“All I wanted was a nice tour of a beautiful concentration camp, but the radical tour guide kept bring up the Holocaust.”

Haha it’s actually probably because with EV’s you don’t need a grille, so the only remaining aero obstacle is headlights. Not a big one, obviously, but any break in the surface disrupts airflow.

LED/Laser/HID headlights, which are much better - brighter and more “aimable” - require much less space than halogens, so this really isn’t a concern.

I leased a 2017 Jetta with halogens and I was amazed how shitty they were. I hated the car, so I traded it for a CPO GTI with the lighting package, and the difference is remarkable. With the high beams on it’s like I’m driving in daylight, and the low beams are low enough to not blind oncoming traffic, but bright…

I’ve always loved some of the clever features VW builds into its cars. Some popular features may be missing (you need to buy a GTI Autobahn to get full power seats?!), but the ones they do include tend to be more truly useful.

Or just require automatic headlights. It’s so random whether cars are equipped with it, people who just bought a new car probably assume their new car has them if their old car did. My $18k 2013 Focus had auto headlights, but when I was GTI shopping I found out you had to step up to the SE to get them, despite a $9k…

So then how do I download gifs from Reddit to my stupid iPhone?

Duh? You can’t have max grip and longevity. They’re diametrically opposed. Not that engineers can’t reach a better compromise, but what do you expect?

Good, because that was honestly a deal-breaker for me.

Neutral: Only an idiot would say no to this question out of hand. If the powertrain does not require any sacrifices in terms of usability and experience, I’d have no qualms about buying a hybrid.

I’d be curious to know similar stats for traditional cab companies nationwide.

A lot of interesting stuff. Two comments from me: 1) the 401(k) thing is sort of falsely alarming. A 401(k) is literally just a tax-advantaged mutual fund, which everyone knows are a great investment vehicle for laymen. 2) I’ve noticed the video game thing before, where I’ve respawned and faced fewer enemies than the…

This year I think, by the end of the season, it came down to strategy, reliability, and Seb making dumb mistakes. And Lewis Hamilton, because holy shit was he dominant at Yas Marina.

This argument is my favorite. As if you can just walk out of one job and into another. The supply of potential game studio employees far exceeds demand for them, and I’d bet it was a dream come true for most of these women to work at a major studio.

I recognize this type of thing is a problem everywhere, to some extent, but it seems logical that it would be worse at game studios. Though that is based on my possibly erroneous assumption that dudes who work at game studios are like the dudes you encounter gaming online, which is to say: childish assholes.

Wegmans is the only answer to the best grocery chain question.

To be fair, and as someone who is decidedly against how Trump is handling immigration on the whole, my understanding from a coworker who’s husband works in Buffalo area law enforcement, and has friends at the ICE station, that specific detention center only houses illegal immigrants who have committed actual crimes.

I would say the sweet spot is to keep it until the predicted cost of ongoing maintenance/repairs is greater than the cost of the monthly payment/price of your new car spread over the same amount of time. But that gets boring. There’s no way I could keep a car that long, so I just end up trading it in as soon as it’s…

It’s not desperate, it’s the same reason why Apple is doing TV+ and not just releasing TV and movies in the traditional manner. People are more likely to split with their cash on a monthly basis than all at once, and corporations have become wise to that, even if consumers themselves haven’t. I would say it’s more…

Right, though the value of Game Pass Ultimate depends on how many games you play, and Microsoft’s gamble is that most people will play fewer than what the annual subscription cost adds up to. And they’re probably right.
