Each car needs a separate policy, but if you get all your policies through one company they are likely to throw a discount at you for multiple cars. OTOH, it also means if you get in an accident or get a pile of tickets your rates will probably go up on all of them. And, of course, you probably don't need collision on a shitbox car that's paid off.

It may also make a difference what you use them for. They may give you a lower rate if they know it is not used daily. I know someone with an old 60's-era Mustang, he has it on a special policy that is much cheaper because it's for classic cars only. But there is a limit to how much he can drive it in a year before his rates go up. It's basically for old cars that you only drive to car shows or just to show off, and keep off the road entirely in the winter.

Don't you think he looks tired?

So, as long as some humans are successfully making new humans, whether or not the rate is exactly 2.3 is irrelevant. World population has been skyrocketing for the past 100 years. It wouldn't be the worst thing in the world for that to backslide a bit. It can probably go down 5x and we'd still feel like the place is crowded.

The only thing to worry about is some widespread event that affects fertility workdwide. Like what if these micro plastics are really getting into our testicles and reducing sperm counts? They are getting everywhere. If men everywhere started shooting mostly blanks then we would all be in a panic.

It's super cheap, though, so a good fit for young people with no money who can withstand its famous effects on your bodily functions.

They want to confuse things to normalize coups. "Jan 6 was no big deal because Democrats stage coups too."

Joe Morelle has been doing awesome lately. No doubt fueled by late-night Garbage Plates and Genny Cream Ale.

Yes, but only for Republicans. See, there is no "R" in the word Invalidate, but there is a "D". Checkmate, liberals! You can't logic your way out of that one!

.... and then got him convicted on charges of illegally possessing a weapon. Must have been massive.

Well, if the choice is between being perceived as a creep vs watching the kid get hurt, I'll pick the option that doesn't end with an injured kid. But if the kid is just wandering and not in danger, like I said, there's no reason to intervene, for just the reason you listed.

It all comes down to a lack of empathy. These people made their own life choices that worked out for them personally, but can't get their head around the notion that other people can make different life choices (or have the choice made for them due to circumstances beyond their control).

It's like they perceive only one path to happiness - the path they took - and look with disdain on anyone who is doing it differently.

I'm sure Vance read Aniston's story and was secretly thinking to himself "Hah! That's what you get when you promote your career over your family", while booking several campaign trips which will take him away from his kids for weeks at a time.

Like, physically block them from going in the road by walking in front of them and say "Hey, is that your mommy over there? Go to her".

 

The phrase “TRUMP TOO SMALL” stems from a memorable moment in the 2016 Republican presidential debates, during which Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., made a crude joke about the size of Trump’s hands.

“And you know what they say about guys with small hands,” Rubio quipped.

 

Biden’s campaign proposed that the first debate between the presumptive Democratic and Republican nominees be held in late June and the second in September before early voting begins. Trump responded to the letter in an interview with Fox News digital, calling the proposed dates “fully acceptable to me” and joked about providing his own transportation.

 

Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) scolded Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) during a closed-door GOP conference meeting Thursday, telling the Florida Republican to sit down when he tried to interrupt McCarthy’s remarks.

Hi all! I'll be visiting with my family soon. I go to San Jose/Santa Clara often for work, but this will be my first time in the area as a tourist in 20 years. Were have 3 days planned for San Francisco on the trip, from a hotel near SFO. We have a rental car, and are 5 people, so it may make sense to drive. The hotel isn't walkable to BART or Caltrain, so if we were going to take those into the city we'd have to park at the station anyway. (South San Francisco would probably be the closest station).

I'm planning to park the car for the day and take the MUNI most places, since it's free for teens. Any suggestions on safe garages? I don't mind paying to make sure the car is secure. If there's a good garage around Union Station, that may be the best bet because we can get anywhere. But it might be nice to park closer to the Presidio for the day we do things there.

Any suggestions? My coworkers who live in the Bay Area think I'm crazy to take a car into SF at all, but surely there are some safe places to park?

We're a bunch of nerds, and will hit up the Exploratorium. (We have a fourth day planned at the Chabot Center and Berkeley, and other days further afield). Any other suggestions for nerdy things to see would be appreciated. (We already have the Wave Organ on the list....)

Thanks!
