24% of new vehicle registrations in China (right now) are electric vehicles. Is that “real” enough for you? https://insideevs.com/news/665891/china-plugin-car-sales-march2023/amp/ Doesn’t take too much imagination to see that number increasing to 75-80% relatively quickly (and expanding to...

Man, I knew you guys were old, but I didn’t think you were this old. You don’t think you’ll be alive in 15-20 years? (Tesla’s sedan began production in 2012, only 11 years ago & look how far we have come since then)

Part of being a Mets fan is dealing with disappointment. After a while, it becomes easy.

Yeah, that’s a different thing. I looked into this (because when I was driving around Portugal, Google would tell me that my route was going through a low emission area and I didn’t know what they were talking about). Apparently, they have some areas that you are not allowed to drive old cars...

One of the holes borders the Playboy mansion. You could hear the peacocks squawking on the broadcast the other day.

Nobody is scolding, where are you getting that?

Bigger trucks are more likely to kill pedestrians than smaller cars (over & above the weight & sightline issue): From: https://smartgrowthamerica.org/bigger-vehicles-are-directly-resulting-in-more-deaths-of-people-walking/ See also...

Yes. But it’s not really the size of the vehicle, so much as the sight lines: And yeah, that’s what I’m saying. There is a pervasive attitude of “I’m gonna do this shit & you can’t stop me. Get the fuck out of my way” Like, we have finally gotten to the point where (most of) these guys have...

Yeah, I think he’s saying that it’s a free country & people are free to make their individual choices, but one of the consequences of those choices is increasing (preventable) deaths. How about a graph? So much of today’s society is the “roll coal-ification” of America: (From...

Schauffle & Ricky with 62s today?! Wow

I wanted to buy a Ford Maverick, but I couldn’t get my hands on one so I had to buy a stupid Subaru as a bridge vehicle until I get something electric.

Sweet. Might put in the $152 for the preorder: https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/13/23757902/telo-truck-electric-pickup-annoucement

Yeah, FTC already talking about antitrust stuff.

Telluride has similar deed restrictions on some houses. Doesn’t seem to have helped with affordability: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/450-San-Miguel-Rdg-7-Telluride-CO-81435/2057563550_zpid/

Probably about the same as striking up new friendships in English. Sure, I’d prefer to move somewhere where I know people, but those places seem very expensive.

Seems like you have already done the one that’s further away so the other one should be easy. Pico is cool. Go on a snowy Tuesday for one of the best kinds of skiing: touring, on the nicely manicured trails of a closed ski area, with lots of fun, like-minded people, but without the hassle of...

I noticed this, too & it made me rethink what the second half of my life might look like.
