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.

Bullshit. Why try to cover for their inability to govern? It's gonna suck, but if these people keep getting elected it will continue to suck for a long time. I'm all for a schism splitting off the radical right.

It's their house, and it's going to be a shitshow, but people voted for this. Maybe it'll make the party implode, or at least a few reconsider it next time out of embarrassment.

I remember seeing $5/gal under Bush. His last year had an average of $3.30 and peaked over $4... https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/gasoline-prices-fared-under-last-190000869.html

These go on sale at Michael's all the time. I like using these for electronic components, very handy to keep little parts organized. Think they're a little tight for most cables, I like plastic shoe boxes for those.

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

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.

Holy shit, me too. Kinda fitting I suppose.

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