Darkness can not grow in the spotlight.

This looks like a worse version of a typewriter with display screen that I won in college in 1991.
It was a paper-loading typewriter that would let you type 2 complete lines of text, which it displayed on a small LED screen similar to this device, auto-check for spelling errors, let you manually edit, if you paused…

And minivan.

Might as well add all minivans to the list, as well.

Who is in both, besides Diego Luna?

You don’t test a flying article until it breaks.
That’s what modeling and test articles are for.

I agree with everything you said.
I converted some of my Gold time to Game Pass, but didn’t quite get the full 18 months.
I’m not aware of the £5 credit a month thing you mentioned?

I’m sure I’m not the only one who has Game Pass Ultimate, and is paying exactly $0 annually for it.
It’s super easy to earn enough rewards points with simple tasks, to easily get 3 months of service, every 2 months or so.
They’ve lessened some of the rewards points recently, but it’s still pretty easy, if you keep the…

I’m a huge Garmin fan, from the earliest ‘wrist computer’, and currently using a lot of their stuff, including the 2-gens ago taillight/radar (which is my favorite bike gadget, and saves my bacon constantly, along with a cheap sunglass mirror).
But, it looks like the execution is not good on the camera, and my…

Our brains have already adapted to the opposite case - smaller inputs needed as speed increases.
As others have pointed out, with the more direct yoke-to-wheel movement ratio, driving at highway speeds would be increasingly erratic, without variable ratios.
A smaller movement of the wheel creates a much larger movement…

“Honda says that the HR-V is STILL based on the Civic...”

I’m pretty sure the previous HR-V was based on the FIT.

I was in a collision of terrible hot hatches. Driving my roommate’s (‘87?) Escort GT, I was nearly T-boned by a Scirocco.
Both of us swerved at the last moment; the Scirocco took the front (stryofoam with a plastic shell) bumper off of the Escort, and did some minor fender damage, but the Scirocco ended up far worse…

Minivan > SUV all the way.
Drive better, better mileage, more comfort and utility, can fit full sheets of plywood and 12' lengths of board inside, with the hatch down, etc.
Every time I consider changing to an SUV (even luxury ones costing far more than the van), one test drive is all it takes to stick with the minivan.

This era of dashes wouldn’t make it a decade without cracking.
Which is why there was a prominent market for carpeted dash covers, model specific for late 60's to mid-80's US cars.

An attempt to insult someone for being bald just makes you look like an insecure dullard.

This is a bad take.
First of all, nearly all Specialized frames are made in Taiwan, dating back to the late 70's/early 80's.
And it really doesn’t matter where they were made - the design, materials, and quality control are the important factors in the frame.

The current generation of big box store bikes are not well…

Absolutely. Manual tranny helped both of the vehicles I described.
Currently driving a CVT with a turbo (not my first choice), and it’s both way more powerful than I need, but also fun, in its own way, when the opportunity arises.

True, but that instant torque is limited by other factors, both physical and electric.
It’s possible to create an extremely fast EV, while sacrificing range, handling, etc.
And since speed limits are a practical limitation - why push the envelope on that one factor, when you can increase all of the other factors, while…

Slow-ish is a category that EVs should purposely seek out, imo.
After all, they are largely about efficiency, utility, environmental factors, for many buyers.
I’ve said for decades that I’ve wanted new cars to add utility and mpg, instead of constantly adding more power.
Favorite 2 cars owned to date were both small…

Unpopular opinion: all muscle cars are terrible and geared at 17 yo idiots.
I had 2 classics by the time I was 17 - crashed the first.
And after having them, I decided they were terrible cars with no purpose, and also that working on ICE cars was not a hobby for me.

Not to mention that my minivan outperforms classic…
