I'm not sure if there are any more expensive "quality" ones that are much better. I figure they all become landfill, or lost in the weeds very quickly.

Better to put that effort and resources into getting us off gas. Anything else is just kicking the can down the road

Didn't know until now he was Canadian until now. Back then I was definitely a Ford bloke, so I was OK with him.

Or make a few yourself. Buy an extension cord and a few plugs, cut

You say it has discs as backup? Then no problem at all. We now have a lot of kms of regen experience to know how effective and reliable it is - so we should know if it works, or not.

An really important thing a lot of people don't realize about Trump is that he doesn't bully people he doesn't think he can bully.

MTG has been in Congress since 2020 & is resigning Jan 5, 2026. I just want to point out one thing.

She spent 5 years attacking the left & never feared for her life.

She spent 5 weeks mildly critiquing MAGA & the backlash is so severe she is resigning.

5 years vs 5 weeks. That says it all.

Greyhound racing's annual bill hits a quarter-billion from taxpayers The cost of propping up the dying dog racing industry hit a quarter of a billion dollars in 2024. And what did taxpayers get? Hundreds of dead greyhounds, with thousands more injured.

Even more reason to ban this terrible and cruel business..

Simply saying Trump is in the files is like saying water is wet - so was he trying to hint at something *really* huge?
Also figuring that the DOGE data downloads might have included all the Epstein, so Elon does know something special?

If you can get it into your mouth, it's edible - so perhaps that wasn't the question you should have been asking.
