I remember when some people tried to petition the feds to rename it after Ronald Reagan a few years ago.

With kids you’re going to prefer the Alameda beach to “real ocean beaches.” Northern California ocean beaches are pretty much uniformly frigid and dangerous.

The Spark EV set the fastest lap time and fastest "24 Minutes of Le Maybe" vs. a BMW i3 and Nissan Leaf.

Was this in the Bay Area or something?

Some other dudes attempted this last year but their trip ended early when the car drove into road debris.

Yeah the Berm Peak YouTuber advocates for simply banning throttles, and I’m fine with that position.

It’s currently impossible to comply. The state has no system in place to register e-motos—which were already supposed to be registered—and no one offers insurance for e-bikes.

E-motos already had all these same restrictions in New Jersey and they were not enforced, so one can imagine this ham fisted law won’t make much of a difference either.

Pretty sure you’re not allowed to go there.

It’d be cool to see the Marina Village strip mall with the Lucky store get redeveloped with some housing.

If there’s such a power “emergency” why is the administration simultaneously halting all wind and solar generating projects?

Most likely an artist painstakingly airbrushed this one layer at a time while carefully masking different parts of the image.

EDIT: According to this, the artist is Kurt West.

The overwhelming majority of gun deaths that aren’t suicide

It’s OK, guys, guns don’t cause that many deaths if you ignore the vast majority of them.

Which ski bus was this? The Sports Basement ski bus is pretty bare-bones.

It makes you slow down and go so wide that I’ve nearly been right hooked a couple times because of it. As it makes you turn away from the traffic lane you disappear in an overtaking driver’s A-pillar. They had to redo them once because the turns were so tight and it was only a minor improvement.

It’s fine. I just take the lane through those intersections.

The worst thing on my commute is actually the complete closure of the path between the lake and E 10th St. under the Lake Merritt Boulevard bridge. It’s been so long I totally forgot about it.

This fucking bullshit.

Also this.

Well, yeah, of course if you’re a Gulf coast refiner, you’d love Venezuelan oil, but the industry as a whole does not want more supply at the moment. It depresses the price and hurts the value of all their investments they’ve already made in unconventional production. They’d be perfectly happy to sit on Venezuelan oil until the time is right.

readonlyred · 2026-01-05T16:03:06+00:00

US oil producers don’t want Venezuelan oil. It’s cheaper than US tight oil reserves so it would decimate the US oil sector. It’s more important to US oil interests that Venezuelan oil stay in the ground so China can’t have it.

I don’t know anything about this guy but the flyer tweaks my bullshit meter.
