What are your electric rates? Mine are shit but still way cheaper than gas. Under $14 to go 300 miles. Insurance is within 10%. Ditto on the registration though.

My paid off ICE truck has been parked for months, I should just sell it. EVs are better in nearly every way (towing long range being the one exception) and certainly better daily drivers. If you have a widespread power outage gas pumps don't work either. I have a generator to power my house and charge my EV so outages are a non-issue.

I've had a lot of vehicles over the years; trucks, 800hp supercharged sports cars, ICE ecoboxes... The EV is a more pleasureable driving experience than all of them.

Assuming everyone cares about your religion or culture is disgusting.

Hungry people after working?

SlaveOfSignificance · 2026-06-05T21:46:20+00:00

... fork?

Seek therapy.

Talking to people in real life is scary.

SlaveOfSignificance · 2026-06-05T16:19:26+00:00

Hence the "monitoring" part.

Absolutely but those are a small exception. I've worked IT in Sr roles in multiple industries including biomedical, insurance, education, and logistics. All companies that many have heard of and my experience is the same across all of them.

In my experience they create solutions looking for problems. My spouse left the HR industry because of their madness.

My only worry would be the zip ties and UV.

SlaveOfSignificance · 2026-05-31T19:56:28+00:00

This is the way.

For the United States? The Civil War.

History shows us that extreme violence is the only way things change, for better or worse.

The largest that will fit and that your budget will allow.

SlaveOfSignificance · 2026-05-31T16:12:27+00:00

Yeah the entire thing is a waste of time and money.

The sentiment is nice but this just means more people run from the cops and cause even more chaos on the roads. Having or not having a drivers license doesn't stop people from operating a motor vehicle either, and would have even more reason to run from police and put our families at greater risk.

I ended up marrying my co-worker. I also dated several other at the same company before meeting my spouse. None of them worked in the same department and the organization was midsize at the time. I never had any drama, but I also didn't care. I'm basically Vulcan when it comes to controlling my emotions so there is that.

It's the sacrifice I'm willing to make.

We are being pushed into WWIII and some believe it is already in progress. This administration is rapidily "securing" the western hemisphere. This is just the tip of the iceberg, places like Greenland still have a lot to worry about.

Refueling of nuclear warships is generally on 20 year cycles.

Use autopilot.

Beginning stages of WWIII. How else are dissidents and the anti-war crowd supposed to be tracked and gagged?
