My daughter came to us on the first day of school telling us that one of her teachers had a cross and a Bible quote on the wall. I didn’t want to get my daughter into trouble by letting the principal know about it myself since they would attach my name to it and she might face retaliation.

Yeah in the US private schools can and do teach literally anything, I was told evolution was fake constantly growing up, even when I took AP biology in 9th grade the teacher made sure to constantly clarify that she had to teach us evolution for the AP exam but it was absolutely fake and to come talk to her if we ever started to think it was real. Insanity.
Yeah I never was super into the whole religion thing from the get go, I believed it bc it was convenient but never really thought or cared about it all that much. Around 8th grade. a year before the bio class, I was just reading Wikipedia until I stumbled across a page on human ancestors (Australopithecus iirc). I found it both very interesting and kind of creepy and made me rethink things, either take the word of my teachers or look at all this actual evidence presented as fact by something as trustworthy as Wikipedia. Not long after that I stopped believing all together, but I still put on a mask and graduated from that Christian school.
Yeah but that wasn’t the case in previous decades. Environmentalists have protested just about every nuclear power plant opening for the last 60 years. It might even still happen if we bothered to open more plants.
I think leasing an ev can make a lot of sense for many people, especially considering the biggest problem with evs (imo) is battery degradation over time. You get a pristine new EV with max range and the dealership or leasing agency gets to deal with it when that battery inevitably stops storing a full charge. I’m not normally in favor of leasing vehicles and have never done it myself but I could see this working out.
A lot of old trucks had exhausts that come out the side. A lot of people (mostly older in my experience) prefer the look, but it wouldn’t shock me of some people put those pipes on their trucks specifically to fuck with bicyclists.
