That fire was raging

I thought it'd just be airlocking them

"the sheriff's department doesn't have evidence of the guy impersonating a cop any prior time"

Kinda surprised it wasn't that one teenager who kept pulling people over in his ford fusion

Work horses are a lot closer than I expected. I saw them about 15 minutes from the downtown of a top 20 Mexican city. Hitched up like a western, pulling carts, or carrying a person and sack of produce.

Location on Earth will change timing for really precise events like occultations. Location on Earth will not affect any DSO's visual "closeness" to the moon, especially not at the low zoom scale of binoculars. Hemisphere will only change which is on top. At 1/40th the distance to the moon, moving from pole to pole only changes the view the amount standing 1 foot to the left changes the view of an object 40ft away

Back when social media wasn't so centralized on Facebook and especially any kind of local news, the odds were higher. Craigslist had a name for itself, although anything in the personals was overshadowed by prostitution.

I'm always surprised to go another day where I don't hear anyone mention the risk of this mixup with Tushy, the anal porn site, and Hello Tushy, the bidet company.

People will buy the house for sale. The country made it clear that half of the population is happy with one of the sides. Reds want to move out of blue states all the same. So yes, a down payment and a moving rental are a magnitude of order apart, but relocating still introduces huge expenses. A 600 mile trip with a 15' truck and car trailer is about $1,000 (it's the mileage rate that gets you). Hotels if needed, road food, security down payments, and gas are the easy ones to point out. Then there's the added stress and costs of scoping out your destination, finding a suitable place, not being employed during the transition, losing your current social networks, and pulling it off solo. My point is that "just move" isn't feasible to many of the people most affected by the predicted changes.

If you're talking about stress, sure, a renter can relocate more easily than a home owner. Stress isn't worth dollars, though. A homeowner is still much more likely to have the financial ability to relocate. If renters had spare cash of a substantial amount, don't you think they'd put it towards owning?

No, they want states to decide on issues they're losing federally but still let the fed decide things if they're winning. There is no consistency, just temporary workarounds.

From a categorization standpoint, sure. I guess what I was trying to get at was I'll happily take a PHEV sale over yet another ICE

On a global scale, why wouldn't it be reliable? China has the biggest EV boom and over 10% of the global population. It's not unreasonable that a global tally skews results to the Chinese or Indian market.

Is a tired 1st gen Leaf an "EV with limited EV functionality" if the battery only has 50 miles of range now? Where do you draw the line?
