So, basically, one of the device’s uses is as an immobile telephone. Burn the witch, why don’t we?

This is actually a mating display; it’s trying to fuck you, not attack you.

Taiwan is likely to be considered in a different way than the PRC, although much of Hon Hai’s (aka Foxconn) manufacturing is offshored to the lower-cost mainland, where it is the largest non-government employer.

The interior also has similarities, e. g. the steering wheel is off-center from the driver’s seat.

It’s a series-parallel hybrid like the Accord and Toyota-Ford system, while older Insights and Civic Hybrids were “integrated motor assist” parallel hybrids.

Well, films produced by e. g., the BBC and Granada for TV viewing in the UK, and even “series” (in the UK sense) edited into “movie” format have been released theatrically in the US for decades. If a film meets Academy requirements for consideration, why should its origin be deemed somehow tainted?

My sister hasn’t had major problems with her 2005 (bought new at a discount when the ‘06s were arriving), but she only drives it in the warmer half of the year, definitely doesn’t drive 10/10, and maintains it rigorously (except remembering to routinely check the tire pressure, you would think someone with a PhD in…

Standard time in the summer does exactly the opposite of what you advocate. Where I live the sun would be rising before 5am, hours before I get up, and setting before 8pm, allowing less than 2 hours of evening activity after dinner.

The hatch is an Auris, like the current iM, but the fact it will continue is a positive. The engine’s 13:1 compression ratio suggests possible fruit of Toyota’s 5% investment in Mazda. It will be interesting to see the final specs and determine if they’re using the entire SkyActive 2.0l (and its 6-speed manual), or…

Manufacturers need to listen to dealers, but also parse what they say with some logic. How many MINI dealerships are there that aren’t next door to or across the street from BMW dealerships? Are people who buy MINIs actually resistant to buying their larger vehicles with a different badge on them? GM listened to…

There are (at least) two possibilities. Intelligence agencies in multiple Western countries have expressed concern about certain Chinese manufacturers but not others in the same businesses, so there may be specific nonpublic information which causes that concern. Or as you say, Western governments may be trying to…

It’s not designed for readability in large blocks of text, but they only seem to be using it for headlines and ledes, for which it seems fine.

Since I am unhip, I thought this was one of the best-looking minivans of the time, and one that was right-sized and attractively trimmed.

I believe it’s sold as the Impreza Wagon in some markets and Legacy Touring in others. Wheelbase (104.3 in) and body panels (e. g. doors) are closer to the last Impreza.

“drunken debauchery”—meanwhile, in Ireland everyone abstains from alcohol and attends Mass.

Doesn’t this reflect FCA’s revised long-term plan? The Caravan was supposed to be dropped when the Pacifica was introduced but got a temporary reprieve because the Pacifica’s entry price is so much higher, so people who need a large but less-expensive people hauler have an option, also drawing some fleet buyers. The…

Sensitive toothpaste wasn’t really intended to retard enamel erosion. It contains an anaesthetic which is absorbed into the teeth so they don’t fucking hurt constantly.

Well, you should investigate the procedures for government civilian and military travel, which are not exactly the same, but here’s how it used to work for civilian contractors on travel ultimately billed to DoD. The GAO periodically publishes a list of maximum lodging reimbursement and per diem rate based on…

You know there are wider/longer, usually green, plastic bags for leeks, beets, collards, etc., right?

While it is probable that Theismann did unintentionally mix metaphors, since “nut” is an American colloquialism for “ejaculate” in both noun and verb forms, the statement is correct, factual, and makes sense as it stands
