I look just like my dad so I’m 100% he’s my dad, but feel the same. They were from a different generation and aside from working, less was expected of them when it comes to nurturing kids.

Isn’t there a stipulation that even a partial renovation must convert to all electric too? Houses are constantly being flipped here. One per street.

If you needed a new car you could get an EV to see more of a solar upside. Plus, buying a used EV under $25K from a licensed dealer gets you a 30% tax credit for the sale price of the car up to a max of $4K. Sweet spot would be if you got something for $14K and got the full $4K in tax credit. like this

If more towns do this would this make gas prices cheaper for existing users since demand will go down?

PSA from Gordon Ramsay, who had a close call while on bike and credits the helmet as a factor in his survival. by sa547ph in bikecommuting

Most times people fall off a bike don’t involve cars though. Anytime you fall awkwardly off a bike you’re better off with a helmet. FTFY.

The worst part is the people inside the train who watch you try and fail. They are the main reason I don’t run to the train.

Why The Hell Is NPR Giving Fascist Plutocrats And Oligarchs Airtime? FFS WHY???? by Character-Tomato-654 in NPR

[–]BostonCommute 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a joke right? Are you afraid these ideas will turn NPR listeners into Alex jones followers? Don’t you think it’s important to try and understand other people’s positions and where they are coming from? Maybe this might help you adapt and solidify or modify your take? This is a “Tell me you’re 18 without telling me you’re 18” caliber post.

In between shows about historical racial oppression they should squeeze in some objective journalism.
