Kia's dealer problems seem to be quasi-regional, and it's not just for the EV6. I bought a top-trim Telluride in Sept 2019, and despite living near Portland, Oregon, I bought it from the dealer in Puyallup, WA, because *all* my local Kia dealers had a markup (from $5k) or didn't have any to sell. I paid MSRP - $800…

The quality issues and the lack of physical buttons are legit concerns, but “no engine noise”? Really?

Oh stop the bullshit. In 2016, Hillary Clinton *conceded* the day after the networks called it. Democrats filed zero lawsuits contesting the election, and took zero cases to the supreme Court to attempt to throw out the results. There was never a left-wing mob storming the capital to try to stop the certification of…

In addition to things others raised - massive recalls in the case of a defect - I think the longer-term problem would be that a shared, standardized platform could constrain innovation. With multiple different engines from different manufacturers, each company has some incentive to wring more power, less weight, or…

Well, they have the next best thing to another universe - their close-knit community of like-minded knuckle-draggers who aren’t going to judge them because they agree with the racist’s sentiments. Not a universe most of us would ever want to visit.

“vestigial third row” 😂😂😅

I was about to post this same comment, but you did a much better job.

People like that aren’t worth the effort (and, as you said, blood on the seats). But Ziff-Davis’s name sort-of lives on in ZD Net, which I still read, especially their hardware reviews.

Not sure if it's just me, but I didn't even see the Tigger flag in the video. Was it just off camera? Or am I blind....

Never mind

Ahhh, thank you for posting this! I saw the “white pixel” in several scenes when watching the movie over the weekend, and given that I have an LG OLED tv (which I got in 2018), I was concerned that it was starting to prematurely have problems.

As someone who bought a (2020) Kia Telluride SX with Premium package for MSRP in September 2019, I can tell you that (a) it’s a great vehicle, but (b) no way I would have paid $79k for it. I paid $46k for mine. I know Kia raised prices for the 2021 model year, but that dealer is insane - for that much money, get an…

Maybe a threat to expand the court to 13 justices, if Dems win the White House and the Senate (giving a liberal majority on the court) would be enough to convince some senators to keep their 5-4 majority, and hold off on putting another conservative on the court.

Murkowski has come out and said she doesn't think they should move forward with this before the election.... Collins really does probably see this as her last best hope, so I think she's likely a "no". The pickings get slim after that...

Unfortunately, The Senate only requires 51 votes for a quorum. *sigh*

I came here to say this, and you did it first, and better. Kudos!

I test drove a Ford explorer, Volvo XC90, and Volkswagen Atlas before buying my Telluride last summer. The Volvo and the Telluride are both very nice vehicles, in a different league than the Explorer and Atlas. In the end, I bought the Telluride because it was $10k cheaper (than a similarly equipped XC90), has 7 USB…

I’m not sure why some people seem so upset at the author, for merely writing what is well known - that many people who got the stimulus payments are not out of work, have savings, and are middle class or even upper middle class. Yes, some people really needed that money to pay rent, or buy food. But that’s not the…

I have a bread machine, which simplifies making yeast-bread recipes (technically, baking powder bread recipes too, but you don’t really need a bread machine for those). I usually let the bread machine do the mixing and the rising, then I take out the dough and make dinner rolls, since they freeze really well. I’ll…

I think she’s a solid VP pick, in that she would bring some enthusiasm and pizzazz to the ticket. As long as Democrats don’t form their usual “circular purity firing squad”, and attack their own candidate for every prior little transgression, no matter how miniscule, rather than uniting behind the candidates who are…
