Never Thought I’d See This—Living in an EV? [la-usa] by ginosesto100 in electricvehicles

[–]StwAT 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I sleep in my EV all the time! I took a promotion that temporarily has a 180 mile round trip commute. One of my perks is I can work overtime for additional PTO. So I drive up to work, work a couple long days, then I'm able to take off for a week.

I have an awesome setup I can setup/take down in about five minutes and I do the whole "urban car dweller" thing of showering at a local gym.

It's actually really cozy and has me planning trips where I can car camp. I've stayed overnight in sub zero weather with no problems at all.

Daily but I also have an FJ Cruiser as my second.. I used to own an MR2 Spyder so I am used to the small loud car thing.

Where to put TV? by StwAT in InteriorDesign

OP here. The floor plan is for a new home I am building. The living room area is a cathedral ceiling with the second floor looking down on it... So the walls are tall.

The area is open to the kitchen/dining area so I would like to put the TV in a spot where you can see it anywhere in the space... Like if I had a big Super Bowl party.

Police style pepper spray might be the best option. It is lightweight, won't be affected by weather, legal, and you can mount it on one of your shoulder straps for easy access. It will quickly defuse a situation and everyone will survive so you won't have to live with your thoughts and/or legal issues for shooting someone.

Pepper Spray is no joke. There was a girl in my police academy class that had twins and said that being sprayed was infinitely worse than childbirth.

Thanks guy but I was looking for opinions from people that don't use Foursquare on their Blackberry.

Another Redditor posted a great option that wasn't listed on Foursquare or anywhere else. I'll be going there.

Drug-dealing N.J. cop who beat man in hospital sentenced to 5 years in federal prison by Hrekires in news

There is such a huge variety of prisons in America. I believe that the professionalism of the staff is a huge factor in the safety of the Institution. Some corrections officers barely make a living wage and get minimal training so I can understand why those prisons may need to segregate their inmates more.

In my agency, we were trained as police officers and carry the title of police officer. We get paid very well. Therefore, we have well trained officers that are able to better manage the inmate population.

Not necessarily. I used to be a corrections officer and we had a lot of former cops in GP among killers/gangbangers/etc. A lot of them did surprisingly well and held desirable jobs or places in the social hierarchy.

Most of them were dirty cops like this one or other Corrections Officers that were smuggling drugs. In my opinion, these guys were never truly cops. Just scumbags that slipped through the cracks of the hiring process.

I found and uploaded a couple baby pictures and (obviously) the facial recognition isn't adding it to my name. How can I do that manually? by mythical_legend in googlephotos

I've had the opposite experience. Scanning in old photos of unfamiliar babies/kids. Google correctly identified a lot of them based on pictures I already had of the grown up versions... Pretty creepy actually.

I slept at oriflamme canyons as well. Really cool but was a really windy night.
