Oh no, I wasn’t trying to disprove your point at all! Just showing how extreme the situation needs to be to justify a suit. From what I remember most of the guests didn’t wear a suit either, but I can totally see it being a thing on the east coast.

Also Colorado. Granted, covid didn’t give me much opportunity here but I wore a suit this summer for the first time in about 5 years. It was a wedding and I was the officiant 🙃

Assuming not-Montana US, you can be fired for any reason other than membership in a protected class (race, religion, etc). Attending an ice cream social, even a company one, is not a protected class.

Used Bolts are a hell of a bargain right now, especially with the tax credit. I have an EUV Premier and that’s got a lot of little things that add up to a really nice car (ventilated seats!)

The only catch is slow DC fast charging (some older ones don’t even have that). No problem at all for commuting and short trips out of town (living in southern Denver, I can easily go to Colorado Springs on a charge) but you need to know what you’re getting yourself into for longer trips

Sometimes I feel out of place here 😕

There’s a difference between “I know we’re not your employer any longer, but you’re still forbidden from this thing” and “hey, I know we’re all kind of disappointed and emotions are hot right now. What people say to the media can come back to haunt us. Please don’t do that, especially if that’s not your area of expertise, as it may have implications in the next election”

Organize for what, exactly? A big reason he shouldn’t be in office is because he incited an insurrection on January 6 to overturn an election. Any kind of organization to prevent him taking office would also be an attempt to overturn an election.

If you have a different goal in mind, I’m all ears. But I’ve been crying that democracy and elections are sacred and I’ll be damned if I’m going to change my mind because it’s gone the other way.

It’s not even a crime, it’s a civil lawsuit they filed

Honestly, I’ve been kind of wondering what his tea leaves read. I’m not sure about everything he’s predicted, but he was right about Trump in 2016 and the predicted red wave in 2022 being a dud.

Are you talking about nationally, the recent Iowa poll, or something else? Because Trump has never won the national popular vote but still made his way into office

My favorite is “do you know the difference between a millionaire and a billionaire? About a billion dollars”

Like, being a millionaire is a pretty sweet spot to be in if you’re lucky enough. Not quite like a millionaire of decades ago but still good. But if you’re a billionaire, a million dollars is basically a rounding error.

Except My Cousin Vinnie

Is “breaks silence” the “slams” equivalent in headline writing when someone gives an opinion?

It’s a solution in search of a problem. And boy are they searching.

Isn’t he supposed to be banned from NY?

Honest question: huh?

Hmmm. Do pineapple and anchovies go together?

Oh, I misread your comment to say that he named himself that because he’s not a god, like there was some back story or something!

Absolutely agree that what he said is more important than the stage name used when saying it

As someone who just hasn’t heard of him before his interview with Kamala, could you tell me the point? Genuinely curious.

Speaking of doing research, thoughts?

The big question is if you can charge at home. Depending on the car, it’s feasible to do so on a normal outlet if you drive ~30 miles or less per day. A 240 volt outlet can be a game changer on top of that though. My setup charges my car 0-100 in about 6 hours (you know, overnight, when I’m not doing anything and electricity is cheapest). But if I were in an apartment and had no access to overnight charging I’d consider other options.
