Start selling cheaper ones. The day a sub $20,000 EV comes along that can do more than 150 miles on a charge you will all shut up and take my money. I don't need fancy features, I just need something that can get me to work and back with a bit of wiggle room and never have to pay for gas again. 150 miles would be more than sufficient, but 200 would be PERFECT. Leaf and Bolt are close, can we get something a little cheaper, pretty please?

The rule is, if you dress up you get candy. I don't care how old you are, but you have to be dressed up.

Of all the things I can criticize about Trump, the type of laptop his lawyer for this week is using is far down on that list.

The US has no issue with the metric system, and most engineering and scientific people switched decades ago. The military is mostly all metric too. The general public of the US is a harder nut to crack, asking a population of stubborn freedom lovers to change something they've known their whole life is damn near impossible.

I switch my stuff to metric all the time, and the usual response isn't "oh that's interesting", it's nearly always, "the fuck is wrong with you, why would you want that weird shit?!". If the government suddenly made all weather reports metric, the T-Shirt sellers would all become millionaires overnight from selling anti-metric slogans.

Only thing I used it for was when older versions of Notepad couldn't handle larger text files. Now it can. So, no loss to me. Notepad going away would suck, that does at least get occasional use although Notepad++ is far superior.

I would be broke in about 4 months with $10K in reserve if I dialed back everything to the bare minimum. It would make my job search extremely urgent.

150 more warnings than a regular car would give, ultimately it's the driver's fault.

He advertised his charity on every release, I’m sure they’d appreciate donations in his honor.

An air fryer, my microwave has been gathering dust ever since.

Dead CMOS, or the boot order was wrong and they didn't know how to fix it would be my guess.

I pulled out of my parking lot at work, blinked, and suddenly found myself half way home with no memory of how I got there. I was so freaked out I pulled over to check my car for damage (there wasn't any). My route home involved a highway and several stop signs and lights at very busy junctions, goodness knows if I stopped for any of them. Drove very carefully the rest of the way home and swore never to drive tired again. I'd just pulled a 14 hour shift, and had a newborn at home so wasn't getting much sleep to begin with.
