Yes an express toll lane like others have said - but it's also (likely) a contraflow lane as well: in the morning traffic flows into the city, in the afternoon it flows out.
I don't give a fuck to fight in front of some fucking billionaires and rich people that could give a shit less about me. Probably throwing parlays. Fuck you guys."
I mean, I appreciate him taking a stand here. But I'm not really sure what he thinks his day job even is? MMA ticket prices for floor seats can be around $1,500, options up into the $10,000 range.
It's funny - before I actually clicked that link, I assumed it was Sony bricking PSP devices with custom firmware. I'd entirely forgotten they put ROOT KITS on their music CDs. They didn't get in near enough trouble over that.
What was it that in 2015 had you doubting them already? The master plan was public at that point. That was the year they released the Model X - a pretty good year for them after some development hell. I definitely thought there was a lot to be excited about back then. Not invested, just excited about their cars and hoping for a model 3 in my near future. I'm fully off the wagon now of course, but they had a LOT of success 2015-2018, when that continued hard with the model 3.
Princess Diana's death, for sure. I remember my mother being absolutely distraught, and I didn't understand why. We're not British and I'd literally never hear of her (from my mother or otherwise) before her passing and funeral were news. The funeral took place in the middle of the night and I remember her being up super early to watch (and I eventually woke up and joined her).
I'm surprised it was 1997, I would have figured it was '95ish. Can't believe that's the first news story I can remember. But we definitely were NOT a news household. Nobody reading the newspaper, no local news on at night or cable TV news on TV all day.
I feel like this is a shared, universal male experience... But peeing outside of a toilet, everything turns into a target. A tree, a rock, a wall. Hell, the toilet itself, a urinal especially, was already a target. I could be mistaken about how Universal that is... or you don't have a penis and I don't know how to properly explain myself on this one.
So you read all of that, and came away with "checks out"? If they were technically correct, maybe. But the way their post was stated, they implied the colonies were freaking out over a tax cut that benefited them. Instead, it was the age old tradition of cutting taxes for the wealthy and continuing to tax the Americans disproportionately.
I haven't read every single comment, but yours is the first I've found that eliminates presidential immunity. One of the most important things we can do is close up all the loopholes these vile billionaires have located and abused and this is definitely a big one. Use the powers granted to the president to codify real progress, then shut down the ability for a president to crown himself king permanently and throw away the key.
I never did get too into PVP - I did enough arena to get a bunch of low hanging achievements and always enjoyed the occasional casual battleground, especially when there was a lot of downtime between patches... But otherwise PVE was my jam.
I think it's a pretty easy call for me - World of Warcraft raiding was some of the most fun I've ever had gaming. The pinnacle was probably when my guild got Realm First! Fall of the Lich King (25-man heroic). We spent MONTHS grinding away at it - we had the 10-man realm first achievement as well and could clear heroic with a variety of group comps, 2 or 3 groups per week would run on off-raid nights. But for 25-man heroic, we could clear the rest of the raid in 2-3 hours as I recall, so we'd take some swings at him on night 1 and then we'd spend 2 full raid nights on The Lich King - the final boss of Ice Crown Citadel raid and in fact the final boss of the Wrath of the Lich King expansion.
For SEVEN months we did this. He was tough af. He had a number of abilities where a single person fucks up and either the whole raid wipes immediately, or it rapidly snowballs out of control otherwise. So after a month's long uphill fight, and with competing guilds just as close as we were, it was an INSANE moment when we got our realm first kill. It was such a ridiculous high, everyone screaming with relief and excitement. The realm second kill happened that same night, too - so we just narrowly managed to earn our server first kill.
We continued with realm firsts in the Cataclsym expansion on Sinestra, Ragnaros, and Deathwing. I got my first and only legendary weapon - Dragonwrath this expansion. And finally the Mists of Pandaria expansion was the beginning of the end for our guild as a lot of long time players like myself started falling off, so after earning #1 for the first raid tier, things slipped from there. I had a ton of personal victories in game too - after earning Dragonwrath, the most esteemed of all was earning the achievement Insane in the Membrane.
And yet - none of those other victories remotely compared to that first kill of the Lich King. It was truly a special moment.
Yeah - there is a toggle on one of the tables that let's you indicate your energy costs and gas costs as lower or higher than average, but even that didn't bring the cost down low enough to my actual TOU pricing. But even WITH elevated costs, electric is still looking pretty good in most cases. Public charger costs are completely out of control and so that looked about as good as could be expected.
He thinks we're both the same. Problem is, violence comes predominantly from the right - that's why they did exactly what he wanted, and why the left is not. That, and education I guess.
