I would like to hear more about this

The state of Delaware ruled in a lawsuit that the Tesla board is under control of Musk and not really an independent board as it should be

No. “Much worse” and “more of the same” are different from each other.

People do need to keep that in mind.

15 years ago I bought a beautiful stone-topped wooden table from them that was cheap enough to not feel bad drilling a hole in it and turning it into a sink stand for my bathroom.

It was great.

You can thank me for keeping them in business.

Translate says:

So I'm not the only one who doesn't understand the principle because I've never had one. Uff... I felt a little stupid and very lonely.

Dude, they borrow your hoodies because they want to smell you. If you like the girl then let her wear you around. Giving them a decoy is a self-own.

What’s this about monopoly money?

Not really. The ocean is going to constantly move the loose sand on the beach around from place to place, which means, away from wherever it is right now.

Whoever builds devices to prevent new sand from coming into play, or devices to trap sand and key it from moving, will starve the downstream places that would normally receive that sand.

Yes. Say it out loud.

I am almost 50 years old and understood for the first time this month that the reason my wife doesn’t like going out alone to explore new places is fear of men and not fear of getting lost etc.

For mumble-mumble years it has never occurred to me to wonder about this

Mine just stays on the counter. At the spot it’s in, if I had an accident and it tried to go flying, the wall of the retracted slide room would block it. But in 3 years of driving with it, it hasn’t flown off.

Countertop dishwashers are a thing. I found one that fits on the tiny counter I have, and do my chopping and slicing on the kitchen table instead.

I’ve been living in a motor home for five years. It’s pretty good for me, I work from home and have spent a good long time at dozens of national parks and other awesome places.

Also boring places. Moving all the time and fixing broken things can be stressful and staying in nice places can be expensive. But overall it’s been way better for me than sitting in a house and staring at the walls.

 

I find after this election that I have an unexpectedly pressing need to wave large obnoxious flags from my sensible fuel-efficient subcompact while I drive.

Has anybody got models, templates, suggestions for how to mount a stout pole to a hatchback? I’m thinking of some kind of tube on a short arm that I could close the rear passenger door or the cargo door on to hold it in place.

 

I have some little black ants in my motorhome. I’m pretty sure I picked them up at my last stop in upstate New York but I’ve since driven far away from there. Wikipedia says little black ants nest in the soil so presumably I didn’t take their queen with me.

What’s going to happen to this group that hitched a ride? Are they likely to elect a new queen and go looking for a good nesting spot, or curl up and die, or what?
