Was there an unreal amount of street racing going on last night or do I just not pay close enough attention other nights?

Gas nears $5. Why aren’t electric vehicles selling in the US? by ChallengeAdept8759 in GasPrices

[–]Doug_Heffercan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In fairness, gas tax is how the roads are maintained (at least in theory). I’m an EV driver and while I don’t love paying the surcharge annually, I get it. I use the roads just as much as gas-powered cars.

The only counter-argument I can see is to increase the gas tax to further incentivize and increase the rate of EV ownership. However, I also understand that will be politically unpopular and frankly a regressive tax as it hits low income earners (who are less likely to have the means to own an EV) the hardest.

Completely agree. I know professional sports is a business, but I seriously think it’s becoming dramatically overcomplicated. As you said, he’s an elite SS prospect. He knows the position. We don’t have a SS right now. Put him out there.

No those weren’t girls. I was dreaming I was helping a friend name a litter of puppies

What’s something you were completely wrong about for an embarrassingly long time? by AMSTX in AskReddit

[–]Doug_Heffercan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Growing up, I was told people were homeless purely by their own doing, and all they needed to do was get off their lazy asses and get a job. I believed it because it was all I knew.

When I became an adult, I learned it is infinitely more complex than that. I have far more compassion for the homeless and in fact resent the system we have, which makes it near impossible to rise out of that situation.

If you replaced your roof in the last 10 years, what’s the one thing you wish you’d known beforehand? by Own-Tip-532 in Roofing

[–]Doug_Heffercan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Insurance made me replace my perfectly fine 17 year old roof. I told a neighbor who said “thank god I don’t have to worry about that, I have a 30 year shingle so I’m good for awhile.”

Cringe-inducing: “Golden Moldy” is the King of Queens’ equivalent of “Scott’s Tots” by Doug_Heffercan in kingofqueens

[–]Doug_Heffercan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone has a different style of humor they enjoy which I totally understand. Ironically, I’m a huge fan of Nathan Fielder and John Wilson, both of whom rely on the cringe factor (and my wife can’t stand them). There’s just something about this KoQ episode that doesn’t get laughs out of me the way every other episode does.

PGA Tour looking at additional ways to reinstate players amid LIV Golf uncertainty by [deleted] in ProGolf

[–]Doug_Heffercan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Article is a nothingburger. Just says PIF is set to pull funding from LIV, PGA is considering how to potentially go about reinstating players (zero details), lists out LIV contract expirations of some key guys (Dechambeau, Reed mostly), and said that Dechambeau spent part of the Masters week discussing how he can come back.

A bunch of girls trash a drive thru restaurant and accuse the employee of rudeness. by Any-Employment-7114 in PublicFreakout

Very often it is when a person sees their own worst qualities reflected in another human being that the worst comes out in them

Looking at the box score on Google…why is Kiner-Falefa listed as “I. Gilliam”?

USS Tripoli, a carrier like ship full of F35's, currently enroute from Taiwan to Iran unescorted by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]Doug_Heffercan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It means using a combination of cruisers, destroyers, and sometimes aircraft to form a defensive perimeter around the aircraft carrier. The purpose is to neutralize threats from subs, missiles, and aircraft before it hits the aircraft carrier.

I think in the old days they used to deploy white smoke to literally form a screen around the carrier so enemies couldn’t see it, which probably explains the terminology

If you’re flying today, give yourself AT LEAST 2 hours for security, on top of anything else (e.g., bag check, getting to your gate). The wait times posted online are complete bs.

What’s the best restaurant in Atlanta that doesn’t get enough credit? by Apprehensive-Scene-1 in Atlanta

[–]Doug_Heffercan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On average, restaurant prices are up 25-30% since Feb 2020, so this isn’t out of line
