This is impossibly stupid and why we need to stop idolizing these tech billionaires. How smart can they be if they’ve forgotten that trains exist?

I like what almost looks to be a +/- symbol next to the bow tie. “It’s a Chevy, more or less.”

I don’t think automakers will much care whom they’re selling to one way or another. It’s probably easier for them to sell 10,000 copies of the same thing in a bulk order to Uber than it is to maintain an extensive dealer network and the pretense of catering to individual drivers.

It’s almost as if Toyota puts more cars on the road than anyone else.

How is this better in any way than trains?

First I thought: “These asshole racist moms have nothing better to do than to fight on the internet.”

I won’t blame the cops for the death of Heather Heyer, but I absolutely do blame them for being in close proximity to the beating of Deandre Harris and doing fuck all.

That one tool is also directly correlated to grossly outsize violent death statistics in the places where it is widely available, but by all means let’s keep pretending the two are the same. These guys.

Isn’t this agreeing with me? I don’t mean literally 6'10", I mean that the physical constraint of being able to get a ball over the rim is greater than being able to hit a home run.

I think the only reason this seems confusing is the ease with which it seems like the dunking population could get this done. You lock a 6'10" person in a gym and tell them they can’t come out until they dunk, and they’ll be home by lunch. A five-footer is going to die in there. There’s no real similar criterion for…

Also, what’s clumsy about them? Slide right for hot and left for cold. Slide to these positions for these outputs. It’s the same thing as a knob, but linear. Does it look dated? Sure, but let’s be clear that that’s not a functionality critique—we just like new shiny things every generation or so.

Consider that rich people ran out of things to buy so long ago that they came up with something called toggery, and someone makes a very good living selling it.

This might be overthinking, and the wrong place for this, but I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the use of the word “evil” in cases like this. I don’t think I like it.

I’m standing by my point about Paris, even though its modern iteration is only about 150 years old: you’d be hard-pressed to make that kind of urban density and activity happen in the American context, out of whole cloth. I’m not saying people don’t want to or shouldn’t shop, eat, take in a game, etc. That’s basically…

This is fair; I should have been more clear to say that I meant “perfectly” somewhat ironically—that is, to build something like this without adding strain to your regional highway network, you have to make it so that people don’t have reason to leave. (Not that this is a desirable condition for residents). But you’re…

He wouldn’t have had to leave Chicago, perfect!

(architectural designer, studied architecture and urbanism at school) Little bit of both, though mostly the former. As mentioned in the piece, it’s a little bit weird and ultimately very suburban to try to develop like this in a place with minimal to zero public transit options. To execute this perfectly you’re…

How is it possible that Paulie is the only person who doesn’t understand he’s playing a bit part in a roadshow? In this context he exists solely for exactly these sorts of pictures to be taken and disseminated, that more fools might more quickly be parted with that sweet sweet pay-per-view money. Shut up and cash the…

This is a super annoying opinion, and many ostensibly educated people seem to hold it. There are so many problems with it:

I think those are M-sport wheels, so I think 2010-2013 528 or 535i .
