Escalate the situation and threaten vandalism. Much better way of handling things. The “public” does not include business which are privately owned. They can tell you to be quiet if they want. You can tell them to go to hell. If they tell you to leave and you don’t then YOU are in the wrong. 

“Popular Apps” includes a taxi hailing app from Angola now? There will always be scummy apps. Just like there will always be click bait bloggers.

I picked up a 96 850 glt with only 75k recently. That thing is still a baby 

I’ll be different.

That’s called Google Maps

Np all day long.

I hax one of those and loved it. 10-10 would buy again

Every Midwestern casserole must also contain condensed cream of mushroom/chicken soup and a bag of frozen mixed veggies.

That is incorrect. Lineage is based on AOSP which is “Google-less”. The Google stuff is added separate from the OS itself and not absolutely necessary.

I also never said I was offended. And if not negatively slanted the pedantic analysis of the commentary is at very least mismatched to the tone of the posts. Enjoy your award!

Out of my entire reply, that was the part that you decided to read. I never said you said you were offended. I did try to put a word of warning out there about honesty on the internet and moose bites. Quite the cherry picker aren’t we? Twice now you’ve taken a light hearted comment and given it a negative spin. I hear…

Relevance is to add color to an anecdote. A whole rainbow of color. And it’s probably a fake story. And there’s no reason it would make any reasonable person not appreciate the gesture. Unless they’re a bigot. But then they probably wouldn’t be dropping in the gay bar bit at the end of the story. Or have really been…

This could have only come out of Apple. “Our predictions are good, you’re just using it wrong”

Those are really all manufacturer benefits. To the consumer the only potential benefits I could thing of are reliability and physical size. I’ve never had any reliability issues with physical keyboards. The thinness race is dumb IMHO and has lead to removals that are net negative.

I could see the argument, but in my book this is not a van. All of the “by design” vans that have doors opening out rather than sliding have one open forward and one back. That really big easily accessible opening has to be a criteria. On top of that the 350 has a cargo space layout more like an SUV. Sure the seats…

Those are “full size” van sized. A bit better than the previous selection but still not on “mini van” scale. I haven’t seen anything made recently with these features on the same physical scale. If you know of one please let me know.

That is not something you would realistically daily drive though. This is. It’s really similar to layout and function of the old Westfalia ones which I spent much of my childhood riding in on a regular basis.

Alright let me try this, I’m imagining her with the most pandering southern dawl...

Seriously? Everything else is well written and then you just toss the random... I’m not even sure what to call it. Slang? It sounds a touch mockingly racist coming out of a white guy though.

I always got the sense that it was terrible writing that put those words in her mouth. If you see her in some of the older “Clarkson” era bits she’s nowhere near as over the top with everything. I think she’d do great if they let her speak for herself.
