That was also my first thought. I never got to drive one, but I’ve seen many commenters talk about how it handles way better than anyone expects it to, so my assumption is that would make for a better track car. The biggest knocks were always the style & outward visibility, which aren’t nearly as important when you…

That is a great looking roadster, though. Really wish I got to see those instead of the cybertrucks that have hit the road. 

A sugar daddy and a “regular” relationship aren’t exactly the same thing, there is a very limited availability of people who can even operate with that dynamic. Despite thinking it is weird, I won’t rain on the parade of 2 consenting adults, I hope they enjoy themselves. However, having a major difference in power…

I remember being really annoyed with my friends when I first watched it because I was getting so into it, and they started interrupting because they didn’t care for the songs. Now I just return to it on my own from time to time because it remains such a good experience. 

I’m a similar age, but I knew a bunch of the songs before because of my dad. I still loved the movie and listen to the album with the actor’s versions. There are a few songs where I thoroughly prefer the movie version over the Beatles.

I believe the common sociology/psychology ‘equation’ is half your age plus 7 as the lowest limit for dating. I feel like that 7 should incrementally increase every year once someone turns 18, since there are so many major life changes for people after that and keeps the gas closer as the older age increases, but that…

I expect with the new anti-abortion laws, we’ll see a renewed push for AoC getting lower as a means of forcing teenagers to give birth because they’re “adults” now. Texas has doctor on a state maternity committee who is on record claiming girls as young as 9 are capable of giving birth safely & TN managed to get a…

You say that as though women didn’t spend several decades fighting to change not only those practices, but many aspects of the Civil Rights movement. It took a bit of convincing to get a government loaded with openly, legally sexist men to let women be equal citizens.

As long as the price is around market value, it is really easy to justify restoring an excellent looking car. I expect there are plenty of old heads who barely know/care who Paul Walker was that will happily take this on. 

Until the 60s/early 70s, it was still legal to deny women access to jobs, university, bank accounts, & credit lines for simply being women. It was standard practice to require a husband to sign off things like that. If being a wife is the only way to live in society, I imagine they wanted to make that happen just…

It’s usually the exact opposite, where they run on timers during peak hours and activate quickly on sensors in off hours. Places where it takes forever could be perpetually on a timer, but the timer doesn’t start until you activate the sensor.

Seeing that I have a pretty stressful week ahead at work, I’m going to ignore that until another time when I want to be disappointed by some horrible political plan. 

In 1655, abortion was legal until quickening and for several hundred years after that, more or less. Which means the woman was actually the one who decided when their fetus became a human back then. However, when abortions started to get more popular amongst the WASPs in the late 1800s, a doctor’s fear of the racist gr…

Don’t forget trains, it also can’t see trains. 

I wonder if we’ll eventually see a headline that says a FSD Tesla plowed into an ambulance that was responding a FSD Tesla that hit a truck.

It is really hard to judge how much bad decisions will cost and really easy to look at bids and determine exactly what the cheapest option is. My clients are always swaying between 3rd party inspection, in house inspection, and just letting contractors self-report. Self-reporting is always the cheapest up until…

Technically, maybe, but also not entirely. The Civil Rights Act was in 1964 and Voting Rights Act in 1965. Before that, “states rights” could really fuck with things and ‘separate but equal’ & sundown towns were still legal. While 1855 gets us back to the ownership of women & minorities, the GOP has really been focused…

GOOD. Anyone who likes the Scion xB, Honda Element, or any of those other little boxy things should be a fan of the little boxy Renegade. I could fit 3 car seats in a mine, full stroller & kid supplies in the back, and park it in any downtown spot. Having Jeep’s reliability is a bit of a killer, but if they keep it as…

I’m going to go with the current gen Dodge Charger being just as big in 30 years as the 1960/70s muscles cars have been for the last 20 (sorry 1969ChargerFan if I got here first). Mustangs & Camaros may have a following, but Camaro is already almost forgotten so I expect it will stay that way and Ford already started…

I’m really curious what the people who dislike the ending thought would happen. Anything else happening would have been a complete departure from all the events that led up to climax. Based on the complaints, I kept waiting for a twist that ruins the movie and it never came. Are they all set on characters never changin…
