I wish I shared your optimism. But most of the things you mention on your list of reasons not to worry aren’t rules, they’re just traditions. And as we saw last time, if you’re willing to just completely ignore traditions, you can cause a LOT of havoc.

It’s not affiliated with Trump in the same way Captain Renault was shocked to find gambling at Rick’s.
Except... last week there was a speed trap on my way home, on a section of road where the speed limit is 25 but used to be higher. And boy did traffic slow down and... it’s continued to be closer to the speed limit this week. I only saw the cops one day, and only saw one car pulled over in my interactions with the…
There was a great ad by (I think) kelty tents when I was younger. Kelty makes perfectly serviceable- if heavy and mostly suited for car camping- tents that are very reasonably priced.
One of the biggest things I’ve been slowly learning as I get older is that nothing I buy is going to make me more able to go adventuring than I already am.
The first fun car I ever owned was a brand new bright red 1998 Isuzu Amigo. I had wanted a jeep but after being absolutely terrified on my test drive when the jeep tried to buck me out of the drivers seat on a bit of normal everyday road, I went with the Amigo, which had the same size but was much better on the road.…
Performance wise, Mercedes’ impersonation of a rock being tossed into the deepest part of the ocean for the 2022 season was worse but watching Red Bull tear itself apart has been filled with schadenfreude.
The problem with public transit is that it’s hard to find ways to insert extra fees. You can’t really do surge pricing, you can’t charge more for riding the bus longer, it’s just a good old fashioned service that just works. And that’s why the tech bros and the modern investor class hate it- there’s no ability for…
Let’s not forget Verstappen’s antics would have likely killed Lewis Hamilton were it not for the Halo. And that Verstappen didn’t even check on Hamilton post crash. And that he received a whopping 3 place penalty for the next race.
Showed “Goldfinger” to my teenage kiddo. They’re response: “so, honestly I think Pussy Galore should have stayed with goldfinger and double crossed bond. He may have been evil but at least he didn’t sexually assault her.”
Sure you are buddy.
Best way to see leaves is not from the road- there, you’re only going to see a limited variety- you need to head into the woods to really see those colors. I’ll recommend the Canyon Neuron because that medium-travel suspension is fantastic at sucking up hits from rocks and roots buried under leaves. And if you’re in…
Or you use pirate ship or bike flights or one of the other groups that cut shipping costs. Caveat: i’ve never used pirate ship or bike flights for luggage but I’ve shipped bikes and other things with them and they’ve been fantastic and cut shipping costs in half.
I vote for less sporty models of non sporty cars. Hear me out:
I have an aunt and uncle who have a unique solution to all the baggage fee stuff- they ship their bags ahead of them via fedex/ups. Costs about the same as fees for checked bags and carryons AND there’s no hassle with luggage getting lost, just exit the plane and go straight to the hotel.
My girlfriend tried this for…
Fellas. Do you think that the folks pushing this level of surveillance on sexual autonomy are going to top with just “who cares its just women I’m not a woman whatever”?
If it involves zero risk, zero cost and zero effort to trump, musk will totally get in the cabinet.
Yeah, it’s literally why he’s giving trump millions of dollars. Cheaper than actually making better products.
A fully loaded all the leather, all the trim packages, all the engine, all the giant grill 2024 Ford Superduty, because (god willing) it’ll be like looking at a fully loaded ‘78 Eldorado in the year 2000- just a giant bloated tick of a thing that is so excessive, so laughably over the top, it makes you understand that…
To be fair, the satellite was probably impacted by a piece of debris from some other satellite, which was in turn impacted by some other piece of garbage left in orbit by some shit someone launched into space in the 80s
