People barely care about Covid around here but there’s still a lot of places where the dining room is closed. I assume it’s just because of staffing. Not even “staffing” like they’re trying to hire people, just that they got away without having dine-in for 18 months so why bother now?

Yeah, this article is trash. It’s true that they aren’t taking any more orders for the 22 Maverick Hybrid. But the forum post they used is from 3 whole months ago and is referencing the delay prior to EPA certification.

Yeah, this article is pretty trash. Even the forum post they linked to is 3 months old.

Modern base models are actually pretty nice anyway. I have a ‘17 Yaris iA in the only trim level it came, and it’s not really missing anything other than AA/CarPlay,.

Why can’t we have both? I don’t think I’d ever want to give up a car but I’d love to live in a city where transit is good enough that my family can get away with being a one-car household. Right now I basically have a car for the 10 days a month I have to go into work, partner’s car is already the designated road trip…

Yeah I casually cross-shopped this with the Maverick because I like the styling and I could realistically use an enclosed cargo area more than a bed, but it’s just a terrible value compared to the Mav. I could get a Maverick with the $3k topper and still come out way ahead.

Yeah, if a car is desirable at all, the deprecation curve flattens out faster than the amount owed even with longer terms. My $15k econobox on a 60mo loan was only underwater for about 18 months until it leveled out in value at around 10k. Now it’s worth like $13k and I only owe $4k and I’m gonna have a lot of…

It’s a really common design for hybrids, Ford uses it for all their hybrids even before the Maverick. But it’s only for hybrids by definition because the electric motors are integral to how it works.

Yeah, it’s weird that the article jumped to the conclusion that the hybrid isn’t popular when the forums and reddit are full of people frustrated that their hybrid order isn’t being scheduled. Maybe those enthusiast places aren’t representative of the average buyer but the average buyer isn’t putting in a preorder in…

The guitar was definitely plugged in to a lead, whether that was plugged into anything, who knows. They also had mics set up around the drum set she played for five seconds. I think lady Gaga might've actually played piano live when she did it a few years back? But I know when Bruno Mars performed, everything was…

Guy doesn’t even own the house. Why his landlord puts up with it, I have no idea.

Guy is actually a renter anyway. Why the landlord doesn’t seem to care, who knows.

Yeah KDSM doesn’t even have its own newscast, they’re purely a conduit for Vikings games and idk, whatever else is on Fox.

Yeah, I was gonna say, super fresh hipster stereotype. 

I honestly buy the theory that this is just an ego thing for the private equity guys. If they didn’t like Deadspin being Deadspin they easily could’ve sold it six months ago with all the staff and goodwill intact.

Corporate probably still doesn't actually know what they're doing but they just posted it a day late to throw us a bone or something.

I was kinda hoping Drew was just holding the Funbag out of protest but the fact that there hasn't been *anything* since the dogs post is concerning. Maybe Berry had the keys to the place.

My cousin’s wedding that I went to last summer was “semi-formal” and like half of the groom’s family was in jeans anyway. I sure felt like a sucker actually bothering to wear chinos and tucking in my shirt.

My sister had a drink ticket system at her wedding. I think everybody only got two free tickets, but there were so many laying around from the non-drinkers that I’m pretty sure nobody actually had to pay cash for booze. I’m guess it was cheaper than pay for a true open bar but it still worked out.

Yeah I was gonna say, it’s literally a song about Chick Fil A. Waste of a good beat.
