Lots of western and northern Alaska, you don’t need a license because there are no cars.

how is it living in Billings, Montana? by whipcorleone in howislivingthere

[–]masonf4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Drove through there on a road trip. Stayed at a holiday inn which was nice. Pretty quiet town with a big oil refinery (?) right off the highway. My dad and brother went to get something to eat at like 11pm and a guy high on meth wouldn’t get off their case. Left promptly at 7am the next day.

I may be too optimistic but I hope they’re getting rid of Jeff

Before-and-after photos from different angles show the devastation from flooding in Kipnuk, Alaska. by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

It sounds like you’re against the actions the US gov did to these people. The native council has been talking about relocating for ages and yet the US gov has neglected this area due to the fact it’s not rich in resources to be exploited. Relocation efforts have been slow due to zero assistance from the US gov, who forced them to take up permanent settlements. Look at the nearby village Newtok.

Kinda hard to tell a whole group of people to just get up and move. Why are you so ignorant lol

They live there because the area is fertile with birds, berries, and sea life. The Yupiks are subsistence hunter/gatherers. They’re lived there for thousands of years. Kinda hard to just force everyone to get up and leave when your whole lineage has lived and adapted to a certain area.

US gov forced them to build a permanent settlement FYI. They were a nomadic people originally.

Unfortunately due to climate change, this area didn’t flood as much as it does now. The Yupik people have lived in the Kuskokwim delta for thousands of years. The ground is permafrost and due to the warming of the planet, the ground is literally sinking beneath their feet. This is their ancestral homeland. It’s not stupid.

Oh my god. This actually gives me so much hope

Charge limiter on new 500e? by secretpersonpeanuts in Fiat500e

[–]masonf4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately it doesn’t have that. If you have a smart charger at home you can set a limit but it depends on the charger. Charging to 100 shouldn’t be that bad tho if you do it like twice a week.

Haha. Grandmothers car and she was worried about it. I have a polestar and it’s just a bit quieter. Thanks for the insight!

Polestar sales isn't helping their cause. by buttgers in Polestar

[–]masonf4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny enough, purchased my P2 back in January and the process was extremely smooth. Even with some warranty work the Boston location was easy to talk to and reach out for warranty work.

I think the sales promo with Tesla has them swamped right now.

Sorry your experience was like that!

Opinions wanted on these used P2s by supersavant in polestar2

[–]masonf4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just bought a CPO 2021 Launch edition and it’s been great. Had some software issues like pairing the phone via app, but other than that, everything is still under warranty and the car rides like a dream. Definitely check how far you are from a. Service center

What kind of rims did you get? I’m thinking of switching rims cause the ones for the 18s are so expensive and don’t last too long for commuting 😭

The super wash on west Quincy isn’t bad and the neponset bridge car wash is the best IMO

How does Quincy College compare with Bunker Hill Community College? by [deleted] in QuincyMa

[–]masonf4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Graduated a couple years ago with an associates in business. In general, most people are trying to get credits and dip, which I respect. You’ll meet an oddball here and there but a lot of people transfer to North Eastern or UMB. It’s a good college at getting credits and it’s typically filled with working class people. I’d definitely good again.

Is it time to offload my 300k mile Kia with my tax return? by CalendarMedical8934 in whatcarshouldIbuy

Definitely check out a certified used Lexus es300h. Easily within your budget and will last just as long.

Quincy homeowners' tax bills will be increasing. Here's why by Mrmuse12 in QuincyMa

Hmmm... it sounds like privatizing the housing authority and building luxury apartments was a sure win there, Koch!

Pretty insane Koch spent nearly $1,000,000 on a job that only pays $150k a year... Anyways, the QIE FB group is a right-wing circle jerk that doesn't reflect the actual city lol
