Hey, Rivian -

Asking Netflix not to fund and showcase transphobic content is kind of a reasonable request, rather than “censorship”, in my mind.

“Chappelle shared a story about his friendship with Dorman, reminiscing on their shared sense of humor and her openness to talk about her identity”

He’s just not that funny anymore. Being a troll isn’t funny. He’s playing to the lowest common denominator, which is basically Joe Rogan fans. Dave is in the same boat as Kanye with me. I still love and appreciate their early work, but they’re both artistically dead to me.

They found one transgender comedian who thought Chappell’s gay/trans jokes were cool.

That makes her look a little better, but not much. In all likelihood Matt will be liable for the first collision and this girl will be liable for the second and much more expensive collision.

Yup. I was a witness to an accident where a car hit a stopped car which then hit the car in front. The poor girl in the middle car was shaken up and stupidly said, “I don’t know what happened.” The asshat in the third car then had the balls to sue her, claiming she had caused the accident by hitting the first car and…

“Keep maintaining, fixing, and driving whatever old car you already have.”

If you look at a normal hybrid car, the mpg difference of a Honda Insight with 16" wheels vs 17" wheels is 4 mpg (epa combined 48 vs 52). So obviously if they wanted to sacrifice some style for range, EVs could come with sensible 17 or 18" wheels.

Hopefully the trend of increasingly worse outward visibility will end before we end up at cars with the window glass of a Abrahms battle tank

Oh he’d buttchug.

Should be carved or branded into his forehead.

“The answer at Audi are e-tron wheels with progressive and highly attractive designs”

Yes, in the novels (and a movie or two) it was a Bentley.

FWIW, Brosnan spent more than a fair amount of time in BMW’s.  

Yes and no. The high belt line and tiny greenhouse which necessitates big wheels was here LONG before EVs. True on all the aero stuff though.

This EV won’t work for me because the commute to my job is 20 miles each way and once I get there they don’t give me enough money to buy this car.
