My apologies if this has already been suggested.

There is a chip shortage because all the capacity is being used to make chips to go in the vaccines!

BMW driver just bought a Nissan?

How long will this owner keep his new Nissan?

or whenever it is deemed feasible, whichever comes later

Headline is clickbait and false.

California is banning the sale of small gasoline engines in mowers and other equipment. Not banning existing engines.

Hi,

I'm Bison78. My name came about because I was searching for a name to use in a Jalopnik article about weird armored vehicles. Over on Jalopnik, my avatar picture is that of a Bison Armored Vehicle.

I own the extremes of cars: a '57 MGA and a Tesla Model 3. Both are great cars, but in different ways.

@nickhasanexocet said in Michael Flynn is at it again...:I find it kind of hard to blame conservatives (which these people WERE before this) since conservatives rarely-if-ever are the change makers. Their natural state is status quo, so there's a radicalization amongst conservatives,

Yes, they would prefer the country to go back to before the civil rights era, when they could openly use the "n-word".

What does Oppo think about this?

The moment vaccination became a political issue, we all lost.

I really don't understand how right-leaning outlets are still pushing anti-vax lies at the same time almost all right-wing politicians are vaccinated.

The thing you have to understand about most IT people is that they don't necessarily know more about IT than you, they are just better at using Google to find solutions to problems.

If I had my 2021 income in 2013 when I moved here, I MIGHT have had a shot but I was making less than half what I make now.

When I had the chance, I went for it, even though it meant that I was very stretched at the time. It worked out very well for me.

@dipodomysdeserti

What about people with mental health issues?

I've had strangers walk up to me as essentially go "so, fuck republicans, am i right?".

Wow! I have never experienced that and I live in a very left-wing part of California (but also one where there are more than the average number of non-citizens).

We do have one local family that are public about their conservative politics near me: the only lawn sign relating to the recall that I saw in the neighborhood was one encouraging people to recall Newsom.

@derp

We are well past that part. Lots of people are not allowed to own handguns already.

@ranwhenparked said in Column Shift! Column shift!:

@whoistheleader Console shifters are pointless wastes of space for automatic transmissions that only get touched twice in a trip to move between P and D and back again.

Even more so when the shifter is fully electronic and worse still on an EV (looking at you Nissan).

@nickhasanexocet

How much was a house when you bought the Jag and the Exocet?

@nickhasanexocet said in Small engine gasoline engines will be illegal in California starting in 2024:

I am sick of paying rent and can't afford a house here.

And yet you drive a Jag.

@derp

I was specifically referring to part of the 2nd amendment. There is no similar language in the 1st.

@cobrajoe said in Ban Archery:

No offense, but a weekend course for a conceal and carry permit is not enough to become proficient with a firearm.

Since the 2nd amendment references militias, it's my suggestion that the states organize and mandate regular militia training for gun owners.

@nickhasanexocet said in Small engine gasoline engines will be illegal in California starting in 2024:

Have you ever had friends?
Have you ever liked a job?
Have you ever had a good living situation?
It's really not that complicated. Sorry if you've not had these things.

So why move at all? You appear to have a good life in California.
