Some new regulations got passed and are allegedly being adhered to, but as in all things regulatory in TX the rules themselves are wispy at best and the enforcement is non-existent. The local energy providers are much more engaged with their customers—they got shellacked for not providing info back then and now…

It’s actually pretty unsurprising, honestly. From ‘92 to mid-’98 a lot of Toyotas had a real problem with their clearcoats peeling like sunburn no matter what you did. Had a ‘92 Tercel that only saw CA sunlight driving to/from work (covered parking there, garaged at home) and by ‘95 the hood and trunk were in…

Happily daily’d an early-90s Tercel for eight years and upgraded to a Yaris for another eight until it cost more to fix than replace. Small cars are fine. If eighty percent of the traffic on the road weren’t SUVs and huge trucks, I’d likely still be daily’ing a small car, but as it stands I’ll be driving the CX-5…

Ten years to get three quarters done, if he keeps the current pace, means he’ll be kicking a first draft to the editors in late 2025/early 2026.

I always wonder how the hell the owner of the car dug the hole to get it in there in the first place. Five feet of cover on a car means a nine foot deep hole by maybe twenty feet long and eight feet wide to get the car in, plus however much ramp you’d need to drive it down there, then fill it all back in... which is,…

It comes as a total surprise to me that a figurehead of a community united by their fervid and persistent disbelief in anything resembling a fact could be so gullible and easily hoodwinked by someone who’s actually perfected the grift, and taken to the cleaners without any real recourse.

We’re already awake. The problem is too many of us like it this way, and they’ve been given the power—after decades of slow-drip careful legislative abuse—to keep it that way.

“Sitting upright and staring at a screen for hours” describes the vast majority of office jobs in the US. Get an Aeron off ebay for a couple hundred bucks and call it a day.

In South TX, Albertson’s made a stab at making inroads into HEB’s dominance a while back—bought up a bunch of old K-Marts, refitted them, advertising blasts every four hours, seemed like. HEB buried ‘em and drove them out in six months.

Those are the eyes of a vehicle that’s been surprise-dragon’d.

Came here to post exactly this. Somewhat surprised how far down I had to scroll.

Screens of any kind.

UK: “You can do five days of work in four? We’ll give you a day off.”

I’d love to know why they chose the carrot. If they picked it due to it being the linchpin of a UK campaign to mislead the Nazis in WW2, that would be a surprisingly deep cut indeed.

re: “conservative hypocrisy”:

Current vehicle at the time (Corolla) developed a non-warranty-covered repair that would have cost over half the high bluebook on it to fix, so bye, Felisha. Traded it in on a 2014 CX-5 Sport. Wanted a CUV/SUV with a manual and remembered a long-ago Jalopnik article where the writer had mentioned this particular model…

Why reinvent the wheel? They just need to hire the bleem! crew—they made PS emulation on PC work just fine, and fast, back in the day.
