Seriously, go to the doctor. Call Geico while you wait and inform them this hit and run is now an injury hit and run.

the other option is that Michigan becomes a contested territory in the coming water wars and we get annexed by Texas but then California invades

Any war that involves CA vs TX will be a sad and short war for Texas, so keep your powder dry, friend, and your Golden State liberators will be there soon. I'll put in a good word for you.

It was mostly a joke, but CA's annual GDP is +$1 billion on TX's. You can also grow food beyond cattle and tumbleweeds in CA, and in the ideas race, Silicon Valley vs Deregulated Placement of Fertilizer Storage Facilities is a no-brainer.

Additionally, CA controls the means of production of porn.

The joke was about water wars. There's a national geographic documentary called "Water & Power: A California Heist" which kinda details how it has already started.

Basically, the people they put in charge of the water are also the people who own the biggest farm in California, and they decided that they need to grow almonds at 1 gallon of water per almond before the people who live in towns in the San Joaquin Valley get any.

So yeah, California can grow food right now. Once the water wars really kick off? probably not.

Oh, I agree and have a hard time thinking "turning off the water while I'm brushing my teeth" has much effect on conservation what with a Snapple/Dr. Pepper bottling plant using 1m gallons of freshwater a day having been built in an actual desert solely to enable state republican politician grift by promising JERBS to sadsacks in Victorville, CA too - but given that CA's current policy (as seen in that documentary) is 'Get Our Water, By Hook Or By Crook' using money, influence, and the god-given ability to bully the nobody states that surround it, I don't know that this is going to change a lot once legitimate hostilities kick off.

Plus we have to fight Civil War II: Guns Guns Guns!!! first, we'll see how much waterbearing territory the New California Republic ends up with after that.

Indiana vs California Taco War, another easy-breezy win for CA. We can probably even beat Indiana's meth. I know for drat sure we're killing it on weed.

Did we bomb Texas? I know I'm young, but I think I would've heard about that

No, it was like that when we bought it from the Mexicans.

So I bought another car to join the M3 because I happened to look at craigslist yesterday, It's a '92, 68k miles, 1 old-man California owner, no rust anywhere. Everything mechanical works like it was 1995, even the radio/power antenna work. Has new tires, the original key, no shithead PO's, $3800 out the door. Pulls hard and strong and I'm wondering how come no one around here ever mentions how good Miatas are. Look at those motherfucking wheels, they're glorious.

commuting words

Sounds like classic "Hey this racer bike is supposed to be faster than all the cars whenever I feel like it so what is this bullshit, gently caress this M3-haver for dispelling that notion in my head".

Also here in lanesplit-legal California, I see a lot of riders acting entitled to making every other vehicle get out of their way while riding semi-recklessly (blasting along splitting at 50mph while traffic is moving at 8mph, weaving between lanesplits, etc), because reducing the biker's commute home should be the key goal for everyone, shouldn't it?

We've played 150ish games this season across both modes and have only run into one set of blatant hackers, the devs have really fixed a lot of the cheating/hacking issues in the last couple patches.

We have roughly equal dinners between TPP and FPP, but I like TPP because the unintentional hilarity that is PUBG vehicles is best appreciated in third person clips IMHO.

Also you can't see yourself and what's the point of looking this outstanding if you can't see yourself.
