There are now more electric cars than gas cars on Norway's roads
  • This is good to know. Sweden’s climate is very close to where I live in the US (a little colder I think) and I know I’ve always thought the tech wasn’t there yet for places that actually have 4 seasons.

    Self-Immolator Matt Nelson Reportedly Alive
  • You are technically correct, which I hear is the best kind. Equating this individuals self-immolation to draw attention to and emphasize the situation in Gaza to someone who is struggling with mental health is disingenuous.

    Every single Wes Anderson movie ranked, worst to best
  • As a casual Wes Anderson fan I feel like this list is organized by general popularity rather than from a hardcore Wes Anderson fan perspective, which in my opinion is a flawed approach. The less generally popular films I’ve been exposed to have been the more enjoyable to me.

    Indiana police have dogs that sniff specifically for cash at the US’s 2nd biggest FedEx hub, then they simply keep the money
  • Since it’s civil asset forfeiture what actually happens is the state/municipality sues to take the money so it has to be fought in court against the state/municipality.

    The problem is the state sues the money directly so the suit itself would be something like Indiana vs. $48,000 or Marion County vs. $48,000. This makes it a lot harder and more expensive to recover your money since they are suing an inanimate object, not the owner directly.

    Civil asset forfeiture laws need to be scrapped and rewritten because this has been going on in the US for years.

    About to turn 30 and dreading my party (kinda). Anyone else over their birthdays but get FOMO for parties?
  • My 40th is in 2 days and my wife has been bugging me for gift ideas and activity ideas. All I wanted (and what’s happening) is a dinner at a restaurant with my wife. She surprised me with a small surprise birthday dinner there early on in our dating and it’s my favorite thing to do for my birthday.

    Georgia shooting: father of teen suspect charged with second-degree murder
  • Was the teenager the owner? Can a 14 year old legally possess a firearm like that independent of their parent(s)?

    I always imagined it was similar to when a parent buys a car and “gifts” it to the child. The car still belongs to the parent, at least until the kid is old enough to take ownership of it.

    Christopher Nolan Calls Zack Snyder’s ‘Watchmen’ a Film ‘Ahead of Its Time’: It Should Have Been Released Post-‘Avengers’
  • Yeah. Basically there’s this on going war, the Ant War, with any like alien creatures. There’s high casualty cost like in Starship Troopers and the main character is infantry. Most infantry only survive a couple drops but he’s done like 60 or something.

    It’s in my queue to read again.

    One in five young Americans think the Holocaust is a myth
  • Allowed is probably a better choice. I know it’s a synonym but it’s simpler terminology. Permissible often gives the impression of permission given, even though no permission is given.

    Greedflation: corporate profiteering ‘significantly’ boosted global prices, study shows
  • Yesterday we were shopping at Target and in the frozen aisle they had a sign for the Favorite Day ice cream sandwiches, “Everyday low price $4.99”.

    The price on the shelf label, $4.69. Whoops!

  • Pretty much the title. I’ve noticed lately that more independent and non-grocery roasters will have 12 ounce bags instead of one pound.

    Is there a special reason for this beyond, I assume, bringing the price of more gourmet-ish coffee to a price point comfortable for the average consumer?

    Also, shout out to King Bean in South Carolina, I love their Capers Blend.
