Yep, I voted for Bernie in the 2016 and 2020 primaries. In the general, I voted for the candidate he endorsed. In November, I'll be voting for his endorsed candidate again.

Agreed! Though, unfortunately in this case, Ryan Walters ran on this exact platform and was honest about what he'd be. Oklahoma had moderates, experienced educators, and liberals in the race and they voted overwhelmingly to fuck their public school systems instead.

Hand those charges off to the local DA, charge him with rape, and then revoke his retirement when he's found guilty.

If you have a follower you really care about

spoilerBe careful not to give them too much sin. After 3-4 they turn against you and are lost forever.

This may be a shock to you, but there are other branches of government in the US. One of which is not elected and that's the one that recently struck down Biden's HEROS plan that would have eliminated $460B in student loan debt.

Hang around for a while and one of your followers will bring you quests to do that unlock the new stuff. They first came up to me right after I loaded in, so you may need to reload your save.

He sure is. Remember he invited Trump across the border and told him he was the first president to come over. Trump bragged about that afterwords and talked about opening hotels on the NK waterfront.

Cannot handle cold is a bit extreme. My EV averages around 232 miles of range now (7 years old) charging to 80% is about 185-190 miles of range. When the temperatures dip to into the negatives, I can get about 110-120 miles comfortably (heat on/heated seats, heated wheel). Am I road tripping in that temperature range, no. But a daily commute and cold soaking in the office parking lot is still easily accomplished.

A while back we had a prolonged power outage and our supercharger was pretty backed up with people that couldn't charge at home. My guess is the picture above is a similar situation. People running their cars down and then getting stuck in a supercharger line while their heater sucks down what little power they have left.

I agree, hydrogen technology and anything else that can bring sustainability to transportation is great, but saying one option we currently have available can't work in heat or cold is a stretch.

Except this is Biden's Whitehouse continuing to tell Congress to approve aid and the GOP blocking that. This was the last package the US could provide without further congressional action. That's not likely as long as GOP runs the house. Biden and the Democratic party have been pretty lock step in providing aid.

As much as I hate to admit it, any day Trump is grabbing headlines by being horrible is a good day for the Biden campaign. We had a couple years of relative quiet when he was shunned from social media. People forgot what it was like to have Trump in their feeds 24/7, the elephant in every conversation, and his polls climbed up. The concern is that we'll repeat 2016 and get appathetic thinking "No way this guy wins"

From the ending of season two wrapping everything up and the hints that he may not continue the show, I'm pretty sure Waititi had concluded the show anyway and was ready to move on. I thought the show had already ended honestly.

On top of all that, you have to factor in the development and testing costs for the CVR or FDR too. These are usually off the shelf, previously developed components. A seemingly trivial change like bigger storage suddenly costs several hundred thousand dollars to retest and time to recertify by dozens with agencies around the world. If the regulations have not changed, then there is no reason for to go through that whole R&D process again when the same bought and paid for system works.
