Dude cobra chicken is the most accurate nickname I've ever heard. A Canadian goose almost made me piss myself because I came across one probably nesting in some reeds and it hissed at me. I thought it was a cobra before remembering it's way too cold here for cobras.

There’s an even better name: whispers flying cobra chicken

I thought that was the shitty Netflix spinoff of the Karate Kid

Never subbed to Netflix so don’t know the shows there, but that exists, that’s funny as hell.

I just thought the “flying” part was apt when I heard it cause chickens don’t stay in the air for long enough to be a menace.

Cobra's can stay airborne for hours at a time.

Why is this pic outside a Polestar dealership?

I had same question! Seems polestar built right next to tesla, probably made sense at the time but unfortunate for them now. White building is polestar under construction.

I see. Well, when t'la closes they can take over the space. I know a couple who runs a food delivery service in town, using used ev's bought cheap. Last time I talked with them, maybe last summer, they said they were on their 14th personal EV, the most recent purchase being a Polestar. They seemed quite happy with it, and dang, they've tried a lot of EVs so that says something. Also I'll note that their delivery cars get driven to near zero and charged to full 100% without any harm to the batteries.

It's actually an old Honda dealership that was split up.

You just wait for the temps to go into the teens, you'll see the lazy hosers come out at the dealerships.
