45 bucks for a bulb that will eventually burn out

I’m pretty sure any color-changing bulb can be programmed to do that. I have a cheapo knock-off Hue called Delite, and it can easily be programmed to change color and/or brightness according to a schedule you set. For example, 6 AM orange, 6:05 AM yellow, 6:10 AM white, 7 AM turn off (for when you go to work, etc.)

Christ, this is the best photography I’ve seen on Jalopnik in at least a year. Absolutely stunning. All my favorite classics and contemporaries all in one show. One thing that strikes me is how well the Enzo is aging, it still looks like a brand-new fighter jet from the future, 15 years later.

You see, I find the bus fantastic for these reasons: It is air-conditioned properly, and most of the time empty. Thus you get a seat. Also you don’t have to worry about hipsters or jackasses who bring their bikes on, because the bus driver isn’t having any of that shit.

Also, colors! Real, glorious colors, such that my eyes perceive them and are happy.

I like the look of this car, and I’m honestly kind of excited about it, which is weird to say about a Kia. I think they went the right direction with the name, too; it’s important to have a serious, sporty-sounding name if you want people to take your first proper sports car seriously. And I especially appreciate that

1) Fancy Kristen would not dare sully herself with riding a bus. Buses are for poors and traveling musicians.

Nice hatch.

Negligible. Vampire power draw is really always negligible. If you toast a piece of bread one time or blow-dry your hair once or cook something in a microwave one time you have used more power than any vampire draw for a whole year in most households.

Also, never trust insurance companies.

My insurance card for my Saturn Vue says Truck. What do you think?

Why wouldn’t Christian von Koenigsegg just be “hanging out”? He’s not The Rock, he can go to the mall and walk around anonymously. He’s also wearing his little sister’s polkadot shirt for some reason.

Wonder how much parents pay for their kid’s cell phones/bills vs how much they put away in their kid’s 529?

It’s not any worse than the Android fanatics.

“Since we know battery life has curved downward over time”... but that is patently untrue!

Battery tech itself has matured much more slowly than the tech it’s used with, sure, but all the processors and miniaturization of other parts have increased their power efficiency massively - and that is the main focus of most

They were always expensive, it just that they charged you less upfront for the phone and made you sign a two year contract. The rest of the price was baked into that contract. At least now, when you finance, when the terms are up the cost per month goes down. Before if you didn’t get a new phone after two years, your

Yeah I thought the whole “Apple Fanboy” and “Android Fanboy” stuff would die out as someone gets out of grade school, but I guess some people are obsessed with shaming others for nothing more than the products that they purchase.

Daily use ergonomics do tend to take a back seat to visual aesthetics in modern phone designs, but I still contend that putting a case on any flagship phone is akin to covering a Ferrari in rubber before pulling out of the driveway.

Or make a youtube video of yourself smashing it with a hammer. The ad revenue alone should more than pay for the $1,000 phone...
