On the one hand, he was verbally told not to do it, and in general saying anything negative about your employer in public will come back to bite you, so shocked/notshocked here. On the other hand, it shouldn’t be that way. Too much weight (both for survival - health insurance and the like - and personal identity) is…

No, it’s someone who goes by “Custom Diecast Garage” in Instagram, but that’s a good lead to have too!

I managed to find someone who’d take me up on a commission to paint a couple of 1:64 diecasts to match my current car and my previous car. After trying on-and-off for half a year to get this done, this guy immediately said yes, so I’m really excited for this to finally come to fruition. Finding reference photos of my…

Yeah, I have to constantly suppress talking about my Volt (and solar installation which easily covers my Volt energy usage in the winter [when not covered in snow] and produces enough in the summer that National Grid pays us for the excess). I haven’t been subject to any ICE on (PH)EV vandalism but I’ve heard plenty…

Wow, what an awfully misleading headline.

Some content was cross-posted from Kotaku Australia (to the dismay of those writers). Other sites had a more airtight shutdown. This could all be found in the writers on Twitter, as well as GMG Union, not to mention looking at comments on some of the last articles posted before the strike where helpful commenters were…

I mean, trim levels are basically option packages. Right? Maybe back in the day they were performance levels that other stuff would be attached to, but in most cases todaythey’re just option packages that stack as you move up.

Ugh, it was in the original article? I did my own math for nothing!

The dealer I work at started getting them in early January. They look great in person - especially the matte gray (but man I would not want to go through the effort of keeping that thing clean).

Hm, yes, that math is indeed pretty off.

This is good to see! A friend of mine started working at FF around five years ago, I’m happy for him that his work is this much closer to actually hitting public roads.

Eh, this sounds like the sort of small car whose death we always lament, just slightly inflated to be just barely called an SUV rather than a hatchback. I’m, nominally, fine with this. I find it amazing what car companies are getting away with calling SUVs nowadays.

Mercedes, I know when Jason and David announced they were leaving, a lot of people (myself included, I regrettably admit) said there was nobody left worth reading. I remembered after the fact (but couldn’t find my comment to amend it, due to Kinja) that I’ve absolutely enjoyed your writing - and will continue coming…

Well I’ve got something to read while it’s too snowy at work to actually get anything done. Thanks!

I thought there was a bathroom you woke up in after having too many, or after the poisoning... though I might be confusing it with a similar scene in Andromeda...

I mean, they survived for years selling below MSRP. They can sell at MSRP, get a ton of goodwill, get traffic from around the area... and still make bank on used vehicles. Sell at MSRP, you’ll be fine.

How do these compare from the first game? It took me a while to get used to finding handholds in Zero Dawn but now it’s second nature, for instance, so I’m not worried about that. How does loot stack up? Is the default weapon wheel slowdown comparable to, or faster than, Zero Dawn’s? Especially as a sequel, I feel…

I mean that’s more or less how it goes. Pat the guy on the back, until the moment the window in front of him opens. Then, with your hand already in position, you shove. Until they have a rock solid case to get rid of him without his contractual golden parachute, they won’t shit talk him.

Prices are up across the menu. Getting a McChicken for a buck and a double cheeseburger for two is a way better meal proposition than a Big Mac meal for like eight or nine bucks or whatever it is now.

I look forward to seeing what you do. Aside from Tom’s occasional car buying insights, yours were the only bylines that still excited me. I enjoyed Doug’s writing here, time and ago; Kristin was fantastic. Matt, Travis, Stef.
