Speaking of Biden, today I got my letter dated May 6 stating that I would get my stimulus check. That I got a month ago. -- nm - Spawn May 13, 18:01 8
- Stupid unsexy USPS. -- nm - IAmQale May 13, 19:38

- I don't think "on the brink" means what you think it means. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd May 13, 19:30
- except to see how they use Eclipso in Stargirl. I'm not watching anything on the CW anymore -- nm - Peglegpete May 13, 18:42
- honestly, if they own their own shows, can broadcast live and then sell to streamers after for more $$$ it seems a no brainer -- nm - Beaker May 13, 18:02
- The part about the "afternoon block" is fascinating. -- nm - Mop May 13, 18:01

It’s a little bothersome now, but I hope businesses still require masks for a while. Plus I’ll probably wear one where there’s large gatherings. - Tim May 13, 17:21 2
- As I often say: Asia. - Marlowe May 13, 18:01

- Yeah. Time for a hunt. -- nm - Beryllium May 13, 17:41
I haven't been on social media much today. Have many people pointed out that Biden beat the pandemic in less than four months on the job? -- nm - David May 13, 17:15 9
- Hoping that’s actually the case and not one of “Mission Accomplished” - znufrii May 13, 17:45
- Right winger Republicans are stating that Biden is taking all the credit when it was Trump who got us vaccines. 🤷🏻‍♀️ - Pippy May 13, 17:23 7

can I ask an EV question? so like fed tax incentive drops after x number of cars are sold. where do we track how many of a model are sold? - amanda jeans May 13, 16:50 11
- How does the count work? First to claim it gets it? Or the date of the sale? -- nm - Mop May 13, 18:30 1
  - Date if sale. It's apparently by quarter. Ever car sold during the final month of the full credit gets the credit. - TWuG May 13, 18:52
- The credit won't drop for car 250,001, but that 250,000th car triggers the next window to begin - TWuG May 13, 17:35 1
  - But either way, you get the credit in effect when you take delivery -- nm - TWuG May 13, 17:36
- There are places that track it because they have to report quarterly to the feds. - spamlet May 13, 17:09 3
  - oh look at you with a sexy link! thanks! -- nm - amanda jeans May 13, 17:49 2
    - Here's an additional link of all qualified manufacturers. -- (link) - TWuG May 13, 17:53
    - (also mindreading obvs.) -- nm - amanda jeans May 13, 17:51
- Through June 2020. Land Rovers are a safe bet. -- (link*) - mafic May 13, 17:04
- This doesn't answer your question, but my understanding is that the credit is based on total cars sold by a manufacturer, not by model. -- (edited) - znufrii May 13, 16:58 1
  - Total EVs sold, yes. -- nm - TWuG May 13, 17:33

- guys, what everyone is missing in this is that THE NATIONAL WILL PROBABLY TOUR SOON. I think if you just announced that - amanda jeans May 13, 16:23 1
  - I mean, yes. -- nm - Dark Callisto May 13, 16:24
- Of course they’re going to say that’s what they expect to happen. - znufrii May 13, 16:21 3
  - Yeah, there may be a few obligers/rule followers who feel like they need to get the shot... - Dark Callisto May 13, 16:22 2
    - Don't underestimate how effing tuned out and lazy some people are. -- nm - Reagen May 13, 16:32
    - I think you're pretty correct. note that I put my vax card into my wallet JUST IN CASE tonight. I'll make a bunch of copies tomorrow. -- nm - amanda jeans May 13, 16:25
Arlo Parks was not a bottom 10 rows artist in that (11th!) but you should also listen to her -- (link) - Reagen May 13, 16:10 [youtube] 1

Ford is considering in-car ads on your infotainment screen while driving. - TWuG May 13, 16:01 15
- This is very unsurprising. The only nifty new thing is the tech. Ads in taxis have been a thing for a while. -- nm - IAmQale May 13, 17:54
- 5 dollar cars! -- nm - Mop May 13, 16:46
- Easy! Just smash the screen. -- nm* - mafic May 13, 16:44
- I’m out -- nm - Pippy May 13, 16:37 1
  - Also a good Letterkenny bit. -- nm - Beryllium May 13, 16:44
- Fine, I'll just use my phone or tablet instead. (iOS and Android: Guess what!) -- nm - Max May 13, 16:18
- Sure, then they'll charge you $10/mo for the no ads version. -- nm - Strongbad May 13, 16:13
- Sure. That’s not a safety issue at all. -- nm - znufrii May 13, 16:12
- FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU - Reagen May 13, 16:08

  - go vintage. 1950's cars look nice with the fins -- nm - Peglegpete May 13, 17:04
  - Smart is fine. Smart with Ads is a crime. - TWuG May 13, 16:05 3
    - Smart is not fine. Smart makes the buyer the product. -- nm - Beryllium May 13, 16:06 2
      - We may be talking past each other. I use Smart to mean connected to the web. I get that "connected to the web" - TWuG May 13, 18:05
      - (I mean, obviously I mean TVs here, but I don't see why the transitive property wouldn't make it an identical issue.) -- nm - Beryllium May 13, 16:07

- Why was he not vaccinated? -- nm - Pippy May 13, 16:38 1
  - hmmm, He's an anti vaxxer and germ theory denialist (oddly this tidbit was part of a Cracked.com clickbait ad this evening) -- (link) - zeitgeist May 13, 20:32
- I'm trying to think of something politically incorrect to say about this, but I don't care. -- nm - Beryllium May 13, 15:34 2
  - heh -- nm - mud May 13, 15:43
  - He really was such a doorknob licker. -- nm - IAmQale May 13, 15:41

I bet that the reason Irregulars was cancelled was because the demographics didn't align well. - Beryllium May 13, 15:25 3
- the behind the scenes theory? -- nm - mud May 13, 15:44 1
  - From streaming into the void. They suggested that something behind the scenes - difficulties, controversies, etc - made it easier to cancel it -- nm - Beryllium May 13, 15:46
- Highly Irregular -- nm - budice May 13, 15:26
What happens if you ignite a gunpowder milkshake? -- nm - Beryllium May 13, 15:15 3
