Well maybe not those stickers as they tend to attract Police attention.
Ken Block came to Detroit several years ago, I suspect because Detroit, actually Dearborn, is the home of Ford Motor Headquarters.
You didn't hear the name Ken Block 25 years ago, his name, his style of driving and entertainment rose to popularity a short time ago, I Google'd that info, a mere 15 years ago. When I watched that video clip you posted, you didn't see stress on his face, a smile could be detected. He was doing what he absolutely loved....
It's actually logical. Sports and television work is regulated very well for safety. They manage safety very strictly. When Steve Irwin was messing with crocodiles, there was probably a team standing close to step in, at the first sign of trouble. When you see Bear Grylls 'surviving', he doesn't do that alone, even if they make it look like that.
Than the predictable risks are minimized and what is left is fluke accidents and what people do in their own time.
I see that even in my own behavior; at work I see safety risks that others don't see, reminding people how to use a ladder or the weight limits on lifting and carrying.
At home, I stand on a desk chair to find something on top of the closet or I move a refrigerator on my own.
The hippo fires back starting about 50 seconds in.

Please continue to surprise us!

Oh, is it too much to ask, will you consider allowing us to keep the snowflakes ❄️ for 3 or 4 days?
Snowflakes, such a nice reminder for us Northerners living South!
So premium members can "make it snow" any time they like, eh? Hmmmmmm.......I hope you receive this in the spirit intended, if I can control that feature, it kind of detracts from it being special and a surprise. Here's my real life example, I like to receive flowers for no reason. Flowers are such an extravagance, they cost much, they make you smile, they smell good and they're not meant to last a long time. IF I received flowers every Friday, although the gesture is appreciated, there's no element of surprise, and could be "taken for granted".
You must have realized that YOU SURPRISED us with your thoughtful gesture and that's what I'm trying to express. I appreciate it when you SURPRISE us with your kindness because I know that you are thinking about us. I hope that I haven't offended you and that you understand what I'm trying to express.
If the "fix" you implemented a difficult fix? Where I'm going with this is that some members might enjoy sending an animated gift, something that would run perhaps 24 hours. Example, Stefan123 just had a birthday. If I had an opportunity to send him flying birthday cakes for a 24 hour period, that would be great. Members like PA-Freddy and Sir-Skittles like to send not so nice gifts, perhaps if there was an opportunity to send floating poo piles or rat's, they would be interested. Just some food for thought.
Clear as mud, right? capisci?
Sending scripted decorations would be hilarious... Like you spend x amount of points, and then Admin adds in the prize! Good be a good one... OR, a bad one!

Thank you democrats
The horn of plenty has a bottom, and we are about to see it.
There is NO way to push capacity up without major energy spend... and that is not going to happen with Brandon's team of muppets
ZERO clue how to goven in the real world. So different when its not some lib college wet dream exercise!
And, if costs are going up, then it's natural for taxes to go up.
Besides, members of my family helped BUILD the damn grid in 3 states. I am probably a little more versed on the grid and how OUT OF DATE it is because it essentially was "finished" in 1990 or so.
Some "lines" as in towers running in a line from a power plant to substations ,only had 1 side used at that time and were able to be updated to another set of lines to double the capablity of that particular line of towers.but now and in the future,the demand will exceed what those wires can carry,and it cost MILLIONS to update that stuff.
Enviromental regulations alone make it all but impossible to put any more 220,000 volt lines in service because of right of way building and such.
Vermont and another state have joined californiated and new york in banning new gas car sales in 2035.
Are you not keeping up with ANY of the news?
Look at California and up north, their grids are strained just to run air conditioning during the summer now.
I wonder why? All the bums in electric cars are wearing the roads out.
Oh,and have you read about the folks that rented a Tesla and had to stop 6 times in 1 day to charge it because of the cold weather? Took longer to charge it than they were able to DRIVE.
Are people willing to give up that much time to save a few molecules of air?
And by the way, profit in power companys? It is difficult to profit when the government breaths down your neck about some coal ash laying in a pile in 1 state and ordered to move it and BURY it in the ground 50 miles away.While in other states,the concrete companys use the coal ash as aggregate instead of stone that has to be mined. Saving the environment in a practical affordable way.

I don't know how much time E-car owners are willing to give up for cleaner air. Do you? Or, better still, why should you care what other people are willing to give up?

In 2021, retail sales of electricity in the United States generated a revenue of 424.3 billion U.S. dollars, a year-over-year increase of nearly eight percent. In comparison to the beginning of the century, the sector's revenue increased by roughly 82 percent.

So, first, everyone pays for roads. Second, who should care except the owners? And, third, power companies do make obscene profits.
