They won’t export as much as they otherwise would. Chinese refineries aren’t all set up to process Russian crude and new transport routes would be needed. Other sanctions will inhibit their ability to get materials and supplies to drill. Net impact will be a lot less oil in the global market.

Sure, but we can lash out about his wishy washy response. 

Simple doesn’t mean easy. Nothing could be more “simple” than an atom- perfect sphere, but a truly perfect one would be impossible to produce.

It seems to me that you are benefitting from hindsight here. Vertical landing rockets were way too risky for all of the established players (many of whom can’t even get the standard type done remotely on schedule).

It was always a long shot, but I don’t get the hate. You don’t get innovation without a few failures.

Keep in mind that Alfa’s models are towards the end of their life cycles. It’s rare for a 6+ year old model that has seen minimal changes to sell without discounts. 

Really? I see them all over the place, but I do live less than 5 miles from a pretty large dealership.

Could that just be because they are used as trainers?

Oh, I will go all the way to China on this one. 

Seems like he could have benefitted from a full face helmet with a visor, or at least some goggles.

Back in the 1950s to the 1970s becoming a flight attendant was a way for young women (they were all women) who would ordinarily have zero chance to travel to see the world to do so. It was a job you could do with no formal education or family wealth. All you needed was the right look and demeanor.

No, this was the zenith of Cadillac:

Ok fine. Still looks like vinyl. Anyhow, it’s just not an aesthetic I understand the appeal of. Certainly not for 40 large.

Can’t get past the fake wood and acres of vinyl. 

I’m baffled this thing gets so many NPs. I’m feeling malaise just looking at it. 

If they wanted it to be the luxury trim, they should have given it cushy ventilated leather seats out of the top trim Outback/Ascent. Recaros don’t seem like the right choice for that.

Spoiler alert: the new STI is going to be adjusted way up too when it comes out. It’s news to nobody that a fully loaded lower-spec model can end up costing more than a model the next tier up.

No, it’s an accurate description of what happened. 

There was no excitement if you actually understood anything about racing. The final lap’s outcome was as forgone a conclusion as if it had ended under yellow.

Yeah, the fact that he has failed means it’s probably not something simple like needing a new coil. Maybe you are lucky and it’s just a sensor the owner overlooked. But you may also be looking at a motor rebuild.
