if her resume is anything like any of the well-made mid-career resumes I've seen then she's probably left off a lot of experiences, and she can simply handwaved it with a line like "I didn't list X law clerk internship or y legal work at a corporation either because they aren't as relevant as the jobs I chose to list" and move on

Look, I'm with you most of the way in theory, but a lot of rural areas don't have plumbing and drinking water from public utilities, they have their own septic and water wells. I know it's pedantic but a lot of parts of the world are so rural that it probably doesn't make sense to have fully public transport, like it doesn't make sense to have centralized water. The scope needs to be great systems within towns and cities and lots of park and ride hubs around the perimeter

Any idea what the huge season 6 single episode dip was? The musical?

Most of these look good, green+orange and purple+orange and purple+green are all really rough without a lot of care though

Yeah, if she was a mother of 1 or 2 maybe, but feeding 10+ people it makes tons of sense!

I just don't understand why Elon "build my fortune on EVs" Musk is cosying up to fossil fuel and anti-climate actors so much. The antitrans bullshit is deplorable but unfortunately probably doesn't really compromise his ability to make money, but this stuff just doesn't really make sense from any angle.

I don't normally bite but so much of this is wrong.

American here... If you never leave like a 40 mile radius of your home, and you don’t live in a location that sees extreme temperatures, and you don’t live in a hilly or rural area, they’re probably fine.

I work in agriculture and drive 120+ miles most days for work in very rural parts of the Southeast USA in my EV, and this summer the temperatures have been around to 100F with high humidity almost every day. I exclusively charge at home with the free level 2 charger that came with my car.

“I cut my gas expenses by going electric,”

CA seems to be an anomaly, but here gas was $3.44/gal this morning, electricity is ~$0.10/kwh. For my normal operations in my Honda accord, my weekly gas cost for work is ~$60. That same travel comes out to ~$15 in electricity, for a yearly saving of $2000+ in the EV. My electric bills have largely born this out. Additionally, in my area a new Chevy Bolt was the second cheapest vehicle with a warranty--a used mazda 3 with ~5k miles left on the warranty was $400 cheaper. The home charger came free with the purchase, so if you're looking at cars with warranties (which many people without the time/skill/space to work on their own vehicles are) there are EVs that are hands-down cheaper to buy and run, and it's not close.

Good for people that don’t care about cars and don’t travel much, but impractical for most people, IMO.

Road trips aren't as good (except in a Tesla imo), but there's very few advantages irl of modern gas cars over comparable modern EVs. Hell, my bolt, currently the cheapest EV on market (well, now discontinued), has most of the same performance specs as my '01 3-series BMW: same 0-60, same turn radius, same stopping distance, lighter with a similar center of gravity. The BMW is more fun out in the country (can't beat the feel of a perfect manual shift), but the bolt easily beats the Honda which is the actual market-class comparison, and on crowded roads with merging the instant acceleration is a huge bonus.

Not that I ascribe this to strategy, but I wonder if this will work in their favor. The last minute change of jockey has been dominating the news since it happened, and pushing Trump's ridiculous things to the side. This ticket will have huge and new name recognition in voters' minds, and a lot less time to get mud to stick

The people viewing it as a weakness were going to attack her no matter what, whether she was just black, just Indian, or just a woman. Adding the extra labels doesn't really amplify their thinly veiled bigotry, she's going to lose negligible support for being biracial than if she was one or the other, and will possibly appeal to a broader cross section of apathetic voters.

This specific thread is responding to this comment, not the original article:

They should even go further and require to move other passengers if neccessary, so that the families can sit together always, no matter what.

Which is maybe why there's a big disconnect between you and all the comments you're replying to

Keep in mind NH is only vaguely a battleground at the federal level, Biden won it by 7+ points in 2020 and they haven't voted for a Republican president since 2000 and even then Bush barely eked out a win. Push against the fascists still!

As long as it can't be mistaken for the actual person it moves the stigma from them doing weird things to the artist doing weird things
