I tried romancing Vetra my first time but it was so unfulfilling. My second time I said screw it and romanced Reyes Vidal. He’s the most interesting NPC in my book. Quippy, sure, if that’s what you hate then fine, no helping that; but he felt a bit more complex and was just plain satisfying for my slightly immature…

Fuck, man, that’s my local hospital. Fuck that neurologist and fuck the hospital for calling others in the area to deny her further treatment.

The Saturn Ion you showed is a pretty great choice.

This is one where there is not an alternative yet. Diesel is the best there is for long haul trucking right now, so unless California plans to build out its freight rail system then rely on EV trucks for last-mile - or depots at the state border so other states can either keep the rail going or bring in their diesel…

I worked at an indie game store ten years ago, which stocked a good variety of Monster Energy. I made a sign for behind the counter that said, “Children left unattended will be given Monster Energy and returned to their parents.” Wasn’t an official policy and didn’t impact anything, but it made me feel better.

The back seat is a great place to put a box of tissues, a bag of D&D material (books, dice), and a towel to keep around for wiping down the windshield when it starts to fog up too easily. These could go in the front but that usually holds my bag, a paper bag for garbage, and sometimes my wife.

I had that experience but with a pedestrian on a narrow shoulder. Tried to give them room, lane keep assist more like lane keep INsist on murder.

Man, remember when Uber was a, “Hey, make an extra couple bucks with your car,” rather than a widespread method of “public” transportation that is bad for almost everyone involved?

Mizkif, attributing the idea to his acquaintance, the politics streamer Destiny...

Markiplier mentioned this on a recent PowerWash video with... MatPat, I think. He said, if YouTube fails TOMORROW, he could live the rest of his life comfortably, he’s made enough that he’ll be fine (then went on to say that he would still try to find a way to express himself creatively, look for the next platform,…

You know, I just assumed that there was a duplicate Beast in common overseas locations.

Yeah, I hate it when people here crap on cheap cars. My wife has an Outlander Sport that she got for like $14k or $15k.

When I think of Volvo, I think of cars that are more expensive than the ones I’m usually cross-shopping, but apparently the XC60 starts in the mid $40s, which - don’t get me wrong - still way too rich for my blood, but actually right in line with the average car price.

Honest thank you for the measured take on ME3's ending.

I wouldn’t say worthless. A lot of people shopping at IKEA probably aren’t driving more than an hour to do so, and a level 2 charger can give you 20-30 miles over an hour, depending on the car and all. As a PHEV driver, I’d love to see more level 2 adoption at places like that. And again, installing a lot of 240v AC…

4th: I feel like Ikea is a Level 2 use case, not Level 3, because that is so much time that a car is sitting there plugged in and not actually charging. Level 2 installs a lot cheaper and they could install so much more of it, for how long people will be in the stores.

Yeah, it’s Sport as in “sporty looking”. If it’s in a model name, like all of these, then it just means smaller. If it’s a trim, then you might get a mild boost of power (Elantra Sport) or just some appearance package stuff, but I’ve never seen it apply to an actual performance trim.

“...identical to the regular Santa Fe in every aspect, just with a shorter wheelbase.”

Considering how the Jalop writer took this to be, “EV owners shouldn’t charge as much,” when the push is actually for them to charge off-peak... yeah this wasn’t a good article.

I mean, it was still a thing last I knew - maybe not a push to get flight attendants to do it, but in 2019, I remember a flight being very delayed, and the redeeming factor was a couple of sassy-ass flight attendants. “If the green light is on it means the WiFi is working but it works when it wants to so good luck…
