It was comical that 666 ~Market was a known crackhouse, though.
So I'm visiting a buddy one night. He's at 669 Market Street, let's say. I park a ways off because the roads are skinny.
As I get out I notice a car pull into the drive on the left, up a ways, high side of the road. No big deal, but it's dark mostly and I hear the engine running.
It backs out and, as its front-left wheel bumps over the rough berm, I see the driver door swing open and shut. No one's in the car! It executes a perfect back-left turn to come toward me, in reverse, and just short of me it executes another perfect right-back turn to swing into the driveway on the down side of the road. Just before I'm sure it's going to slam into the back of their car-port at what is now a pretty good rolling speed, it does another capricious turn onto the lawn - still backwards - and hits the house at a basement window at a 45 degree angle and stoves in the wall a bit. And then all hell breaks loose.
See, that place across the street is a known crack house, and the mounties stationed a guy there for a while to watch it. And while the driver is trying to apologize in broken English after running out of there and come to see where his car wandered to, and is trying to get into his car like he can just drive his car outta there, no-harm no-foul, out comes the guy from sleeping on the other side of that wrecked wall, super upset, badge and gun held in front like they do. Commands are barked. Buddy gets bracelets. It's very exciting as I walk past this mess with the car on the lawn where it was peaceful not 30 sec before.
I get to 669 and my friend says "hey, what was the commotion? Did 666 Market have some drama?" Brother, you have no idea.
Edison makes a better electric truck -- it's small deisel genny feeding the motors. Tesla's advantage would be the driving, one day, but maybe Edison can deliver that while waiting for Tesla to do it too!
Nah. It seems like a quiet victory that no one let him mess with.
The cons have always cosplayed as human and their plebes haven't really cared it was an act.
That's the pic. Who knows whether that's her account, though; and I'm not going to xitter to find out!
Hands up if you're gonna remember this thing six months after it was vaporwared.
I know I'm not. I barely know there's an American election coming, and in this climate that's an astounding level of disconnect. You could tell me a meteor's coming in 6 mo and I'd forget in a week. I hate looting and burning at the very last minute, too, but we all know that's gonna happen.
I'm surprised most people are against public votes.
It's okay that you don't understand why, but it would be best to learn why anonymity is a key requirement for voting freedom, be it in the polls or on social media.
A friend of mine recounts how in 1988 he flew home from Japan with a high quality katana as carry-on. Wrapped in a beach towel.
Remember there was a time before 2001 when Americans and everyone else flew differently, and there may be a number of katanas laying around from parents who traveled abroad and bought souvenirs and then tossed them in the attic without thinking.
I think Ms Obama did mention the 'goldilocks complex'. I feel she was speaking to the "I can't support an imperfect option so I'll avoid voting and ensure the conservatives win even though that's the worst option" crowd.
