Sunday Overnight Open Thread (1/21/24)

Quote I

“[Trump] has my endorsement because we can’t go back to the old Republican guard of yesteryear -- a repackaged form of warmed-over corporatism -- that Nikki Haley represents. The days of putting Americans last, of kowtowing to large corporations, of caving to woke ideology, are over." FL Gov. Ron DeSantis

Quote II

“As you approach a full charging location, your EV (of any make) connects to the charging location and enters itself into a virtual queue, with entry to the queue dependent upon close geographical proximity. Drivers then park in an available normal parking spot, and only when prompted, proceed to plug in and charge. If a driver attempted to charge before their turn, the chargers would simply not communicate with the vehicle..” GreenBiz transportation writer Vartan Badalian

Quote III

Electric vehicles fail at a lower rate than gas-powered cars in the extreme cold, according to a road assistance service in Norway.

Electric vehicles often get bad press about their performance in the cold. Just yesterday, we reported on dead Tesla vehicles piling up at supercharger stations across Chicago.

It now looks like the extreme cold conditions have affected the chargers themselves rather than the vehicles, according to local sources.

Colorado do-gooders are on their way to ban mountain lion hunts. That should prove interesting in years to come.

Colorado Cancels Spring Mountain Lion Hunt Ahead of Vote to Ban

Last week, the Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) Commission made the unanimous decision to cancel the April mountain lion hunting season and further prohibit the use of electronic calls statewide. This move comes in the middle of the current mountain lion season, which runs from November to March. The changes are slated to take effect on March 1 and will affect the units that have an additional April season.

It should be noted that the current harvest falls well within the established quotas set by CPW and is not made in reaction to any quotas being met or exceeded.

Man Tried To Swap Drugs For Fried Pickles
Cops: Suspect, 25, busted for Buffalo Wild Wings barter bid

JANUARY 19--The Buffalo Wild Wings had closed late Sunday when Justin Carpenter pulled up to the Lawrence, Indiana restaurant around midnight looking for food.

Fried pickles, to be exact.

In an ill-advised bid to get the kitchen reopened, Carpenter, 25, proposed a barter exchange to B Dubs employees, two of whom were minors. As alleged by police, Carpenter “offered drugs to Buffalo Wild Wings workers in exchange for fried pickles.”

Carpenter--who was wearing an ankle monitor as a result of a prior drug arrest--offered marijuana, cocaine, Ecstasy, and vape cartridges containing THC, according to workers interviewed by cops. Carpenter, accompanied by a male friend, reportedly declared, “If you make us some fried pickles, I’ll make it worth it.”

Employees did not agree to the drugs-for-pickles trade and Carpenter departed the Buffalo Wild Wings. Before leaving, though, investigators charge that Carpenter left three small bags of marijuana on the restaurant’s front counter, and told a manager, “Give those bags to the kids.”
