  • The fuel savings translate into about $600 less in gas costs over the life of a new vehicle, NHTSA projects.

    I don't understand this. Let's be extra safe and say I currently drive a car that gets 30 mpg 15k miles per year and the average fuel price was $3.60. If I switched to a vehicle that got 50 mpg, my savings per year alone would be $720.

    15,000 mi / 30 mi/g x $3.60/gal = $1,800

    15,000 mi / 50 mi/g x $3.60/gal = $1,080

    $1,800/yr - $1,080/yr = $720/yr

    Still being extra safe, let's assume the car only makes it 100k miles, that's a savings of ~$4,800 for the life of the vehicle.

    100,000 mi / 15,000 mi/yr = 6.67 yr

    6.67 yr x $720/yr = $4,802.40

    $4,800 > $600

    Again, this is being safe with a car that is fuel efficient, a person that travels a relatively short amount, and with low fuel prices. What am I misunderstanding??

  • Crazy coincidence then! Someone made a very similar joke yesterday in our meme chat room.

  • I visited Colorado ~4 years ago. I remember thinking the people in Denver were impressively nice, especially us being from Florida. But, once we got to our Airbnb a few miles outside of the city, things were different. The Airbnb owner, while still nice enough to meet with and welcome us to his property, just had to talk about politics. It was that victim complex where he was being told what to do by the liberals and blah blah blah... One of the ways he was getting back at them was by encouraging all visitors to feed the wild deer, something that was allegedly made illegal by liberals to control him. Maybe he thought we would care about his politics and even agree with him because we were light-skinned from Florida, I was in the military, and my traveling partner was a cop, but we had far left political views and never asked him to begin with. It made us not want to talk to him anymore.

  • Fun fact: The Russian Revolution of 1917 went underway when the Russian Navy joined in. I believe it happened just after Bloody Sunday, but I can't find it now. Anyone here remember what the catalyst was for the Russian Navy on some island to join the Russian Revolution?

  • No, but I would love to read up on that. lol , brb gonna do an internet search

    Edit: I couldn't find anything on them crashing during their convoys, but I found a couple that lived out of an RV they decked out in Trump stuff and would sell things out of as their business. The same exact RV was involve into incidents; you can't make this up! In the first one, they stopped in the right lane of a highway early in the morning. Another woman stopped to help them. Their trailer was hit by yet another motorist and killed the woman that stopped to help. In the second incident, which happened recently, they totaled the RV by crashing it into a pole. I hope they stay off of the road because they seem like a hazard (either oblivious or neglectful at the least) and one person already lost their life.

  • I don't know how to on desktop, but on the Voyager app, I can block posts that include whatever words I want. My experience on here has noticeably improved since blocking certain words, like Musk, Trump, and Israel.

  • remember when they were so obnoxious and inconsiderate that they used their wake to sink the boat of one of their own?

  • Fun facts!

    Origin

    The name Marathon comes from the legend of Pheidippides, the Greek messenger. The legend states that, while he was taking part in the Battle of Marathon, which took place in August or September 490 BC,[3] he witnessed a Persian vessel changing its course towards Athens as the battle was near a victorious end for the Greek army. He interpreted this as an attempt by the defeated Persians to rush into the city to claim a false victory or simply raid,[4] hence claiming their authority over Greek land. It was said that he ran the entire distance to Athens without stopping, discarding his weapons and even clothes to lose as much weight as possible, and burst into the assembly, exclaiming "we have won!", before collapsing and dying.[5]

    Modern Olympic marathon

    When the modern Olympics began in 1896, the initiators and organizers were looking for a great popularizing event, recalling the glory of ancient Greece. The idea of a marathon race came from Michel Bréal, who wanted the event to feature in the first modern Olympic Games in 1896 in Athens. This idea was heavily supported by Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympics, as well as by the Greeks.[15]

  • Yep! I was worried when they told me. Having high cholesterol at 37/38 is a bad sign of what's to come. I'm happy it was situational rather than permanent.

  • I don't mean to belittle your feelings about it, but I would find that cute af. There are certainly people around you that would feel the same.

  • One thing I had to learn was that if I asked someone out and they said no or didn't reciprocate wasn't a loss or rejection.

    Not only that, but you dodged a bullet. I thank women when they respectfully reject me. It's awesome.

    Also, think about all the times you were turned down. Does any of that matter now?? Nope. No one involved cares at all if they even remember. I think something that might help with this is for OP to place themselves in a position where they reject others. They could experience the other side and see that it's not a bad thing. It's just that they think it's not for them and nothing else. And even in the rare chance that the rejection is seen as something else by the rejecting person, then even better because that's not just dodging a bullet but dodging an artillery shell.

  • Maybe it's not that you can't be what someone else wants, but that you aren't finding or building relationships with the people that would want you. There are so many people with such vasts tastes, that there is someone for everyone, even serial killers or 40 year olds that dress in diapers. Whatever you are, there are people that are looking for that. It's a matter of finding and building a relationship with them. ♥️

  • What community was that? I want to check the mod log to confirm and then possibly block the community. I don't want to subject myself to a news feed that prevents people from sharing straight facts.
