You got a great deal on that loan, though. Don’t beat yourself up, it wasn’t a terrible decision. Like, if you had plunked down 20k on a used Italian car without a warranty and then had to pay payments AND all kinds of crazy maintenance costs... Then maybe it would’ve been a bad decision. Depending on how pretty the…

So $2600+$854 for depreciation and interest on loan equals $3454. That means you had reliable transportation (a necessity for your job aka your income) for four years at $863/year. I’m ignoring maintenance and insurance, because those costs have nothing to do with the loan. Also, buying used means you saved money on…

My wife’s mini has a check engine light that will sporadically turn off on its own. It will come on again only to go out again. I just assumed that was a result of that legendary British wiring.

Yeah I mentioned that in the article you didn’t read

Doesn’t everything?

When the content wears down from too many charging cycles, we send it back to the Gigapublisher for recycling.

Hopefully we’ll have freed ourselves from the oppressive cycle of content in six years and won’t read those articles.

Mazda5. It’s a manual transmission minivan with wavy-wavy lines on the side.

“Playing the middle” doesn’t work when one side is based in facts and logic and the other is based on lies, stupidity, and wilfull ignorance of reality. Trump’s blatant fabrications (which constantly contradict each other) do not deserve the same consideration as verifiable facts. Personal feelings and opinions and…

Here’s a pull quote from an article that is ten years old dissecting the mass media utter failure in the run-up to the Iraq War six year prior to that.

It’s important to remember that tweets about President Trump by our reporters and editors are taken as a statement from The New York Times as an institution, even if posted by those who do not cover him. The White House doesn’t make a distinction.

“The pursuit of balance can create imbalance because sometimes something is true.”

This springs immediately to mind! From a far better writer than I’ll ever be…

Good thing we’ve outlawed using our cell phones while driving so that we can now be focused on the massive 10" screen off to the side to control the entire car...much safer!

Putting windshield wiper controls in a freaking menu that you have to poke around for on a touchscreen while you are driving in the rain is a perfect example of how Tesla is a techbro company first, car company second.

I don’t see how Seattle isn’t at or near the top of this list. The entire I-5, all the way down to Olympia, is a complete abortion and makes that entire region close to unlivable for commuters IMO. I wouldn’t even dream of taking a job more than 5 miles (i.e. about 40-45 minutes during rush) from my house, or buying a…

Too bad that support for the Pang also makes you an unwitting accomplice in the Pandolvia regime and their myriad of human rights abuses. The dome you so casually mentioned was built on the backs of ordinary Pandolovia’s. Rather than wax romantically on the byproducts of an evil regime, you should join the resistance…

This is a good show to enjoy offline, alone or with friends, and far, far away from shitstorms like Reddit.

>because of those fans, the show is becoming easy to hate

That’s not a bad solution, but I was trying to think of something that would work even in the worst-case/barely-an-inch between bumpers scenario.
