@Moon@Arcana Coincidetally enough, I was flipping though the current Guns&Ammo in Barnes and Noble yesterday, where they had a ranking article. Texas was on the border of top 10 somewhere. Remember that it was only 22nd to get Constitutional Carry.
@Moon@graf@TeaTootler@sickburnbro Geo Metro or Suzuki Swift only did 30 mpg. I just flat out refuse to believe claims of 50. They probably could do 33 with insane hypermilling techniques.
@lanodan@genmaicha I don't know if you ever visited U.S., but the attached photo is what middle of nowhere actually looks like in America. It is a motel and a fuel station in Middlegate, Nevada. The Taco Bell we were discussing is nowhere near to the middle of nowhere. It may be 15% into nowhere, if we're generous.
@lanodan@genmaicha It's not in the middle of nowhere obviously. The photo is probably taken from a model window, as the parking light attests. And, you can see the water tank, meaning there's a population center hidden by the mesa. It's like those picture books "find a clue, solve the crime".
@Moon@jeremiah Do you have any examples of DEI people getting fired? In my company we had layoffs a couple of months ago that gutted the program management office, impacted doc writers, and other somewhat useful functions. Even community advocates and outreachy were affected. But not DEI. If anything, they re-emphasized the importance of DEI at a company meeting a week ago (it's now renamed "DEIB" and I don't remember what B stands for). Did your employer fire any DEI officers?
@Moon@animeirl@ebk In all fairness, we're all going to die. BTW, I clearly caught WuFlu because of Pfizer Covid vaxx last year. You know that joke: a conservative is a liberal who's been mugged? That shit turned me from a science weenie into science denier (well, not really, but vaxx is an absolute fraud).
