Thank you. I’m saving up my stars and hope to one day trade them in for a new Goldilocks Ceti-Alpha Six/V Wagon with manual tricorder or maybe the rumored mid-engined Chubby Corset.

Thank you for the acknowledgement. It’s a nuanced solution to a complex problem, and despite my following it with a perhaps-unhealthy level of layperson’s interest, the details can be devilish and not well-documented. For example, I don’t have handy the exact mpg-platform formulas and figures and couldn’t find them…

What you believe is not true. It hasn’t sat that way in over five years. Please read up on the CAFE footprint model.

Give me a break. This stopped happening once we got digital color photography.

Finally those pesky scientists and journalists will be held accountable! :)

But it never costs the people who made the quick bucks. It costs the rest of us. And they’re never held accountable, because they’re in charge.

Not to mention the power.

I think you misunderstand how States’ Rights is supposed to work.

THANK YOU. I swear, every time CAFE comes up around here, I think I’m visiting an alternate universe in which CAFE isn’t footprint-based. It’s sad that I had to get this deep into the comments to find you.

Manufacturers can make large vehicles. CAFE sets different targets for larger-footprint vehicles, and different targets for trucks vs cars.

Sad that they’re still upholding the leather mandate in the world of Under Armor and yoga pants as everyday casual wear. What would a hero or heroine today be most likely to use as the basis for their working clothes?

Was Daniel Craig once up for the role? Because I’m seeing Casino Royale Daniel Craig out in front there. :)

There’s plenty of room to work in this timeline. Consider the mutant hunts mentioned in Logan as a brief late development and they can do another three decade-movies — 90s, aughts, and teens — in which elder mutants are offscreen either trying to crack the no-fresh-mutants problem or having existential crises or happy…

This is a terrible song for being stuck in morning rush-hour traffic — it begs for high-g maneuvers. :)

Inherently more sexualized by the patriarchy that fundamentally views women as sex objects, not people.

NANAO! I haven’t seen that name in ages.

“Off the shelf” is what’s most interesting about this.

We get it, you thought Tom Hardy was unconvincing as Bane.

Stephen Lang is not a man you want to make angry.

I object, based on the definition of poser supplied above:
