For several years I lived without owning a car and just rented as needed. Eventually I missed the convenience of just hopping in a car on impulse so decided to buy a fun car, strictly for recreational driving. The irony of my situation was that I kind of needed a car to get around and shop for a car. So, to work…

They just need a name change to sell well (better) in the US. I would bet if they were called something simple but explanatory like Coffee Cookies instead of Digestives they’d find a better reception.

Agreed. This is completely workable in Europe. I’ve taken several trips on high speed rail that were between 2 to 3/5 hours and I couldn’t imagine dealing with the airport bullshit instead. But here in Canada as a case in point, given the state of our passenger rail network, 2.5 hours won’t even get you far enough…

Neutral: I will never ride a bike in my city. Not even if it’s free. I already walk everywhere, including to and from work so I’m already doing my part for the environment, my health or whatever other good thing we might want to say. And to be clear, living within walking distance of everything is entirely by design,…

Everyone who treats this shit head, and yes that’s all this Bankman guy is, with kid gloves or with some sort of reverence, as though he actually possesses some special financial knowledge, is only doing it because anything else would force them to admit they’re morons and got taken for a ride by this fraudulent clown.…

It’s more of a Shelbyville idea.

Great tip for participating this way (without downloading or buying) for those who are so inclined.

Relax. Just shit talking the Cryptobros here.

Wait, so you’re telling me that enough Cryptobros actually bought these cars, and in sufficient numbers to affect the resale market price?

The effort put into the photography and presentation of the car is maddening.

Not too long ago I had a 2020 Land Rover Discovery as a rental. Covered a little more than 300km overall and it did not break down or demonstrate any inexplicable electrical failures, which honestly exceeded my expectations.

In fairness, at least you acknowledge that it looks like “a sloppy mess” because that picture is not appetizing to me. 

1st gear: Gotta love the “well, other companies maim more employees than we do” line of defense.

Eat faster! The price keeps going up!

Oh they’ll stay alright. Get renamed though. Emergency surplus container charge, Destination container storage charge...

Interesting. There’s a Brandy Melville store that I see fairly regularly on my weekend walks. It’s routinely puzzled me a little because it always has a lineup to get in and all the girls waiting look the same.

Until today I had never seen a photo of this Fried Bankman. I don’t know what I was expecting but it wasn’t a John Belushi Animal House lookalike. Who gave this dude money??

With very little effort, I can find a slightly newer model in great, original condition for considerably less money up front which allows me to spend up to $10K on mods, should I want to, entirely as I see fit. This may be a nice car but it’s also a very easy ND.

I’m adding a rule: don’t browse the grocery store.

“:And the reasoning behind that decision is based almost entirely on how the food appears in the video: 72% of all survey respondents said seeing appetizing-looking food spurred them to place an order at the restaurant.”
