I drove a 2015 BMW X1 the other day, and while it wasn’t “confusing” per se, the whole idea of nudging a self-centering lever until a particular small light comes is just bad design choice for a vehicle. For something as critical as what gear a car is in, you should be able to just look at the control itself and see…

It’s not supporting “stupid” to argue critical controls in a motor vehicle shouldn’t require increasing amounts of attention just to confirm what they’re doing. Doesn’t matter whether it’s a lever or a button or a dial — you should be able to *look* at the control and know what setting is selected.

Examined one in person once and was impressed with the overall pol Sh (like a show vehicle from the factory?) and the air-conditioned seats (!)

I love the characters Harrison Ford has created onscreen, and I’ve heard he’s donated his time and equipment to do awesome things like search for stranded hikers in his helicopter.

NP out of pure Honda / Acura fanboism.

I went to J. school and did a little in college, and my take was always that journalists are PEOPLE. Nothing more or less. It’s a job, and a right, not a cultural position.

Good demonstration of “backlash.”

Are there actually any of these left that haven’t been swapped with a B18C and promptly hooned to death? Honda kids in my town were always after them for their low weight.

Never understood this. When I briefly worked weekends at a nationally known used car chain, the typical young family customers would come in and say something like:

“We need something that can haul 4-5 kids and their sports equipment comfortably, is easy to get in and out of, comfortable on long trips, gets decent gas…

The more I hear from twisted Hillary supporters about how much they blame liberals who rejected her for a result that had much more to do with her being a shit candidate than with people “refusing to vote for her,” the more respect I have for those who didn’t. And the less I regret the fact we didn’t put her corrupt,…

People are being compensated decently through the buyback. We just turned in a paid-off 2011 TDI for a shade over $19,000, which was $5-6,000 over trade-in value and frankly impressive for an 80,000 mile car. We bought a brand-new Alltrack and will have fraction of the payment we would have otherwise. The settlement…

We’ve been successfully factionalized. If black activists don’t “trust” white activists, then we have nothing. Nobody wins these battles alone.

Goddamn this identity shit is out of control, especially the pissing on white women activists.

So we’re calling out the white women who are so vehemently opposed to Trump that they “got off the couch” and travelled to a huge protest to communicate it on the basis that a theoretical 3% more of white women nationwide supported him?

Janet Porter, president of Faith2Action, who was behind Ohio’s Heartbeat Bill,

Shut up gross neoliberals who lost the goddamn election because people didn’t buy that you can replace economic issues with identity politics and kiss Wall Street’s ass while pretending to be progressive.

“fed”

Trump may be a vile idiot, but this whole “Russia hacked the election” thing does smell like propaganda. Since when does the CIA release reports to the public?

Yep. Annoying legal behavior, much like annoying journalistic behavior, is largely a product of consumer behavior.

Where did you get the idea that people are “dialing up” the nicotine in vapor? The strongest concentration available is said to come close to the amount of nicotine in a cigarette, and few people use it. I have never heard of a “stronger than cigarettes” concentration anywhere.
