I like the Telo, though it is about twice the price of the Slate.

Can’t have those gays in the military, after all.

That’s certainly true of most everywhere in America.

I would suggest that instead of running yet another highway through a city centre, the money be spent on buses, or something cheaper than roads - tram lines. Trams could connect these island-esque neighbourhoods and be a boon to the young and the old alike.

Even in a place like Texas, transit could alleviate that feeling that everyone still needs a car.

These isolated communities also doom the residents and more importantly their children to a life chained to car ownership.

I’m not sure if the last line is condemning bus drivers specifically or individual drivers in general, but either way, it’s a shame so many families have lost loved ones to these accidents.

Yet another Trump appointee swinging her undeserved gavel to keep hundreds of millions in the pockets of big business.

The fact the Coast Guard spent four million dollars per recruit on a NASCAR campaign is unreal. Yet after they’ve served they’ll be lucky to get a free massage.

The PAC that got this AG elected must have a loose definition of ‘crooked’.

From their site:

Join our dedicated community of Christ-followers who have committed to championing our God-given liberties, taking a stand for biblical justice, and paving the way for a brighter future. Together, we strive for reformation in our government and seek to make the crooked paths straight for our generation.

While the labels give retailers the ability to increase prices suddenly, Gallino doubts companies like Walmart will take advantage of the technology in that way.

“To be honest, I don’t think that’s the underlying main driver of this,” Gallino said. “These are companies that tend to have a long-term relationship with their customers and I think the risk of frustrating them could be too risky, so I would be surprised if they try to do that.”

Rather than seeing an opportunity to use surge pricing, Gallino says retailers are likely drawn to electronic shelf tags to ensure consistency between online and in-store pricing.

This person must live on another planet.

Sure, the prices won’t be changing every six seconds, but anyone with half a mind can see these tags won’t be used only when stock or expiry are a factor. The prices will be up on the weekend to start. Then later it’ll be changing through the day to get higher prices between 4:00-7:00 when people are getting off work.

The arguments of no longer needing people to do yet another menial task and increasing utility of labels for consumers both have merit, but this alien even says the primary factor:

“The bottom line … is the calculation of the amount of labor that they’re going to save by incorporating this."

Ignoring that they shouldn’t be getting any of these ‘gifts’, could you imagine being one of the others only recieving a few thousand a year. I’d be rather annoyed.

I realize this isn’t why you mentioned the range of those vehicles, but I like to point out where I can that only a single digit percentage of all driven trips are more than fifty miles.

More to the point of the thread, if people could get over this reason for not buying electric, there could be much cheaper options by halving the battery capacities in these vehicles. Of course that would mean the manufacturers would have to make them, which seems unlikely. Worthwhile to point out though I think.

How do you find Ground News? I’ve seen them advertise on Climate Town and similar, but haven’t seen any individual mention them until right now.

Given the EPAs policy on natural gas leaks was to ask the gas companies if they’ve noticed anything, I’d say we’ve got some distance to go on stopping the sale of natural gas stoves.

Climate Town has a good video on this subject - and others - that might be a good watch.

I can’t imagine the news that must enter your sphere. Only lemonade stands and yard sales from the neighbourhood?
