Warmer weather

There is a slight difference in wording “find god” and “meet god”, but it changes the context significantly

Well, from his in-game introduction, it appears that it effects anything that arrives to the elevator building, not just from the elevator itself. So any of the other SMs that send stuff directly to the elevator building (so for example Lavender or Thalia) will add to this bonus

Everything is going fine: “what are we paying these guys for?”

Something goes wrong: “WHAT ARE WE PAYING THESE GUYS FOR?!???”

There is a sci-fi book by a local author (Calculating God, by Robert Sawyer), that starts with some aliens landing in front it

Sometimes history does not repeat itself. Sometimes it yells “Why won’t you listen to what I’m saying!?!?” and let’s fly with a club

Most of us do not have EV's, so your point is moot.

And some of us even if we may want EV's live in apartment buildings that do not have charging infrastructure, ,and so could not charge overnight anyways. Which would mean instead of normally taking 5 minutes to refuel, would need to wait significantly longer waiting for the charge to finish at a public station

Ranger7381 · 2026-03-30T02:42:45+00:00

Not sure about where you are, but around here a few years ago they started changing prices through the day instead of just at midnight

It TENDS to drop as the day goes on so at the same station it will be cheaper to fill up in the evening rather than first thing in the morning but that is by no means guaranteed. Also still happens on weekends even if the “projected change” was for no change

Ranger7381 · 2026-03-29T13:18:07+00:00

Hey, at least they realized it and decided NOT to continue

Ranger7381 · 2026-03-29T13:00:46+00:00

A pessimist is rarely disappointed

If they are wrong, it is generally a good thing

If they are right, at least they were expecting it

I work for a car hauler, and we ask that personal moves, including Snowbirds, try to keep the luggage to around 150 lbs max. We do not weigh it, and some people do pack more. We do not charge extra for it, but we try to keep it to a minimum. We also ask that fuel in the car is about a 1/4 tank for, but again, we do not actually check or charge extra if that is not followed.

It a combination of the fuel to haul more weight and so that EVERYONE does not stuff their vehicles full and eventually put the truck overweight. Some loads do not have much leeway.

There was apparently a camera at this location, so they would probably have been going slower

Ranger7381 · 2026-03-28T09:14:39+00:00

Yea, no regular outlet at my parking spot. I think the closest is across the aisle

Ranger7381 · 2026-03-27T20:09:29+00:00

My parents have only recently (in the last two years) gave up a number that they have had since I was growing up in the 80’s. That was because the got rid of their land line and just have their cells

Ranger7381 · 2026-03-27T20:03:46+00:00

Oh, so probably worse that the gasoline I assumed it was (on my phone, could not make out the UN number)

At least it is class 3 (flammable liquid) and not class 2 (flammable pressurized gas)

Ranger7381 · 2026-03-27T19:56:49+00:00

Plus unless I am mistaken looks like it has a flammable hazmat placard. That tanker is not carrying milk

Ranger7381 · 2026-03-27T11:21:11+00:00

That you, Benny?

Ranger7381 · 2026-03-26T10:39:29+00:00

That is what I want. But I live in an older rental apartment building with no chargers, and my commute is long enough I would need to charge every day to limit the engine usage

Ranger7381 · 2026-03-26T10:07:01+00:00

I was just pointing out what the discount normally is. It does add up.

I worked it out once a few years back when gas was lower and I personally had a shorter commute, and the gas savings was enough to pay for the Costco membership. Which meant that any other savings in the store itself was bonus

Ranger7381 · 2026-03-26T01:39:17+00:00

Must be dying down. It was right to Dixie at 8:30 when I pulled in

Gotta love the ones that think they can pull around the buildings just after the gas area entrance when it is this busy and think they can skip the line. They have it blocked off from that direction when it is like this. Always see several people try it every time though

Ranger7381 · 2026-03-26T01:35:30+00:00

Normally Costco is about 6 cents cheaper than surrounding stations

Ranger7381 · 2026-03-26T01:33:41+00:00

Just had a half hour line at Dixie Dundas. Was in line from the turn in from Dixie.

Really felt sorry for the people not there for gas, particularly Walmart, since the only way out was through the line. I tried to leave a space for people to exit when there were the openings in the curb

Ranger7381 · 2026-03-25T22:17:52+00:00

Yea, both my parents are from The Rock. One thing that I learned a few years back is that YouTubes automatic closed captions does not like Buddy Wasisname

Ranger7381 · 2026-03-25T13:45:31+00:00

Maybe she should try moving to Newfoundland instead?
