I don’t feel like the Solstice and Sky were really intended to compete with the Miata. I think it was more that Dodge was also showing off a Demon which looked like a smaller Viper that was to be more of a 2 seat roaster that normal people cold buy and GM wanted to beat them to it. I think it wa smore of a car that…

US OEM’s have been essentially out of the sedan game for quite some time. They could not produce them for decent profits for quite some time. 

Wow, and you wonder why I think you bought everything coming out of his mouth, hook, line, and sinker.

It depends. I took my first cruise ever this past fall, 6 nights. It was not in the Caribbean, 98% of passengers were not American, there were ZERO children, the scenery was great, the food was great, there were only about 275 passengers, and most people did not speak English as their first language. It was wonderful.

I tried that.

To head off the “why did she wait” morons: she had to sign an NDA just to take the job, and a recent rule change in CA now excludes sexual assault from NDA coverage.

These cases go anywhere from cops not interviewing anyone and nothing happening up to finding people that anyone would have talked to along with texts/emails from the time of the incident (see the recent Majors case). It helps if there are records of calls/texts/emails from the date of the incident from anyone…

ah yes the “america is too big” argument. what’s next, “american freight rail can’t electrify because of double stacks”?

This just in: Elon Musk never intended to actually build his Hyperloop idea in California. He proposed it just to stop the high-speed rail project. That was news to me when Paris Marx, a technology writer from Canada, wrote about Musk for Time magazine and posted on Twitter Thursday. He quotes Musk’s official…

worth pointing out that Private Jet flights are on the rise and is forecasted to DOUBLE by 2026. source: https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2023/08/29/2733696/0/en/Private-Jet-Charter-Services-Market-Size-and-Share-Analysis-Growth-Trends-and-Forecasts-2023-2028.html

Likely he was probationary at THIS department, probably after quietly resigning from or being fired by another department. Guessing that he likely has a long history of being a cop.

pigs gonna pig tbh but think about the culture in that police station if a PROBATIONARY officer, one not even allowed to do shit on their own, had the balls to try and pull this shit. That means the whole force likely is rotten to the core.

It’s not enough, but the prosecutor agreed to release Mr. Morris on his own recognizance this morning. The security cam footage posted on twitter shows they were likely driving too fast, came too close to a parked car and overcorrected. This story is such garbage and it’s high time SLMPD is held accountable for their…

Interesting, raising your voice is causing a disturbance but crashing your 5,500 pound SUV police cruiser through the front wall is apparently not.

from the article you’re talking about:

But the Emerald mine heir says that autopilot is ten times less likely to crash than a human driver! How can this be? Did he overstate something to sell more shit? That can’t be true! /s

This place really has fallen apart since Torchinsky left.

“The cars? Fine, affordable, did what they needed to.”

It’s such a fundamental aspect of modern capitalism that people refuse to believe things have a shelf life, and that no matter how popular or god forbid profitable something is, one day, even if everything goes perfectly to plan, that thing will stop being both. It’s happened in broad public view thousands of times…

I mean, convoluted is an understatement.
