That we know how stupid it is to care this much about strange oddities of machines.

I was on the edge of pandemic/WFH stress burnout when I stayed up all night watching the first season and it precipitated a pretty rough breakdown for me. Seeing that constant desperate scrambling, cheating, drugs, violence, just all of it driven by pressure to stay ahead of pending destruction, all that crazy delusion…

My brain and my libido are in full-fledged war over KS. Is my attraction to her yet another self-destructive symptom of my self-loathing? We’ll never know.

Your memory of that segment is very different from mine, and WAY better informed. I’m disappointed to hear that the subtitles misrepresented what her mom was saying, that kinda kills the segment for me.

I feel like the only person who loves Olivia Munn, but that’s based mostly on her TDS work. Have I missed something in the meantime?

I’m just here to see if we can make “Mustange” a thing:

“The Most Reliable American Car Ever Built.” Is this hyperbole? Absolutely, but that should be obvious given the nature of the claim, which is unprovable.

Forget this thing and convert your current cantilever setup to Magura hydraulic brakes! It’s so perfect for you that every day you don’t make this upgrade is like a knife in my heart.

I chose to search in Chicago, and to constrain the choices to minivans less than 10 years old and priced from $8000-9000 - 47 vehicles and literally every single one of them would be better than this chunk of shit:

Is this a joke?

This is all small stuff.

In an alternative universe, he and Timberlake host the most popular variety show in TV history

I’m with you. It’s one of the worst of all time. Like, you can watch Fast & Loud and think “this is the worst car shit I’ve ever seen” and then watch an old PMR to remember what truly horrible dreck is.

OK, but Fallon has never been an overtly sexist, hurtful piece of shit.

He still says his Model 3 is the best car he’s ever owned. Maybe it is? I seem to recall his previous 4Runner having an issue with squeaky balljoints.

Toyota Is Leading GM In US Sales For The First Time

How about in-car microtransactions. Pair your phone? That’ll be a nickel. Playing audio through the infotainment system? 25 cents per hour. Windsheild washer activations are ten for a penny. The car activates lane keeping or brake assist and saves your ass? That’ll be fifty bucks to you, sir - way cheaper than new…

So, you have expired tires that are illegal on the back, and soaked with WD-40 on the front?

Economics as a discipline is so full of bullshit that it’s really unforgiveable to ignore one of the few things that they get exactly right. :)

Yup. I have a long list of issues with Tesla as a company and a carmaker, but this isn’t on that list. Why would they charge prices lower than what the market supports? Are they supposed to operate as a charity or something?
