I’m 48 and an engineer. I will never get used to controls in a screen that require me to take my eyes off the road for tasks that should be done by no-look tactile knobs or buttons. My wife has a Mercedes, and while the HVAC controls are technically physical controls - they are tiny aircraft-style toggles - they are…

Gosh, nobody could ever guess she really enjoys amphetamines.

Who would have thought making a Mercedes that looks nothing like a Mercedes and charging Mercedes prices wouldn’t go well. We have to move away from EVs being designed like weird EVs.

Kind of a good thing I’m voting with imaginary dollars and not real dollars.  Otherwise I’d have a Cube and a 911 this week, and that cheque I wrote to fix the roof would bounce.  NP.

It’s Greenpeace.  It will never make sense. 

“Suzuki’s decarbonisation and electrification performance is almost nonexistent in a time when nearly all major carmakers are transitioning away from ICE vehicles”

The 996 may be the least expensive 911, but from what I have seen all 911s are expensive, no cheap bargains out there anymore.  This one seems to be in good shape with service history, and the price seems perfectly reasonable.  Nice Price

(shrug) It’s Denver; it will literally snow in the morning, and be 75 in the afternoon, with no trace of snow.

“Just sign right here” 

I did not figure Uncle Fester as a Porsche guy. 

The correct amount of pedals. Relatively reliable. Soft top is a non-starter for me. I’ve been closely looking at 996's as I may get one real soon and this is a fair market price.

China will eventually be replaced as “the” manufacturing hub as the US was and the UK before it. It’s an inevitability. Africa will probably become the default location, which is why the Chinese have been investing heavily there in preparation for the shift.

You are comparing a 6 foot penis with a 12 foot penis, the differences in scale are irrelevant: they are both friggin huge and WILL put a hole in your intestine if you turn your back on them.

Just for context, Univision (or what it’s technically now called, TelevisaUnivision) has 14,000 employees and annual revenue in the $4 billion range. Yeah, that’s not as big as Disney, but that’s still quite firmly in the “big corporation” ballpark.

Univision sold all the Gizmodo sites over 4 years ago and, yes, it’s a “big company” by almost every metric

lol wut? Univision is nowhere near “niche”. It’s a major multinational media conglomerate. 

I was never super interested in “The Problem” but this is a shit way for it to go out.

Still, maybe now Stewart might make the show I wanted him to make in the first place, and provide the thing the media is most sorely lacking right now - his interview skills. Stewart’s interviews were often the best part of his Daily…

Jon should be able to easily find a new distribution outlet and the necessary financing to continue this show, if he chooses to do so.  

The only good element of the pandemic was the deemphasis of China as a market for US-based entertainment, especially films, which increasingly muted any negative facets focused on China. But Apple has a special conflict of interest that will make it impossible to touch anything that could impact its relationship with…
