Guys/girls aren’t analogous for sure, I’m just suggesting that seems to have become the default at the detriment to women (what a shock!). Just that actual analogous word of ‘gals’ was replaced by something with an already defined meaning. Wonder if any linguists out there have studied this. I think you can get away…

I have a (admittedly stupid) theory about the word ‘girl’ being so common. First, I will say that it does exactly as you suggest in the article, making them seem less mature and equal when the same people will use the term ‘man’. But there are analogues for the sexes; boy/girl, man/woman, and then guys/gals. But ‘gal’…

The evaluation is with others that are respecting the silence on trying to be more productive on proving who they are and respecting the protocol we [have] put in place.

I love Tesla’s Full Self-Driving* software!

I’m with ya Steve, I’ve loved the body mod stuff for many years as well. Unfortunately it’s still 1000x better in the imagination than the real world, the main driver for me not adopting it in any real fashion. The Tesla angle I don’t care for, but it sounds cool to me. Maybe I’ve read too much sci-fi but I’m still…

Of all the super-mega-hypercar brands out there, Bugatti is the least interesting despite going for so many records. A big part of it is the looks, which have been terrible since the Veyron, but the cars are just so... whatever, somehow. I thought maybe this looked too similar to the Veyron so I had to look it up and…

hell, he might not even be the best driver on his current midfield outfit

Does McLaren/Porsche/Ferrari ever give more details on how they support such limited run cars? Like how many spare parts are produced? How many times can someone bin it at a track before they can’t be fixed anymore?

Who pre-orders a brand-new Dodge? Let alone based on an Alfa! How much time you feel like spending at your local Stellantis dealer?

Spec engine supplied by Mecachrome. Sorry for pasting a link, I know Kinja has decided linking away from their sites is evil.

I saw American Graffiti when I was in my 20s and it was alright. I don’t get nostalgic for a period in time I never experienced so to me it was just a period piece in a sense. For sure many of the themes about end of childhood and whatnot are pretty universal, but I don’t have any strong emotions or memories of the…

Yeah it don’t look bad really, but not worth a special name and announcement (other than for the supply-related issues you mentioned). I’ve been playing The Crew 2 and it’s the type of custom livery people throw together all the time, some basic angular shapes roughly following body lines. Needs more color though.

Reddit is good for the memes, at least:

Blockchain and NFTs aren’t the same thing. While NFTs are ‘minted’ on a blockchain, a blockchain itself is basically just a decentralized ledger and the tech has nothing to do with NFTs.

1,542 buyers sprung for the Carbon Flash stripe option on the outside… to really make their Vette stand out.

Great read, not something I feel like I’d see many other places. Thank you. (also doing the engagement thing put-some-turbo-on-meeee mentioned).

This kind of mashup is happening all over pop culture. Fortnite has more crossover/collaborations than even the wildest fan projects used to have. I thought it was kind of cool seeing these things at first, but I’m starting to get fatigued. Sounds like a ‘me’ problem, I’m aware. But this sentence:

As a newbie, though, I think a little dilution from some genuine ice cubes is my friend, not my enemy.

Isn’t that Honda’s F1 modus operandi? They leave, come back and suck, finally get good, and leave. Rinse and repeat.
