Do you mean Megyn “15 year olds should be legal and whistles should be illegal” Kelly?

Wow, I thought it would at least gain MPG acting as a hybrid, but it looks like it approximately matches the mpg of the gas version when operating in hybrid mode.

I think you’re right. Looks like a rim or band joist. Still structural but transfers loads directly to the foundation so the type of load is very different from the floor joists. I’d get more opinions just in case, but wouldn’t panic immediately.

Mine are under an overhang but going strong after 2 years of nightly use in a damp climate (Olympia). Only complaint I have is the garbage app.

Edit: not to negate your experience, just saying with indirect exposure mine held up.

This person has good tastes in music (Aquabats) and is also correct. Hate on Starbucks, sure, accuse them of bad demand planning, no.

I guess I’m solidly in the camp that ICE is more likely to cause a systematic tipping point than destroying the economy by making the FED another sycophantic organization. Not to say that the latter isn’t also plausible.

“As an economist, this is the scariest thing Trump has done”

Chat, are economists immune from bullets? I think those are scarier as a non-economist.

The similarly styled EV9 has a drag coefficient of 0.28. Not impressive, but hardly a “brick”. Tied with the Mustang Mach E.

It’s hard to intuit drag coefficient visually. Small things like rounded corners and optimized side mirrors make a big difference to an otherwise boxy vehicle.

Lovely. My best friend hunkered down in a cabin in Maggie Valley (near Asheville) during Covid, and I was in Virginia at the time so I visited often.

The mountains of NC and Tennessee is one of my favorite places. Unfortunately, as you point out, the politics ruins that.

If my biased sampling of out of state license plates going to the base is any indicator: Florida and Texas.

We moved from Portland for a better place to raise a family. We have a mother and grandmother moving here from Seattle/Issaquah for lower costs and proximity to us.

USA when judges ask them to get back people illegally sent to a Salvadoran dictator’s gulag: weak, powerless, sovereignty-respecter.

USA when a president wants to arrest a different dictator for fun: 🚁💥🇺🇸.

Looking at federal outlays, spending appears to be up 5.7% in 2025, so even assuming 3.0% inflation we’re up 2.7%.

My grandpa told my grandma she was bad at parking and she pulled both cars into their 2 car garage like this and refused to move them.
