We picked up a 12 year old civic hatchback before Covid for 5k and it was in immaculate like-new condition, low miles. It got totaled right after our other car’s engine finally wore out. I then found a 10 year old Toyota for 16k. It was the lowest price in a 200-mile radius for cars/small trucks with under 150k miles on them that weren’t limping/totaled/savaged.
It was fucking flabbergasting.
I guessed I’ve missed that so far. Who?
The CPUC did not respond to NBC Bay Area’s request for comment but has previously said the proposal is meant to enhance solar consumer protections and would only apply to future customers.
I would be thrilled to hear the mental gymnastics used to get from “enhanced solar consumer protections” to “pay us for the energy you produced”.
And global warming, and economic policy, and generally accepted medical practices, and immigration, and religious rights, and gun violence, and and and
In fact I’m usually quite shocked when anything comes out of their caucus that can loosely be interpreted as the truth.

Disclaimer: I can’t vouch for the factuality of any of it. It’s just the top search results.
Well now you made me go and google it. Some snippets from the top results:
Evolution. Most female mammals have an estrous cycle, yet only ten primate species, four bat species, the elephant shrew, and one known species of spiny mouse have a menstrual cycle. As these groups are not closely related, it is likely that four distinct evolutionary events have caused menstruation to arise.
Also:
To understand why menstruation evolved, we have to think of it as a by-product of spontaneous decidualisation. In most mammals, decidualisation – the thickening of the uterine wall – is controlled by the embryo: it occurs in response to fertilisation rather than in preparation for it. In menstruating species like humans, spontaneous decidualisation is one way the parent tries to wrest back dominance of their uterus from an increasingly invasive embryo. The uterine lining now responds only to the parent’s hormones rather than the embryo’s, and the parent controls whether or not they get pregnant. They put their defences up preemptively, by sealing off the main blood supply from the endometrium before the embryo implants there. Not content with this, the embryo evolved to burrow through the endometrium until it reaches the arteries, where it tears through the wall and rewires the blood vessels so that it can bathe directly in the parent’s blood. The (arguably) ungrateful parasite pumps out hormones to make the arteries expand around it, and paralyses them to prevent the parent from cutting off its supply. It produces more hormones, which act directly on the parent to maintain pregnancy and increase the availability of nutrients. The parent defends themselves as best they can: their endometrium fights against the embryo’s invasive proteins, their immune system attacks the invading cells, and their own hormones try to counteract those of the embryo. The tug-of-war rages on.
Well that’s just metal af.
Option 1) An on/off switch for my uterus without medical intervention. Periods are bullshit.
Option 2) Night vision for my eyeballs so I can dodge dog toys during midnight bathroom ventures.
My industry has largely moved to uniforms. I say we get them all coveralls and be done with it. It’s a job, not a fashion show.
A suggested edit:
But has now divorced him in favor of a Democrat-aligned LGBTQ-supporting, drag show-hosting bar owner who was groping her in the theater she was kicked out of. She was also giving him a handy.
This brings me joy and I want to make sure her support network is fully aware of it.

That’s probably the most apt description I’ve heard yet.
I wonder how the “I just want to live my life” crowd squares that mindset with republican policies. Because so far the only people fucking with my life have been the republicans. No you cant smoke weed, yes you must have a baby, go fuck yourself for healthcare, but here’s some tax cuts! (Just kidding, those are only for the rich people). Also, I hope you like video because we are banning alllll the books.
Have you seen what the cops here do to handcuffed people already on the ground? You’re fucked either way, may as well try to stay in a defensive posture with the ability to (try to) ward off physical attack.
Also, police confrontations aren’t known for creating calm environments. People make rash and sometimes unreasonable decisions when they are scared or feel threatened.
It’s also my birthday! But no relaxation for us, I invited everyone over to help me build a giant patio cover in exchange for a steak dinner. I’ll consider not breaking my back a wonderful present.
Wunderground FTW! It also lets me tap into my local home weather station, as well as those of my nearby neighbors and the weather forecasting is far superior to whatever the hell came with my phone.
“Safeguards” lol. In America, gun safety lock is safeguard enough.
Found in western North America from the Pacific Northwest to central California. Which the name was a dead giveaway for because everything over here has that dude’s name stamped on it in some form or another.
We went to a county show, they asked veterans to stand, no one did. Our child even nudged us to be recognized. We met in the military and live in red country, very rural. We stayed sitting.
We don’t have the right to ask children to do this any more.
