I've contemplated buying a bike, Harleys start at double what you'd pay for an equivalent Honda. You can crank two hogs for the price of one.

The closer you get to the end of the month, the worse the line will be at the inspection station (in my experience)

Prior to the ship hitting the support column, you can see it lose power, then regain power, then thick smoke starts billowing out the top, then it loses power again, and regains power again seconds before contact.

Could the bridge have been engineered to be strong enough to survive an impact by a >100k ton ship? Maybe, but it seems like better backup and emergency systems on these huge ships might be a more practical idea. Obviously we are still very light on information.

Not trying to dox myself, but this is in my neck of the woods and I can confirm there was a substantial protest the last time it happened. Several main streets in the area were shut down and I expect that to happen again next week.

Apparently Angela Chao's Tesla recorded audio inside the vehicle during the incident and it was just leaked. Listen here before it gets taken down.

I have a very hard time understanding people who live in the city or suburbs and enthusiastically engage in anti-social behavior in general. Housing is literally half the price if you drive 30-40 minutes away, why are you here if you can't interact with other humans in a non-aggressive manner?

For me it's people who cover half their yard with "don't let your dog poop/pee/walk/breathe on my lawn" and "you're on camera" signs. If you didn't want that happening, you probably shouldn't have purchased a home in the suburbs. What are you going to do if my dog does pee on your lawn? Call the cops? I'm sure they will be thrilled to respond to that call. At the same time, fuck people who don't clean up their dog's shit (or bag it and just leave it there). Totally reasonable to get mad about that, but my senior dog is going to piss like 20 times on a walk and you're going to have to deal with three drops on your precious Kentucky bluegrass.

Driving the news: More than 45,000 Minnesota's Democratic primary voters — close to 19% of the electorate — backed "uncommitted" on Tuesday.

Some fear a failure to win those voters back could hurt the president's chances in November, including in Minnesota, which former President Trump came within 45,000 votes of flipping in 2016.

TFW you commit to finishing a task for a event, but suddenly the event is rapidly approaching and you really don't feel like finishing the task which is now partially completed, but you're not sure if your disappointment over not finishing the task in time for the event will be worse than just expending the energy to finish it and being exhausted
