I can’t like this post hard enough.

Specifically I was saying that “until you prove a negative, it can always be a positive” is a scientific truth. It could be better worded as “Until you prove something is false, it might be true”. I think that is a corollary to your statement “Something doesn’t get to be true until it’s proven true”, perhaps reworded…

As part of the discussion of how wrong you are, I have to add that farts, and all other smells, are particulate. Yes, we’ve all farted in a restaurant. But to do so without discretion is literally flinging your own feces onto the faces and plates of others and not caring about it.

Except it was, essentially, always there to begin with, from an in-universe perspective. He gave in to the dark side to save Padme, not because of some inherently evil nature. He started good and the dark side simply hadn’t eaten it all away yet by the time of RotJ.

You’re not wrong, but I’d imagine we’ll find an alternative, and in the meantime we’ll still be growing a lot of cattle for meat, dairy, and leather production. Either way this whole thing is a net gain for humanity. If/when it gets cheap enough, this could revolutionize how we feed everybody, but I’m really thinking…

Every group has people that want to convert non-members into members, or act out their beliefs in a non-acceptable manner. If you’re going to judge any group based on those members, frankly, you’re doing it wrong. Not all Muslims fly planes into buildings. Not all Christians tip nothing and leave a tract. And not all…

A lot of families, especially with 1 maybe 2 kids, and younger parents, buy CUVs because they offer most of the comfort and economy of a car, but with the extra cargo space. We had a CRV for the first couple years with my son because we couldn’t fit strollers and pack-and-play and etc. into the cars we had at the…

I really dislike that the obvious winner, the Toyota 2000GT, was used in the article picture and is, IIRC, now disqualified. Only the Z8 approaches it on looks and rarity and awesome, and then it wasn’t as historically groundbreaking as the 2000GT.

Hey. Thanks for lumping all of us in Birmingham into one homogeneous right-wing crazytown. I love being told how I feel about things. It’s not like there are overzealous jerks all over the country, right? These must have escaped from The Capital of Crazy, Birmingham Alabama.

The price is comparable to a 1990 NA adjusted for inflation.

I am instantly enraged by anyone who “sold his E-Type to make room”. Make room for what? Ever? There are an absurdly low number of cars that can go in that room and it not be a travesty. I love the 355 but there’s no way it substitutes for an E-Type.

I hate that I have to do this, but I do.

Generally I agree with you, but the author did specifically say this was going to be unedited driving notes.

Did you even read the part where he specifically says the government is NOT loaning people money? They're just providing a service whereby borrowers are directed to trusted lenders, instead of those known to exercise predatory practices.

Nah. 234,980 km/h is right when you're in Europe, since they use commas where we use decimals and vice-versa. So for us it'd be 234.980 km/h. 1,234.56 = 1.234,56

My family had a manual Aerostar. No mechanic ever believed my dad when he told them what we had. And that transmission broke more than once. Totally awful vehicle.
