Someone that I love might be going to jail.

Like the others have said, need more details.

I have a very big family and it seems we are split between honorable and criminal. I have relatives that are major contributors to society and others who are a bane to society.

As far as not being in your life, that sucks but there are ways you can keep in touch. Like JOAT said, sounds more like prison as opposed to jail.

Try to get on their visitor list. Not sure if you have to be a relative but if so, lie and say you are a cousin. Or get married and enjoy conjugal visits. you can always put money on their books so that maybe they'll call you every now and then. Collect calls from jail/prison cost more than normal so get ready for a big bill.

i will say this. i had to visit my bro in prison. at the time i didn't have a car and I had to borrow a car.

we only had like 2 hours, out in the open court yard, just like on MSNBC. after going thru the pat down and checking me like a 97 SAAB, i go in and see him.

I bring him a newspaper and he wanted to see how the Cardinals were doing in baseball since that is our fav team.

as he starts to read, i go into big brother lecture mode. he puts down his paper and walks away. i had been there all of 10 mins after driving 2hrs to see him.

i realized that hearing a lecture was the LAST thing he wanted to hear. we basically had to start from scratch on being brothers again.

BEST thing that could have happened to either of us. everything was stripped down to just he and i talking about whatever.

there is a reason the phrase blessing in disguise still holds true.

I've known her since I was 16 (I'm 22 now). We've never dated even though I had a chance when I was 18. We have a very strong relationship though. We are definitely each others best friend. I've never failed to be there for her. I've actually bailed her out of jail with my money before. She also has never failed to be there for me. When my four year relationship ended (with someone that I had loved at one point) she really pulled me together.

The jail time is all traffic stuff. She isn't a bad person at all; she just keeps running into cops when you shouldn't be running into cops.

    • Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
