People who, financially, should be getting a 2015 Camry but instead pick up a fully loaded (light bar, brush guard, etc) 2017 (or newer) Wrangler Rubicon chatting with me about how they absolutely cannot do without foot pegs or top lift...
Literally had this conversation this weekend. This person is going through a…

Which is a real indictment.  

In fairness, “The city told the couple that their street isn’t eligible for speed humps because it is not close to a park or church.” was immediately followed up with “not eligible under the 2021 program due to it not meeting the minimum requirements for housing density, number of children living in the area, and…

This is an absolutely ridiculous take that illustrates the complete lack of understanding of the history behind all of this.

“They were either incompetent custodians of AQ and Bin Laden and they were running rings around them. Or they were his allies and in return for looking the other way as he organized his US attacks...” There is no contention of this or that here. It’s been definitive for some time they knew exactly who they were…

“Committed by Saudi Arabians” living in Afghanistan under the protection of the Taliban...

This is my nightmare (hyperbole, I’m vaxxed so I imagine it won’t matter much, but it’s still makes you feel pretty anxious). I’m facing the need to use the bus more often this winter. I’ve only taken it a handful of times in the last 16 months and each time was horrible. There was absolutely nothing reassuring about…

I feel like most of the “it’s a bit underpowered” complaints are not coming from track days, etc. They’re coming from the fun of every day driving situations. Like when you don’t get that green approaching an intersection where you’re taking the right hand on-ramp to the highway/interstate but instead catch yourself…

Yeah, a lot of these are in rural areas where the closest big box store or grocery store is a 40 min drive. People will use it when the payoff is better for DG than driving to their other option. And in both that case and the urban cases the DG isn’t going in because the mom & pop shop that supposedly used to be there…

Ah, so it’s predatory to fill a market void and put your stores close to your customers...

The red middle you can definitely read at one point, only partial of the other red, and the silver has it covered.
But, there’s a whole heap of issues when there’s just as good a chance these are not registered to the people in them as vice versa. [edited to take out the numbers]

Regarding item 4; it’s difficult to tell, but there is reason to suspect that it is highly unlikely there are mullets

“Given the average American’s lack of responsibility, whatever new variant pops up WILL make it here and spread just as easily as the Delta variant.” none of that is a given precisely because “MOST of the rest of the world is unvaccinated.”
I haven’t read anywhere that the science is remotely settled on any future…

I thought this episode’s interactions with Belinda, Tanya, and Rachel were particularly compelling.
I’m not going to let Belinda off the hook as easily. When put upon she makes herself available, every time. And with Rachel, it certainly seemed like she thought she may be getting a better Tanya and hedging her rich…

That problem, which permeates the entire review, was certainly telegraphed in this line, “A rich guy kills a guy with less money...”
What an odd lens to view that through.
“flattens every interaction on the show into fitting that” ...Indeed.

That kinda took me out of it a little bit. Christianity is pretty popular in Nigeria and Christmas pretty typically celebrated so it seemed like the sort of thing a contemporary writer would put in and not what Sam would say.

A US president does something that the staff at Jalopnik and many/most of it’s readers would hate [calling for more foreign oil], but because Jalopnik is sympathetic to this administration the article is somehow devoid of rage filled snark and the comments thread has rediscovered “nuance”.

Mm, kinda breezed right over Quinn which is the focus/source of most of the conversations where these topics take off. I think it’s pretty clear Nichole is hung up on Olivia and Paula treating him like garbage and projecting that from her own insecurities onto some fallacious statement about society as a whole. Which…

Jalopnik: “Regulations are hard!”
Also Jalopnik: “Nuh uh, just do it, wtf”

Aside from Adam’s hot take, sounds good.
Early May is the perfect call, assuming it will be paired with Canada before Monaco. Weather could be great (based on google, low 80's high, low 70's low, and before the rain swings in). And well ahead of Austin giving enough space that for anyone inclined to attend both they…
