I legitimately don't understand what's happening here - was his car repossessed or something?

Obligatory Red Flags

As someone who has worked for a number of transmission companies, $1.3 Billion dollars is a laughable investment. Duke Energy spent the better part of last year trying to find $54 Billion for it's capital investment projects.

Most electric transmission companies in the US spend this much on capital projects on an annual basis. I like the idea of investing in our infrastructure but this is money wasted

Real talk here. My company used McKinsey in the utilities sector and they were paid millions to come in and lean out our processes. The result was that half of the consultants got moved to other projects, our internal processes got fucked with no clear improvement, and McKinsey walked away with millions. Their biggest contribution was death by PowerPoint.

Haha oh boy. Good luck to that guy in that struggle. Can't wait for the arguments around them stealing his car since there's no lien

Great gas mileage if you don't mind the road noise

NGL it's pretty damned impressive how you made a gif from this. Is there an AI video renderer out there or did you feed a bunch of picture prompts into a generator and create it that way? However you did it, fantastic job!

I don't know if you've seen it, but someone does a Chief O'Brien comic about the absurd events he gets into.

Gotdammit I love you. Your responses to that douche warm my heart.

Worst case scenario there's always your husband

It's always something new with these motherfucking mimics

Gum gum pisser?

Tom Cardy is a bit obscure but boy does it feel good to drop one of his songs at the right time! The set up was too perfect, so thanks for posting about Human Centipede!

I personally like NLT Media's offerings. I'm currently playing through the Genesis Order and recently finished Treasure of Nadia and enjoyed the stories for the series.

Other winners for me include A House in the Rift, What a Legend, and Mythic Manor as a somewhat distant third. There are plenty of games with engaging stories but I'm drawing a blank atm.

IIRC, one of the biggest reasons the state promotes monogamy is because our legal system is designed for two-party disputes and isn't well equipped to handle deviations from that. Consider what divorce proceedings would look like in this new social system with our current legal system - what is already a protracted process would be exponentially longer.

If you wanted to escape from these kinda of situations from a state viewpoint, you'd need to rebuild the legal system to handle the new interactions. I'm not making a value judgement but rather speaking to the mechanical aspects of changing a social norm with widespread effect.

I saw both this pic and your bikini one - you don't need to worry at all about how you look. Seriously!

Not gonna lie - it looks great. Just wondering what the price point for this will be. I feel like it might be in a weird spot - you can get ebikes from Honda for under $1k and if you flirt with anything higher than $5k you start to compete with gas bikes. Hopefully it's priced in a good range there to be competitive.

How does one join the Riker clan?

Oof. I'm a Kraken fan, but they looked so lost out there. Toronto picking their pockets all game and making them spend so much time in the D zone. Not sure what the fix is, but it seems like guys didn't know where to send the puck next, as of the team hasn't gelled yet. Hopefully they find their rhythm down the stretch.

Sorry about that - not well versed on the difference between the classes. I originally thought an ebike was a bike with an electric motor attached, but I've seen quite a few articles about wheeled conveyances that I wouldnt classify as a bike being called one. My bad
