“The weight is a sign of reliability”

No idea why everyone apparently wants all full-size EVs to look basically the same. I’m really hoping for a Polestar V90. Or E-Tron RS6. It’ll probably never happen.

The forecasts I was looking at on Friday showed 3" happening early Monday morning, which was enough to tell me not to expect to go anywhere that day *shrug*

I’d probably classify myself as a noob too, as I don’t even have tracking hardware, just a couple decent lenses, a tripod, and free stacking software. I’m getting to be capable with that setup though. Unfortunately haven’t been out in about a year since my free time, new moons, and clear weather haven’t really lined…

I’ve been thinking this for years. If your ignition is on, your lights are on.

Yeah these are all *extremely* niche cases that I’m sure three people would yell & scream about to no end instead of just putting in a simple toggle switch to suit their needs.

“50 percent of crashes happen at night”

Is there a good reason why you’re able to switch off the running lights on cars at all while driving?

You would not believe the number of people I’ve seen who turn on their hazard lights but not their proper lights. It’s wild.

This is one of the big problems with autonomous cars. Computers are not good at fuzzy logic. There is a rule to do things a certain way, so it does it that way. When there are a million mitigating factors that may or may not mean you need to disobey the rules, that is when computers crash, or launch the nukes, or…

At least he didn’t say erogenous zones!

“I would’ve also though that Bed, Bath & Beyond is making a killing”

Now I’m extremely curious about the politics of how Atomic Blonde came to be. Because that is  one hell of a movie, but was it lightning in a bottle, or just competent filmmaking?

GPS nav is horrible about toll roads (i.e. making you pay $4.50 to save 30 seconds), so once I directed my driver to avoid the toll, which he did, but the stupid app still charged me for the toll.

the 80s? Economy cars are *still* selling you slushy automatics.

Shifting is relatively easy. You put a little more thought into it, and get used to it fairly quickly. Not sure I’d be comfortable on track with left-handed shifting, but street driving is fine.

Why is this a problem? I thought that was, in fact, the *point* of this telescope?

Fun fact: the tow hook mount on a DB9 is reverse-threaded for some god-forsaken reason.

It would take all of my willpower to not flip the hell out at them.

I’m sure a lot of people had asshole bosses that were like “be at work or else!” but everyone else probably deserved* what they got. A major snow event was in the forecast at least two days in advance.
