I’m not going to go into the whole thing, because that’s just annoying to everyone, but I do start with one like this:

This is massive. I do IBA rides, and people always assume I’m doing some stupid speeds, but the truth is much more mundane. I pre-scout gas stations, and a back-up, at my expected stops using Google maps. I look for easy in and out. I do everything in a prescribed manner. My keys always go to the same spot, same with…

I’ve been sort of following this, but not really, so sorry for being the slow kid in the room.

I’m pretty sure Schilling hates reflexively hates anything with “Executive” in its name.

For the short to medium term, and maybe longer, this is really only the right answer. With the large affected areas being behind security, your options are limited. This choice probably has the best cost avoidance by far.

It is amusing that someone who probably has used the word “bootlicker” more than once is happy to see an individual fucked over by a corporation. The gymnastics are impressive.

More than once I’ve been in a situation where multiple people chipped in on something like this and one person was the point person making the purchase for one reason or another.

I should have dropped “is” into that first sentence in a few more stupid places.

A principle I’ve tried in recent years is to expand on for myself is the concept of “if you don’t believe in X for those you disagree with, then you don’t believe in X.” One of the unfortunate sides of this is realizing what horrible flaming hypocrites many people are.

I’m glad I don’t have a bit more money, the Lagonda would be the siren that I have avoided so far instead of the W12 Phaeton.

While I understand the concern, I take a variety of cautions. I’m not above pulling over and taking a nap if needed. Or even just stopping for the night if that’s what my body tells me to do. I avoid driving into the night, so I get up a little early so that if I can often finish in daylight hours. One of the regular…

Nice.

I would prefer longer range, but your take is a better framing of the argument.

I’m with you. I very regularly drive 800 to 1000 miles a day for family and business obligations. Average about once a month. It doesn’t even have to be range, I’m cool with battery swap or faster charging , or whatever. I understand that many like to stop more often. That’s fine, I don’t. I look forward to a BEV and…

Isn’t that Elon’s kid?

Nope. Absolutely normal reaction on a car site. At least I hope so.

I think you mean Ioniq. No, maybe not. Shit, I don’t know.

Or that standard terminology is so ingrained that it catches your eye every time you see something that doesn’t follow it. As someone from the ground pounder side of the USMC, if someone mentioned “guns” it was artillery. That rifle/gun distinction was around in some circles long before that movie.

I typically fly with just a backpack, and I was concerned so I bought another one that absolutely, positively doesn’t go to the range, hunting, or even get stored in the reloading room with the fun stuff.
