It's a sad sad world...

They toll you just for taking the most direct route to your destination. 99% sure Connecticut's economy only exists because of tolls and speeding tickets. And maybe Rein's deli.

I'm into it. She's borderline slightly too chubby for my personal preference. My wife is built like her but a tiny bit smaller which I think is perfect. Nothing wrong with a bit of a belly because it means she likes my cooking!

I don't think so, I believe each of the 4 favorited time zones are unique.

Yeah but if it didn't cross the road because it was scared, it would be "chicken."

I love Metallica but it's very unlikely I'll have much in common beyond music with someone just because they're wearing a Metallica shirt.

If someone is wearing a Dieselboy shirt, chances are that we probably have a few things in common beyond just music.

I own many, you might be able to guess what type.

I was thinking maybe Pariah but according to my friend who plays drums it's a ride bell and not a cow bell. Is Black Label an actual cow bell? I can't tell just from listening on my phone's crappy speakers.

I'd take a dead social battery in a crowd of people over a dead social battery in a small group of friends. No one in the crowd is going to care if I go silent but when I'm with my friends I feel bad for dropping out of the interaction.

Mayor Lewis' purple shorts.

I follow cycling in the US. Crazy year for both Tadej and Jonas though. WVA and Visma are crushing La Vuelta which is fun to see.

This is a thing in many places in the US as well. Building codes often require a residence to be connected to the grid. Even if you have enough solar to cover all of your electricity needs, the power companies will still charge you a monthly grid connection fee which has gone up in cost as more customers use solar.
