I was thinking it looks like an older Volkswagen offering. Buy yeah, bland.

This was quite the ride.

Incentivizing moving away from fossil fuels has a long-term net benefit not just to our society, but the entire world. I’d rather my tax dollars go towards paying for an EV than yet another bomb to shuffle rocks around in yet another middle east resource war.

COLOR!

I think Volvo is making some incredibly good-looking sedans and wagons.

Oooh, oooh, I know this one!

I have been reading old sci-fi on a lark for the past few months and went into Alfred Bester’s “The Stars my Destination” knowing nothing about it. It had to have been the equivalent of The Matrix in it’s day. It has a lot of 50s chauvinism baked into it, but damn, if it isn’t the most Cyberpunk thing I’ve ever read.…

I honestly can’t tell the difference between $30 red wine and $9 red wine most of the time. 

I think the title is a bit tongue in cheek, because the video itself is a quite good primer on how the technology works. 

Only if there is a pressure differential. Once a beer can fills with water, you could drop it in the Marianas Trench and it would probably make it to the bottom without so much as a dent. The plane wasn’t a submarine. Once it fills with water, it could drift down relatively intact. 

Oh, man, I really really want to get either a 4c or a Lotus evora. How has your ownership been with the 4C? Also, how do you feel about the Giulia?

ContiContacts DWS are my go-to tire for my PNW locale. I put dedicated snow tires on my vehicle that takes me to the lifts, but everything else runs all year on the Continentals. They’re truly fantastic.

There’s a Lada Niva I pass every day when I take my kiddo to school and that was my first thought as well. 

We just need a bunch of mylar balloons in low earth orbit and problem solved.

because our entire society is built on a kind of Ponzi scheme requiring infinite growth. The current workers will cover the costs of the previous gen, but only as long as there are more of them. What happens when you have 1:1 parity between the retirees and the existing workforce? Yeah, people aren’t gonna want to…

Nice. 

I tried taking a drink every time the word “Brotherhood” was uttered and woke up in the ICU. 

Right, I was sitting there thinking, the other manufacturers are going for hard-edged rectangles and geometric creases. YOU’RE the only one that remotely looks melted jellybean-ish. 

That’s just like the time the Hindu guy at McDonald’s wouldn’t let me order a hamburger. He said filet o’ fish or chicken nuggets were all he could do.

A kinda shitty, low-level henchman though.
