was pre-scandal).

Reality has become indistinguishable from satire.

It's top down for same reason things are generally left to righ. In the days of ink and paper, you'd end up with a smeared mess - ask a lefty what a pain in the ass that is.

Less of an issue nowadays of course. Still the very idea is a bit nails on a chalkboard to me, but I'm old and wondering if it's a generational thing. Maybe you feel like this since many interfaces push text entry to the bottom?

I'm sorry you haven't experienced good Thanksgiving food.

You forgot the soda bottle.

Synthetic fuels would be great for all the existing stuff, but not sure where you're getting EV sales are down in Europe.

New plug-in car registrations:

BEVs: *212,000 (up 57% year-over-year) and 17% share
PHEVs: *100,000 (up 17% year-over-year) and 8% share
Total: 311,897 (up 42% year-over-year) and 25% share

Best of luck! Don't get discouraged if things backslide a bit, happens all the time, but they'll get it eventually.

The highway manual manual is based off gut feelings and little else. Why 80%, where did that come from? How is the currently set speed limit impacting the survey? If you go to a speed trap town by the highway, you'd say the speed limit is dead on, as no one speeds since they know its a trap.

Roads should be designed for the speed you want, and not the other way around. Your last paragraph is dead on. Real solutions look like this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bglWCuCMSWc

Having worked for UPS in the past, these guys definitely earn it. Long days, boiling hot or freezing cold, and wrecking their bodies the entire time.

This would be terribly abused. Imagine who Republicans would shoehorn in there based off their Supreme Court picks...

For real. Cemeteries are such a waste of resources.

I lusted after these when I was a kid, and eventually blew all my saved up Christmas/Birthday money on one.

The battery thing really sucked, but still had a lot of fun with it. Must of played that first level of Sonic 2 a thousand times.

My white whale was the TV tuner, I thought the idea was so cool as a kid.
