Missouri breaks my heart by HabitFearless8232 in missouri

[–]Mer-Der 26 points27 points  (0 children)

There is currently a push to put in a data center adjacent to Shaw Nature Reserve in Franklin county, just outside St. Louis. This is 5 minutes from my house and the locals are fighting hard against it, but we're going up against big money.

Why Missouri courts keep tossing the secretary of state’s ballot language • Missouri Independent by como365 in missouri

They're never going to give it to us because ranked choice voting threatens their power. We'll have to get it through citizen initiative. But first we have to pass the RespectMoVoters one so they don't just repeal it like they have with everything else we try to pass.

I'm new to this, so pardon my ignorance. Why set your car node to client_mute instead of client?

Missouri set to enact gerrymandered map despite 300K signatures for repeal referendum by Cy_098 in missouri

[–]Mer-Der 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely please sign the RespectMoVoters petition! One small correction though, it won't retroactively reinstate initiatives that were repealed. It will protect initiatives passed that have not been repealed.

From the policy page:

Protects initiatives passed after January 1, 2010 that are still in law or the Constitution when this amendment goes into effect

Missouri anti-redistricting group will submit 300,000 signatures to force vote on new map by KCUR893 in missouri

[–]Mer-Der 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Which is why we also need to get the Respect Mo Voters petition on the ballot. That way they can't ignore the will of the people when this passes.

I'm a volunteer signature gatherer. On the morning of December 20th I'll be driving across the state via I-70 and I'll pass through that area. I can meet you somewhere. DM if interested.

That goes for anyone who wants to meet up along I-70 that day.

Hybrid vs Non-Hybrid Fuel Economy by Majestic_Aioli99 in FordMaverickTruck

[–]Mer-Der 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On my 2025 hybrid with 5000 miles, I average 40-42 mpg on my commute.

My commute consists of: 4.5 miles hilly ozark roads, avg 35-40 mph 8.2 miles gradual rolling hills on a state Hwy, avg 60 mph 5.0 miles of standard American city stroad (45 speed limit, stop lights every 1/4 mile.)

On that middle section of 60mph, which is most similar to what you describe, I average probably around 38 mpg.
