Jaguar’s spending a year dead, for tax reasons.

Serious question. Are cars built for rental fleets made somehow differently than the comparably equipped cars sold to consumers? Or perhaps hobbled in software by the rental company?

I saw a ton of these Utes in Mexico. It’s more like a Suburu Baja than a true midsize pick up, but still, it’d be nice for buyers to have more options.

I think Zandozan assassin from The Last Starfighter.

Republican-on-Republican crime = Democrats need to stop stoking the fires of hatred and violence. 

In the applications I’ve used a CVT, it was worse than a standard slushbox.

Nope, you pretty much summed it up. 

I was in Puerto Vallarta for vacation a week ago and utes, utes e’erywhere. I saw Chevy, VW, and Ram utes.  I also saw a BMW hot hatch that was pretty nifty looking. 

CVTs are good in theory, but every time I’ve driven a car with one in it, I spontaneously vomit - because they are rotten.

Another issue, and correct me if I’m wrong, but the airlines don’t start the pay clock for staff until the cabin door closes. If you have to be present, you have to be paid. That would be one change they should fight for. 

That’s true.  

The problem people that are this stupid, is that they have no idea just how stupid they are. You see, if you are very, very stupid, how could you possibly realize you are very, very stupid?

There’s zero furtiveness about what The Boys is about. 

I’ve only ever had even the slightest success with the Socratic method. I do almost none of the talking. 

I tend to be pessimistic about anyone who’s on the fence about who they’re gonna vote for in the upcoming election.  I mean, if you haven’t flat out rejected Trump, I’m not sure what kind of person you are. Are you a SUPER low-information voter, or just nazi-curious?

I don’t think anyone is trying to change minds. It simply isn’t possible. The ossification is inherent to the mindset. 

Deplorable, even.

I think Annihilation is very different from the book and yet it captures the tone of the books just about perfectly.

What kind of woke liberal nonsense is this?
