West Taiwan or East Tibet. Not sure which fits better. But imperialism is strong with this one.

Does that mean we're out of the thoughtx and prayerx phase and we can talk about sensible gun control?

Those federal workers should encourage their families to vote against Trump.

I bought a Prius back in 2003 for my spouse because of the promised gas mileage and interesting technology. In the years since I've replaced two after various wrecks. The technology can be really good, but I'm never buying one again. Toyota is being dicks about going pure electric because they don't really have anything to differentiate themselves vs others. I'd been excited about plug-in hybrids for a long time. As an interem experiment I bought an old Nissan Leaf that could only go about 45 miles on a charge. The batteries are even worse now. I've realized that plug-in hybrids have a fatal flaw. They always fully cycle their batteries if you go any distance for a commute. Lots of plug in hybrids only have 40ish miles of pure electric range. If you drive any more than that your battery is going to be trashed after a couple of years.

The recycling symbol for plastics was a great bit of marketing for the plastics industry. 'Just buy a new thing and no worries you can just recycle it.'

Future geologists are going to see a marine deposit of plastic and be able to date exactly the age of the rock layer.

Nothing a few well placed traffic cones couldn't solve.

Did exactly that. I also have a column for 'do I fit' since I'm quite tall. Every time I show the Excel spreadsheet at dealerships it changes the conversation. They realize it won't be an immediate sale and relax a good bit.

Does his name represent the 5th month of the year or the white egg based food topping?

And take a lot of people down with them due to lack of herd immunity.
