Ok, that gif mentally switches between Willem Defoe and Gary Oldman in a REALLY disconcerting way, with a few frames of Edward Norton.

Sadly, no. This was in the days when Men were Real Men, Trucks were Real Trucks and Video was Real Video and also taken on shoulder-mounted-VHS cameras that cost a hell of a lot more than my family could afford.

I’m with you. This is probably not a “Tesla Can’t Do Engineering” issue so much as a “Tailgates In General Bend If A Ton Of Weight Is Right In The Center Of The Outer Edge”.

I’m definitely in the camp of “infotainment should not cross with vehicle control”.

It is a royal pain. Typically a change to the bylaws or statutes requires an approving vote from 2/3 of ALL HOMEOWNERS IN THE ASSOCIATION (not just of those present for the vote).

2012 Outback. Replaced my wife’s 2-door Accord when we decided to have a baby. What it had going for it: Visibility, Legroom and Storage and Safety, all in spades.

The bit that gets me about garages these days is that set of stairs from the garage into the home. That set of stairs takes out at LEAST one of your garage spaces (unless you own Smart cars, or an iQ or something). When I was house hunting I ran into a couple of builders that just did not THINK about their layout and…

No pilots, though.  My set as a kid had pilots and that made them better.

So... it’d be interesting and educational for things like the Silverado if you’d provide the MPG numbers for both the Hybrid and “Plain” version of the same engine/model where you’re dissing GM for “modest” gains.  I’m honestly kind of curious.  

A key part of this menu change has been BURYING the “standard” (read: lower-cost) subs as hard as possible. At the shops I visit, the old standards are listed about as far away from the point of ordering as possible, buried in what I feel like are odd places, and in very small print compared to the FEATURED NUMBER…

I’m definitely in the Sam Rockwell : Moon camp on this. I saw it completely on a whim at a local indie theater when it released and was just floored. The trope-defying twist for the AI came at me stright out of left field.

I have some irrational hate of Nord keyboards.  When I did tech long ago, one of our keyboardists had one and there was SOMETHING about it that was stupidly proprietary (either a DC brick or some uber-picky pedal) that meant you were SOL if the cord/pedal/brick/whatever-it-was got lost or damaged.  I’m glad to see the…

+1 on the FR-S. My cousin has daily-driven one for the last decade and he’s... big. And tall. Like: “I’m 6', 235lbs and I look like a dwarf next to him” big and tall.

I had similar problems with electric baseboard heaters at my previous home - a huge stretch of wall is given over to a heater, and now you really can’t (or shouldn’t, at least) stick couches and stuff in front of it.

Now that they’re being forced to disclose the fees up-front, that’s definitely the next front in the battle: fighting all the “add on fees” which are really just “cost of doing business split into a line item we’re going to try to blame someone else for.”

Yeah... not going to watch a video to learn what I could have read in 30 seconds.

I didn’t think the Ioniq 6 was eligible for the Federal credit (non-US assembly & parts content).

Time to smack a writer and editor for bad headlines.

I had the same thought on the buttons.  Definitely interested to know how well they’ll hold up to the force of a crash trying to shuck you out of the jacket.  I like zippers, personally, because they don’t stick out to get caught on the landscape and they’re attached by a LOT of stitching.  Buttons feel like they’d…

At one time I had both (a) a summer softball league and (b) a motorcycle. I liked playing softball and I liked riding my motorcycle, so I added (c) a ‘stich-like mesh armored riding coverall.
Get off the bike, take sneakers, glove and ballcap out of luggage; unzip the suit and stuff it and the motorcycle boots INTO the…
