Comment Are Tax Discs (Score 1) 145

The same as registration stickers here in the U.S.?
> Because for a very long time we here just piled the stickers on the plates. Then when a corner got too full you'd pile them on other corners.

Now parking permits are another matter entirely. They are easily replicated and nobody would know the difference.

Comment I tend to do (Score 1) 261

A good 40MPH over the limit on highways. Here in RI most of the highways are 55MPH or 65MPH. But I recall as a kid they used to all be 70MPH.

So I can be found flying down RI-4, or I-95 in a variety of vehicles.

Most recently I had a Subaru Impreza - speedy little beast. I was on I-95N in the left hand lane until I came upon an asshole doing 55MPH there. So I dropped to the right, accelerated. I see headlights behind me while I'm doing 85MPH. It's a State Trooper - he just cuts around me. Didn't even turn the lights or siren on. And the car was in fact RED!

Here in the northeast National Grid is definitely scared. They've started dumping all sorts of money into advertising what a good neighbor they are. I say screw them.

What I'm planning to do is get the hell out of this region anyhow. Can't stand the winters anymore. So where I go - I plan to put up about 4kW to 6kW of panels with a storage array connected. Probably lithium ion but maybe even super cap in an external structure. Then cut the cord completely. Tell them to come and disconnect everything attached to the house that belongs to them, including their meter.
