“Weekly playlists with new songs designed around what you listen to. Playlists for certain activites (Driving to the beach, cardio workout, focusing...there’s thousands).” Hmmm...that might be enough to get me to try it.

I do have an iPhone and I do use Twitter. I just don’t get Spotify.

Hey, so as a total aside, and since you said you love Spotify, I have a couple of questions for you. (FYI I’m about to sound like I’m 80 years old, but I’m not quite yet 40 lol). How does Spotify WORK? Is it just a music streaming service like Pandora? Do you purchase songs for it? Do you have to designate favorites…

Right?!? Especially since they’re pointed nose downward so they could see their impending demise. <shivers>

Now THIS is a good story to start my day. What could have been a completely horrific accident turned out relatively well due to the correct actions by everybody involved. This is the kind of thing they should show to everyone considering towing anything as to what the POSITIVE outcomes can be if you just follow the…

All the sorority girls will be dying for one of these

My two sons (now 10.5 and 7 YO) are very much into camping and hiking, and as such last summer I had planned to start taking them to national parks in an effort to get them to as many in the lower 48 as possible. Since that didn’t happen in 2020, we’re looking at starting it up this summer instead.

Oh I completely agree with you for sure that almost certainly this was a maintenance issue. It just bugs me when the headline is like “Boeing 777 suffers catastrophic engine failure” when dammit Boeing didn’t have anything to do with it. I wasn’t clear about that - my bad for sure.

I like that the name Pratt & Whitney is being mentioned here, because often times the news media blames the airframe manufacturer (in this case Boeing) for an engine failure, which is not their responsibility and not something they even built. In fact, the Boeing fuselage and control systems did a very nice job of…

That’s...literally the entire point of adaptive cruise control? Do you not understand how it’s supposed to work, or what?

I’m a salesperson at a dealership (not FCA, unfortunately), and we get 30% on any gross over $3000/sale, so...yeah, I wish my cars grossed $100k/month lol.

Fought the Nazis at 20 and fought a global pandemic at 100. Pretty freaking good legacy to leave behind. A tip of the cap to Sir Captain Tom.

I figured that might be the case, and since I’m pushing 40, I’m used to the long slow buildup. It just looks and sounds like something some high school kids put together in a parking lot and not a famous action movie. Maybe it’s just me and I’m okay with that. Or I’ll just skip to the second one. 

All right, here is as good of a place as any to unveil my incredibly unpopular opinion: Mad Max is terrible. I have tried REPEATEDLY to watch in on Netflix in the last few months, and I cannot get past the first 20 minutes or so without turning it off for lack of interest. Why is this movie so popular? What am I…

I take your point, although an Accord and a Q5 are like apples and oranges - different manufacturers, different engines, etc. A Mazda6 is rated at 26/35 while a CX-5 with the same engine is 25/31. That’s almost no difference at all and well within the variance that is to be expected among different driving styles. I…

To your three points: 1) not only do current SUVs get comparable gas mileage to the same size sedans, thus rendering gas price irrelevant, but there are going to be EV SUVs at the same time there are EV cars, so that’s a total wash. 2) There are so, so many people at least in the US that live in areas that are…

Pretty sure “Acura”te was on purpose

I think if you read my clarifying response to one of the other posters, you will see that I am referring to the economic climate of the early 60s - you know, when CEOs and other corporate types weren’t raping the working class for every penny, when economic opportunities were more available, when we actually had a…

I gave that quite a bit of thought before posting my comment. And yes, socially things are quite a bit better than they were then (the recent rise of out in the open American fascism being a rather notable counterexample).
