Despite the fact Toyota has been one of the slowest legacy automakers to adopt electric vehicles, it may end up being the first to forgo gas-only-powered cars completely. The automaker is apparently moving to convert most, and eventually all (probably), of Toyota and Lexus’s line-ups to hybrid-only models. Suggested...

And, they're right at home here in South Carolina.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

Only 1 full-size truck never needs premium gas

America’s highways and bridges rely on taxes collected on gas for their upkeep. But as electric vehicle sales take off, lawmakers are worrying that the substantial revenue stream, used to maintain our deteriorating infrastructure, is slowly dwindling. Policymakers are now finding ways to make up for this deficit, but one of those solutions could hinder EV adoption if not executed properly.

A good pizza sauce makes ALL the difference in the flavor and end result of your dish. Personally, I've not found any commercially processed pizza sauces that don't taste.... fake, so I made my own. I'm not a huge fan of tomatoes in a can as they tend to taste a bit metallic, but you use what you've got and it's 1000 times better than storebought. Fresh tomatoes are in season right now though, so if you can get them fresh, more power to ya!
