@Mik and they can be kinder (unless it comes to food, of course).

Jon would tap that…

It might be older, but you can find a base manual Miata (which is probably what you want) with 70-80,000 miles for eight thousand, give or take. Then you have the cost of the kit.

I'd wear a base jumping parachute so I could bail out by just unbuckling and jumping, if need be lol.

@Copper said in Swatted!: Because trans people are so nice and not weird or all messed up idiots at all Well, you know what they say: Like calls to like.

People can be so stupid, trying to make a statement with a child’s name. Stupid names matter

@89th said in Public Libraries ...: You should also know there are many, many books in the kids section that are focused on lesbian, gay, and trans subjects. Like, a surprising amount. Yeah, recently read a news article about a town voting to defund its only public library because the staff refused to remove LGBTQ titles from the library: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2022/08/26/patmos-library-jamestown-close-lgbt-book-ban/7906130001/

Very enjoyable Sunday afternoon listen. I love slide guitar. I'll have to check out more of his work.

@Horace said in Interesting long view of inflation by category: I wonder if college textbooks are the perfect microcosm of the non-market-forces involved in higher education costs. Textbooks are their own thing. Obligatory purchase with a side of principal/agent problem. Higher Ed has other forces involved

Live in the Quarter? Moi? Merci! Non!

@George-K said in Ford raises prices (again): electric pickup truck, the F-150 Lightning https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/ford-f150-lightning-electric-truck-towing-test/ With the largest available battery pack, a fully charged 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning electric truck has less energy onboard than a regular F-150 with four gallons of gas in its tank. We performed our testing with the top-shelf $92,669 Platinum trim (full test at this link), which includes the larger battery and has a standard towing capacity of 7,700 pounds. The Max Trailer Tow upgrade, which wasn't equipped on our test truck, raises that to 8,500 pounds. With only a driver aboard and no trailer in tow, the Platinum achieved a MotorTrend Road-Trip Range of 255 miles. We had been warned to expect the range to be cut in half when towing, but the effect of towing these travel trailers proved even more significant. With the smallest and lightest trailer, we measured a range of just 115 miles. That figure fell to 100 miles with the middleweight camper and sank to a mere 90 miles with the 7,218-pound Grand Design trailer. 90 miles range at full towing capacity, 90 miles! For $92,669 you get 90 miles hahahahahahahahahahahahah

Rude. He's supposed to shit in the woods.

That's a very good question.

The whole podcast is here. It’s a very wide-ranging conversation, not just about 2019-20. https://www.honestlypod.com/podcast/episode/efe9505d/bill-barr-calls-bullsht
