The Prelude shown in the photo is a Type SH which only comes in a manual transmission. The concern listed about the 5th Gen Lude is only related to the automatic which had, in my opinion, a bigger issue of reduced horsepower from the manual — and, from my experience, both issues were way too common on 90's automatics.

Careful. That illustration is likely to just piss him off.

2018 (116K cancellations) and 2019 (135K cancellations) had higher rates than 2021 (103K cancellations). Which is to say, 2022 numbers are definitely higher than what appears to be the average range, but there are years where it is higher.

Context: In 2020 there were 281K flight cancellations which averages to 769 per day to add to 3,000 cancellations in a four day period of time. Yes, 2022 has a lot of cancellations happening but it was notably worse two years ago.

Green methanol is one option - it is starting to be used on new cargo ships. No idea how sustainable, realistic to implement, or “green” it really is, though.

Is it possible to make a environmentally friendly cruise ship? Is there any company out there trying? Many people enjoy the experience of a cruise - maybe they would enjoy it even more if their conscience wasn’t bothering them while they are recovering from the diseases they picked up?

The fine for this violation between 2011 and 2014 amounted to less than the profit of one quarter of their sales - for their lowest sales month of the four years for that truck.

Yup. Visually speaking - Cleopatra is the greatest movie ever made. It was/is worth watching just for that. (Much like Avatar on the 3D big screen.)

Fantastic suggestion — really unique and wonderful (if a bit eerie) sound on their tracks. Thanks for this introduction, Andy.

It is a tie for six states —- all of which are in Australia and part of the Big Lap. Greatest road trip ever - if you have 6+ months (and 4WD) to complete it.

I don’t know who this car is for. If it didn’t have the name “Integra” on it then none of us would even be reading this because it is not noteworthy in any way and I don’t think there is more than a dozen people out there that will buy it simply because of the name.

Counterpoint: Imagine how much better the production version will look compared to this.

2nd: “There simply isn’t going to be enough lithium on the face of the planet”

Yup. We have pedestrian signals in Kirkland that simply do not work, so crossing busy intersections that are a direct exit from the freeway (people driving twice the speed limit) have to cross when the signal says a pedestrian cannot go.

You and Dr. Fauci must be best friends.

It just looks like a boring car to me. I agree that giving it a facelift would have been nice, if for no other reason than to get a little distance from their four-wheeled Molotov cocktails.

I use peppermint oil (diluted) that we spray near all prior ant areas and it works brilliantly. It also works on spiders, mosquitos, and just about every other tiny unwanted visitor. It doesn’t work against kids, though - even with a direct application.

I suspect this is mostly a marketing ploy showing Ford’s green thumb and that an ICE using hydrogen will never see a sales floor. That typed, it does make some degree of sense. At least to the suits in the Ford board room.

It is worth noting that, long term, we do not need the Chinese since those rare earth elements are actually available in America but have not been extracted for various reasons. That outcome is likely to change as the price for these materials (or international politics) changes.

Cars, Cars 2, and Cars 3 are all abominations, as far as I’m concerned and I would sooner locked my kids in a closet than watch them a second time. (Yes, they watched them again and again in the closet.)
