I have an EV6 and love it.

It’s not going to be over until one of them concedes which isn’t likely to happen quickly. So I’ll relax after Christmas.

They are the reason the Soviet Union was a near peer to the USA during the cold war. When the Soviet Union lost Ukraine they lost their engineering and manufacturing sectors.

Heck up until the Russian invasion of Crimea in 2014, Ukraine was the one servicing all of Russia’s nukes.

My stove has been blinking 00:00 for as long as I can remember. Lost power briefly about 6 months after I moved in and I never reset the clock.

I work in the event industry as a production manager, I get to write these things.

As is typical when you have a large crew there will be dietary restrictions, some of them can be deadly. So before me or any of my crew starts unloading the truck I need to have a cold Dr. Pepper in my hand. If I don’t, we doordash, we do not eat the food provided.

I always say everyone should see requiem for a dream, but no one should watch it. That film does more for stopping drug abuse than any government program ever did.

They certainly do, I got mine last year. Once the supply chain sorted itself out it went back to normal.

I always recommend getting a lightly used car, preferably one that came off lease. It will still have all the warranty, be fairly up to date on safety / features, and be half the price or less of a new car.

The only reason I have ever condoned buying a new car, is if it’s at the end year and they are clearing inventory, or if it’s new old stock. If you find a 2023 model car on the lot in January of 2024 the amount of discounts to get that car off lot will be insane. I got a car that was retailing at $45k+ earlier in the year for just under $30k. They were trying to clear inventory, because the next day they were getting their shipment in of the next year’s model.

This is the same AG who says he wants more teen pregnancies.

I setup and run events. Nothing particularly messy, but very sweaty. On setup days I can do a half marathon just by moving equipment to where it needs to go.

I’m not smart, but as I understand it, states sue Google, case goes into discovery, Google gives up it’s evidence, states refuse to give up theirs, judge forces states to give up their evidence so discovery can continue. Although I do not agree with Google as far as the case goes (antitrust over google ads) this seems like it’s following SOP and shouldn’t be news.
