The Clarity is interesting because they built it in three versions: Fuel cell, plug-in hybrid, and battery electric. The fuel cell suffers from poor fuel availability, and the battery-electric has so-so range. But I own the PHEV, and it’s very well done. I got it to replace a Volt, and it’s superior in every way…

The Ioniq5 looks like a 1980s idea of a futuristic car and I’m here for it. I love that bold crease down the side, I love the grid taillights. It looks like something out of Total Recall. The only thing I don’t like is the wheels, which don’t really fit the styling of the rest of the car.

Yeah, as a queer person “cheap to live there” is not outweighed by “run by someone who wants me dead.” I just hope his national political ambitions don’t go anywhere.

People want healthy food. They also want convenient food. It’s unfortunate that the two seem to be diametrically opposed.

I think given that the comparison is to New York, population density is not a big factor here. At least not in that direction.

As a CA resident I would be in favor of that as long as we didn’t have to have anything to do with FL afterwards.

True, but I don’t really like the non-clicky mechanical switches. If there’s no tactile feedback before the key bottoms out my typing speed suffers.

I have a Keychron K2, and it’s really nice to type on and very reasonably priced for a wireless mechanical keyboard. Unfortunately it’s noisy enough my coworkers complained, so I had to go back to a standard Apple Magic Keyboard. Shame.

It’s the obvious strategy, although one the SEC might have a word about.

He’s also on cable news, which  means his audience probably averages 60+ years old.

Jim Cramer’s bit is to encourage day trading. Which is great at racking up fees for brokerages but not really a responsible way for most people to earn money.

I’ve remarked before that there’s absolutely no scenario where I’d become a billionaire, because once I had enough to live on for the rest of my life there’s no way I’d keep working.

All of the psychoactive effects of cigarettes come from nicotine, not just the addictive effects. A lot of people didn’t just start smoking because it was fun, they did it as a way of self-medicating anxiety or other mental health problems. That’s one of the reasons it’s so hard to quit. Not only is it addictive,…

Disc wheels were indeed high tech in the 20s. And after WWII many vehicles, especially trucks, were converted to take advantage of better tire availability. I have a motorcycle trailer that a guy made back in 1972 from the front axle and bits of the frame of some kind of pre-WWII truck — I’ve never been able to…

2 seconds works if the car in front of you slams on the brakes. It doesn’t work in rarer situations like this, where the car comes to an immediate and sudden stop.

I’m pretty sure flashing high beams just means “I hate you,” kind of like the horn. I once had a guy flash me in Seattle when I was already in the rightmost lane.

Elon does seem to be having doubts about the future of BEVs. He’s now pro-drilling. It might be part of his slow transformation into a 1950s-style Republican CEO.

As I recall NBC had some weird qualms about showing anyone dead (e.g., you couldn’t show a corpse with open eyes.)

I feel like that’s admirable, but it also makes me question why a show like “Wander Over Yonder” got canceled in spite of everyone involved wanting to do another season. I can’t help but feel like there’s an element of sexism involved; men get a lot more deference in Hollywood decision-making.

Or he’s in Hungary learning from Republicans’ current favorite authoritarian.
