This and the tailgating fkn everywhere. For tailgaters out there: you’re not getting there any faster. Maybe like half a minute? We are going to be stopped at the same red light down the road so just chill man. Use cruise control if you have to. Frame your expectations around the speed limit+5 mph, maybe +10 in the passing lane on the highway. If you’re tailgating me when I’m going over the speed limit, you can bet I’m clicking cruise control down to the actual speed limit and we’re just going slower.

She’s getting downvoted due to lack of credibility from recent activity, reputation, past posts, and conflations, bad arguments and divisiveness. Even if the arguments are on point she’s basically gone so far left she’s spun around right and is borderline condoning political violence. No solutions or ideas are presented just hate and vitriol. Remind you if anyone? RamaTrump 2024

Let me paraphrase; “If everyone doesn’t agree with me they are vile, violent and racist. And if you think we can just agree to disagree and stand by idly then you are complicit”

Pretty sure if you had your way you would be the violent authoritarian my friend. You might feel better if you ate some humble pie, got out of your bubble and try to meet some people. You will find a lot of different perspectives but one important thing in common; we are all just humans doing the best we can. Compassion and love for each other, even in the face of hatred is the way.

We had ours installed in 2019 and it has been a great addition to our home solar (Suncommon). GMP installs it for free and you get on demand backup power with no interruption when the service goes out. We live in Colchester so its rarely out for more than 12 hours , but the two batteries we have totally cover all of our needs for about 24 hours (within reason). GMP makes a point not to draw them down leading up to storms where a power outage is more likely so its the perfect alternative to a generator. So overall, a great experience.

Its interesting to watch how GMP draws the power from them to balance peak demand (primarily in the summer). They then fill them back up when demand is not high. It seems too good a deal to be true but it really is as advertised.

Yup same with my wife’s car. I’ve also flashed people only for them to turn their brights on….whoops sorry friend 😬

What I hate are the jacked up trucks with LEDs in regular projectors so you have two eyes of Sauron blasting at direct eye level in every single mirror. Bonus points if they aren’t secured well and jiggle over every bump.

It is the same apologist BS we see with major religions, There are always the 'good' ones that are held up as beards for the broken/power-mongers who exploit the systems they live within. Do i wish the GOP was full of Scott's? yeah that would be an improvement but unless they reversed course and started making their much esteemed Capitalism work for the common person regardless of ones skills or grit or what-have-you/exploitability id still vote for Democrats generally speaking.

I’ve driven 89 so many times and never seen any road rage or bad driving comparing to what I see where I live.

No really if you think 89 is bad then come drive on any rural highway in Quebec or Ontario and you’ll see that they’re total shitshow’s

They’re full of people doing 60mph in the left lane and people merging onto the highway doing 45mph
