And it’s only couches of legal age?

Bring a pair of kitchen scissors, and awe them by separating the halves
That looks really cool, but very far away.
I went to a small local one in New England run by my local brewer. These guys have some great ideas so I really hope they succeed. They just started running it at a local historical estate.
Unfortunately the day I was there did not have as many customers as they were probably hoping. Maybe sundays are light, I don’t know. It appeared to be the family day as we were the only ones without little kids, so that’s fantastic, but less the half the tables were in use
They are really cool machines and my teens would love them, so yes, if it were an actual raffle that would be fantastic.
However a couple years ago I spent a ridiculous amount of money helping them build their own gaming PCs, and get rid of their consoles. We don’t need to spend another $1,500. And I rarely have time to game
Yeah, I should have spent a little time figuring that out. Now I just need to hope I don’t win: I don’t want it as much as they’re charging
Oh no, we let Trump violate the law and constitutional checks and balances all this time, so now we said no and he just laughed.
Oh man, I saw your post calling it a raffle and jumped to sign up. It’s not.
It a wait list to make a reservation.
Part of the problem is every area is different. I like seeing my senator’s support for it, even as it am skeptical it would help us. Massachusetts was built out long ago, so we have much less new construction than other states, consequently much lower corporate ownership. We’re also high cost of living so have a lot to change. We have state zoning overrides and local regulations that will probably work better for us, but every tool helps. Bring it on
Maybe. If you pay by weight and distance, and focus it on EVs “paying their share”, you may get a lot of truck owners reacting in outrage over something they know nothing about. As an EV owner I would vote for it despite it costing me more, because it’s a fair way to do it, it might cut back in ridiculous trucks …. Although I might angle for the income to be dedicated to “transportation infrastructure “, not just roads
Then again, my brother got one of those Silverado EVs. That battery is three times the size of mine and the car approaches 10,000 pounds. At some point there’s got to be a weight limit
Maybe this is confirmation bias, but when I see a vehicle that can’t stay in its lane or can’t make a turn, it’s inevitably a full sized pickup or suv.
There’s this one street corner near me that is admittedly a tight turn, it it’s near the elementary school and there are kids who walk. Every week or so in the winter, I’ll see tire tracks in the snow, on the sidewalk where kids walk to school, every day, from vehicles that didn’t make the turn and drive over the the corner of the sidewalk. It’s not like we have those tiny one lane paths the UK is famous for, it’s not that tight, any personal vehicle can make the turn, but some drivers can’t maneuver their vehicles well enough.
I’ve actually been wondering about putting together a petition to install different accessibility to the sidewalks. Our town uses the really nice ones where the entire corner is a ramp to the street. That’s great for all of us, but there’s no protection from cars. I wonder if we can go back to the older style with a full height curb aside from a specific ramp. Still accessible even if less so for all of us, but if it’s better at keeping the cars off the sidewalk, it may be worth it
This would be great for EVs, because
- fair is fair
- politicians would stop trying to charge excessively
- more people would realize the full sized pickups are more of a problem than EV s
- if it encourages lighter EVs, that’s great!



Yes, I saw data once. Everyone likes to parrot the concept that past industrial revolutions lead to all sorts of new jobs and the economy kicking it up a gear. But the jobs never pivot. The jobs are lost. A generation or two is disrupted, and worse off before their children and garandchildren see any benefit
That’s ok, because their misery and poverty lets us sit back from the distance of a century and claim it was all for the better
