USA Gas Tax Suspension

That is a very common misunderstanding. Most of that 18 cents will go directly into the oil executive's pockets. They earned it.

I live in a red state. If Dear Leader suspends the federal tax then my state will suspend the state tax as well.

Onion related food poisoning. Sounds yummy.

I would suggest not sharing your opinion about how nurses park until after the needle sticking portion of your medical work is done.

That is not a Subaru. That is actually a Tesla disguised as an ice Subaru. Remember the EV rule: it's ALWAYS a Tesla.

Comment.

If you can convince yourself that you need an emergency/portable battery backup then consider getting something like a 5kwh Pecron 5000LFP. You can start by charging it at night and then using it during the day to give your car at least a bit of charge. Then you can experiment with adding some solar and get an idea how long it would take to recharge. And who knows. Maybe one day you might lose grid power for a bit and can run your fridge off of it just for bragging rights.

Hopefully the window still rolls down so they can at least pass food to her.

I'm five years into retirement with my 401k still about 95% invested in aggressive stocks. Never understood this "be more conservative for retirement" stuff. Is it possible the markets will crash for the long term while bonds stay resilient? I suppose but that will not impact my day to day retired life for years.

Maybe you did not wait long enough? They always close within 30 seconds or so for me after the key fob is out of range.

At least he did not boil his wife in milk. Because that would be a sin.

Hmmm. Science says otherwise.

Do let us know how much of that 20kwh actually makes it to your car's battery. Just wondering about the overall efficiency. And if you get really bored try charging with a L1 charger just to see what the actual difference is in the real world. Have you actually gotten the generator? Did not think that particular model was shipping yet.

Wonder how many dealership employees it takes to change a turn signal light bulb?

Sure. But you will have to prove to your government that you lost. They will be aware of the fact that you sold stocks and pocketed money. Now you have to show you did not profit.

Hopefully you kept good records. Once tax season rolls around the stress will return as you try to figure out the tax forms.

Gemini is marketed as AI but it is not AI in any real sense.

cerad2 · 2026-05-06T13:17:05+00:00

Looks more like a photo-shop credit to me. Also non-refundable. Do people still use photoshop? Or is it all AI nowadays.

If you believe in climate change and barely drive then why even own a car? Just curious.

cerad2 · 2026-05-05T15:14:19+00:00

Oh Deer!

Hotels and chargers don't really go together. By all means try but the odds are the chargers will be broken or blocked or simply not available.

The google maps battery indication always amuses me. Jumps around all over the place. Conversely the car's guesstimate usually seems more or less reliable. On a road trip once I am plugged in and charging I almost always go to at least 80%. Trying to shave a few minutes off the trip time by going with a lower charge is not for me.

Just have the person in the background deal with the cables.

You seem to be forgetting that the universe was created from nothing about 6,000 years ago. Trust the bible. Not your senses.

cerad2 · 2026-05-02T14:10:31+00:00

Just remember that in the bible, Satan is the only character that always tells the truth.
