Joe pye weed?

And that would leave you about eight months to get your affairs in order before it arrived.

Yep. There are various different pieces of legislation in various different stages about trying to better regulate it, but y'know how that goes.

If you found a well-trafficked spot (like a pretty town on a holiday w/e) it could be a lucrative thing, I'm told. But the curing later on was a nightmare: those getting paid to collect were a lot less stringent about making sure signers were eligible/lived in the right area/etc.

It's the gatherers getting paid. Was a big thing a couple of years ago in MI, when we were trying to get abortion and voting rights onto the ballot. You'd have people coming in from neighboring states, with 10+ different petitions on them (sometimes competing sides) trying to chase signatures.

Yes! We will have ice cream and it will be lovely.

I would like that!

I have messages from 12+ months ago that I still need to reply to. People probably think I'm dead 😬

This article describes me awkwardly well, but I considered not posting about it because then someone might reply.

Yes, yes, I know. I KNOW.

Dash is giving strong "my grandmother's Morris 1000 Traveller" vibes and that's a good thing

My strategy of "don't do anything, any time, it'll only lead to heartache" saves me so much stress...

Nothing like fixing one thing that inadvertently breaks three other things! You're just giving yourself more reasons to engage with your hobby 😂

Could you pour a thick soup through the little holes, to dampen the sound of the grommets?

iirc there was a Leaf V2L adapter that output maybe 1,500W (?) from the charge port, while V2H required a specific wall box (and probably car software) that was only offered in certain countries. So while Chademo may support bidirectional theoretically, using it isn't so straightforward, sadly.

Erin you are being a little unfair, the human body does require water and so bringing the water so close to the new apartment building could feasibly count as a public service.

Screencap of Judi Dench in her very disconcerting costume from the movie version of the musical 'Cats' She has gray-blonde fur, ears, and whiskers.

Sir, how dare you, that is Dame Judi Dench fresh from the set of 'Cats'

Think about it as helping someone else have their mtb guy moment. Like a fun big brother/dangerous enabler*

Some people just have a thing for epaulettes, Robbie

*Furious, I yank the tablecloth away, meaning for everything to tumble loudly to the floor, but it whips clean out from underneath. Silence in the restaurant, brittle and sharp. Then, suddenly, everyone begins applauding. I've done it; I've passed the interview. They bring me my free breadsticks*

A sad end to the Volt story, though I guess them buying it back is the best possible outcome in those circumstances. Glad you like the 5! I've always enjoyed driving them when I've had them.

This is why I always refuse water in restaurants. It's clearly a power play by the server: they want to see if my hand shakes while I listen to the specials, to know if they can crank up the so-called "market price" on the catch-of-the-day fish. It's not hydration, it's dining room warfare.

And send pastries.

Excited to see what comes next!

Or just a volume knob. Put a volume knob there!

I fear you've just given one of the streaming providers the inspiration for their latest prestige show 😬

Look at all that space for groceries. This is the perfect urban vehicle, ideal for a single person.

Perhaps I should email them and see if they want to come wash my car for me. They'll have to provide their own materials, though, as I'm no closer to deciding what I should buy than I was an hour ago.

The car is still dirty but at least I have Interacted With Content
