Lol, that wasnt for lack of trying… Trump decreed a whole fuckton of stuff that various staffs and agencies had to low key backpedal on. Dude was publishing major policy on Twitter on a fucking whim every other day…
And assuming you aren’t military, WE are the militia… The gaggle of “randos”… We aren’t charged with defending the US from invaders, the military is (and I was, and did). We, the militia, are charged with keeping the free state intact and secure.
Our purpose, as “a well regulated militia”, is to show our asses up under arms if something like Jan 6th actually succeeds. All the “randos”… That’s the whole point :)
Dems should be buying a shitload of guns right now, specifically because trump… He’s already shown the capacity to threaten the free state, he’s the first in a damned long time, and we, the “randos”, should be as ready as we can… That, as far as I’m concerned, is a damned good reason for randos to have guns (especially Dem randos)

Don’t be scared… Dont let anyone tell you that voting for Kennedy splits the trump hotel and is really a vote for Biden (or the opposite…)
Google what’s gonna be on your ballot, read the wiki for all of em, and simply mark your ballot with whatever the best option is for you. Not what’s most likely to be a “win vote”, not whatever is most “gamesmanship” friendly for your state.
Your voice, your choice, simply tell them what the best option on the list is. Your own personal big boy/girl/whatever voiced opinion of the best candidate.

No… That means you hit the proverbial glass ceiling at 5 years. It means you contractually cannot be valued any higher past the 5 year mark…
Why the hell would you stay? On your 5th anniversary, your options to progress any further are all elsewhere…
Do you seriously expect that you’ll be valued the same as someone with decades of experience? No… That’s not what they’re doing… They’re valuing decades of experience at the 5 year mark… I’m saying they just removed the ability to trade the Honda in for a Lambo…
Their point has validity on any scale though… I’m generally not a fan of “zero tolerance” in any context, but the context here is ostensibly an intentionally equalized playing field, meaning that a zero tolerance policy on any aspect is inherently fair… So there’s really no excuse for accepting environmental hazards…
The assertion that allowance of additives (any additives that pose environmental/spectator hazards) has no benefit other than “car go fast”, is a solid point.
How about don’t know if it’s legal to be on the books in the first place? You can’t restrict interstate travel of a citizen… how is this not a very simple matter of challenging this as simply unconstitutional based on freedom of movement?
A big sticking point in contract talks between Detroit automakers and the United Auto Workers union is the popular assertion that it takes fewer workers to manufacture electric vehicles (EVs) than conventional cars.
There’s a huge amount of shit between the lines here…
For one, that labor isn’t going to be the purview of the union friendly grease monkeys. It’s going to be the purview of nerdy science club motherfuckers that likely won’t be the union type.
Much of the tooling is useless. Much of the skillset is useless. The writing is on the wall for those unions, an electric car is nothing like an ice car.
I early adopted on a zero motorcycle, and ended up with enough prototype/first year glitches that I only got 8k miles out of the bike before the company bought back all the 2012 bikes, but that was long enough to understand how entirely unlike a traditional vehicle the thing was. I’d get routine emails from the dealer offering oil changes on a bike with no oil, I’d look around the bike to figure out if there actually was any sort of routine maintenance (and came up with zero, to strike a pun). And when I did need help with registering a new sensor to the motor, that I’d replaced myself because I couldn’t find any sort of shop that would do it, the dealer spent two hours trying to sort out how to get the bike online, failed, and declared that they were no longer a zero dealer and wouldn’t support the bike they’d sold me.
The current gas vehicle infrastructure is completely unprepared, unsuited, unwilling, and incapable of supporting an EV. You’d probably have better luck with the dude at the little kiosk that offers cell phone repair, literally…
The article describes a gaggle of dinosaurs looking up to the sky at a meteor that’s about to wreck their shit completely. They’re going extinct and all this nonsense is bullshit about how they’ll be fine.
There might be an alligator or a horseshoe crab out there that’ll make the transition, but I bet it ain’t gonna be anyone referenced here :)
I’m of the opinion that the computer/electronics nerd community is probably more suited to adding seats, doors, and climate control than the car building community is to adding battery arrays, BMS, and all the other gizmos and gadgets…
I understand what you mean, but I’m speaking more to the infrastructure. The infrastructure of the phone repair kiosk guy is closer to EVs than Detroit is. It’s mindset, ya know? It’s sending an email every 3 months offering oil changes vs knowing that the “gas station” of the future should include tables, chairs, snacks, and overpriced coffee ;)
The livewire is a great example of what I mean… its like it was built to support the service department more than the rider. It’s got a transmission full of fluid that needs serviced that only has one gear. It’s got a service required coolant system that other electrics don’t have. It has requirements to visit the shop baked into the design, and it’s silly. As soon as they parted from HD, the bike radically changed, because gearheads aren’t calling the shots anymore. The bike has 10% of the service requirements at half the cost, because nerds (and I mean that endearingly… Im a nerd that turned gearhead, ironically) are designing them now :)
