So many words. So few photos. Is this AOL dial-up?

Function over form.

The US House of Representatives is the children’s table of the legislative branch. They are immature partisan sensationalists, who pass bills to just make political statements. The adults in the room are in the Senate, and this bill will never pass there and so will never become law, at least in it's current state.

Someone needs to take about a hundred of these to some small south Pacific Island and arrange them in lines to really confuse archaeologists 500 years from now.

So DeJoy got something right with these new trucks; doesn’t erase his fuckery prior to the last election. He’s gotta go.

aircraft tire SME here, and came to post this. In my field we refer to the release plugs you mention as “fuse plugs”. Blowing the fuse plugs is usally a delayed effect thing, as you need time for the heat to go from the brakes to the wheel where the use plugs are. Most aircraft I work with have fuse plugs that melt in…

Just to clarify, the aircraft didn’t likely blow its tires DURING the braking event. Aircraft tires have pressure release plugs that allow a “controlled blowout” if things get too hot. This is to prevent a more violent, catastrophic explosion of the tire which could cause damage to the aircraft both externally, and…

The degree of mismanagement at Stellantis and Chrysler is just....amazing.  But all of the big us automakers have just been fucking up.  They priced everything up too fast to get more profits and then it has caused a meltdown and consumers are just not buying.  But hey they got profits for a few years, bought back…

“more and more” from the perspective of one person...

billionaires shouldn’t spend their money bettering society

I actually live in a city, and clearly charging isn't an issue since I see more and more EVs on the street everyday.

I know if only the say what happened with Packard and Studebaker or AMC. 

I am buying a ‘24 Mini Countryman JCW this weekend. To me is just just a bulbus Cooper but it is listed as an CUV/SUV apparently. Now the new Countryman, which I saw in the show room is SUV sized, about the size of a RAV4 if not a little larger.  

Making the exact same car for 20 years and just increasing the size of the V8 and ignoring every other segment didn’t work out as a whole? Weird.

Corporations are people too*.

Impressive, but why do I picture him camped in the HOV lane doing 57MPH with a line of 100 cars blocked behind him?

$4200 to wrap a vehicle that’s all flat panels. There are ZERO complex curves or body lines to follow. This is the automotive equivalent of wrapping a boxed birthday present.

$4,200 on making it look exactly the same.

I don’t like giving Trump any serious review, on account of his being an awful trash person, but his description of how tariffs work is tooth-grinding. OF COURSE tariffs make goods more expensive to people in the purchasing country, because that’s what a Tariff does.
