smoking on SEPTA, baby

today was the first time I saw someone light a CIGAR on a BUS

that is exactly what happened here

anyway if you see a white Honda Civic or Subaru Impreza type vehicle with a spoiler and some serious scrapes on the right side in the Wilkes Barre area, let me know lol

I’d say that’s more of a symptom

I’m gonna do it

I was rereading Chester Bowles economics book the other day and he points out that like 30 odd percent of potential infantry draftees got washed out for being underweight or otherwise too sick

I did not alas, he drove off immediately

thanks buddy

This is one of those things that is less sexy to talk about but is unequivocally a war crime

well it’s not always wrong, there are leash free parks and such. I’m talking about the people with aggressive dogs that jump and bark, and do it anyway

health of a society is inversely proportional to how badly you need a dashcam in it

yep

the whole family was in there including my 2 year old son. luckily we’re all fine, though the wheel assembly on the car is all bent alas bsky.app/profile/lawn...

I’m fine, car is all fucked up alas

I fucking hate the American culture of entitled asshole selfishness. you see it everywhere. the driver assholes going 90 in a school zone. the assholes who don’t leash their dog or pick up their dog shit. the assholes who litter. the assholes who won’t vaccine their kids

this afternoon making a left into the driveway some hot rod dickhead tried to dart around me and crashed into my drivers side corner going like 40 mph. this is in a residential neighborhood like 50 yards from a 4 way intersection. then he ran for it

Godspeed sir

that Carlin bit about America compulsively bombing brown countries has never been more true

trucks, ferries, sure

oh sure yeah, I'm talking for charging a single passenger car

yeah, agree. anything else is just not worth the expense to install, and besides it's probably better for you to walk around for a few more minutes anyway

but hey, I guess it kinda makes sense if you're BYD and you are in an absolutely vicious competition, and you really want to stop congestion at your chargers bsky.app/profile/meas...

ha yes, actually it turns out Norway already has a 100 foot long, 150 passenger electric ferry, it draws *2* megawatts lol maritime-executive.com/article/norw...

oh yeah it'd be like most of a city block, at that rate you'd hit the average US household's yearly consumption in about 6 hours. my half-informed sense is that it's kind of a demonstration project seeing how far they can get, like high performance sports cars

that does make some sense. and I guess if you're China and just dumping investment on anything you can think of, you might as well

it would be fun to have to put on a welding mask, heavy leather gloves, and pull a 4-foot lever to get the car charging though, I think I'd like that

if you've got a garage, it's fine. but yeah it was something like 30-40 percent of the power being wasted, only 5-10 with the new circuit. plus being able to get about 65 percent charge overnight is handy sometimes

mine is pretty slow, it is like 40 minutes from 10-80 percent. but that's because it is only 400v. the 800v Hyundais can do that in 15-20 mins, it would be a *colossal* investment to build them such that they could take 1500 kW

an ordinary wall plug would be fine for me except it turns out that serious cold absolutely kills the efficiency
