The New Coffee Room

He loves taxing Americans. Makes Mamdani look like Milton Friedman in comparison.

Shocking that 4 states have zero. I would have guessed only Wyoming.

Number of cities over 100k per state.

All for a car I specifically didn’t request.

Yep. It stopped charging at 75%. It was 73% by the time I got to Avis.

I may well get hit with their exorbitant refill fee anyway.

Literally never again will I accept one of these.

My charging cost was reasonable. But it finished charging around 10 and charged me an ‘idle fee’ which was more on an hourly basis than the charging fee.

I doubt I would have paid $50 had I returned it half full.

Yep.

Dayum.

I think Realplayer has one.

Turns out there’s a slow charger at my hotel. It’ll be full by the time I leave at 5am.

I did come up with it independently but immediately thought it must have been used many times as it’s so obvious.

From his lips to gods ears.

Of course there’s such a thing as ‘too good’ - for example, they could say that they’ll give conditional approval for rare disease treatments based on safety alone and let efficacy be proven in a P4 (post marketing) study. That sounds awesome, but the reality is insurance companies wouldn’t approve it considering it ‘experimental’.

What I’d like to see is them allow more flexibility with approvals based on biomarkers rather than clinical outcomes which can take much more time to demonstrate in some diseases.

Fucking hell. I get back the car and it had only charged from 23% to 46% in 41 minutes.

That’ll tie me over until I leave tomorrow morning, but I’ll still pay an exorbitant fee upon return.

Second rental of an EV. Against my will. I reserved a standard car. They gave me a Ford Mach E (mustang branded).

Probably trying to get rid of it, as I was renting in LA and returning in Sandy Eggo.

It drives well and more like a regular car than the Tesla with the auto-brake like regeneration. I had no issues finding stuff but the boy was in the car with me so I could ask him to figure out the defroster or whatever.

Couldn’t avoid a charge though. As I write this I’m at a Starbucks as the ‘fast charger’ charges my car for the next 30-40m. I still think these are only acceptable if you have a charger in your garage and never drive out of range.

Keep waiting for Trump to post about this. I need to drink some sweet maga tears this morning.

The three liberal justices did not sign on to the part discussing major questions doctrine, but nor did they specifically reject it. They just said it could be decided on statutory interpretation alone.

Guy coerces 100+ underage girls to send him nude photos and videos. One was a 12 year old who had a five year old sister. When he found out about the sister he coerced the 12 year old to have her join in the videos too.

It turns out, according to the Supreme Court, that the president does NOT have the authority to raise tariffs on other countries because he didn't like a television commercial, or because he didn't like the tone of a foreign leader.
