Yeah, I’d go with Bradley here. I live in sf with a project car (and no trust fund) and I have off street parking which could easily have charging access. I did prioritize this in my apartment search because it was important to me but it is absolutely a myth that off-street parking doesn’t exist in cities…

Besides the ridiculous cost, don’t get Clear on principle. This is a needless attempt to privatize a public service that simply diverts resources (scanners and space) from others. It’s stupid, it’s wrong, and appearantly it costs way too much too.

I always knew I didn’t want to go into sales but working for a company with a sales division really made me appreciate the people willing to (I doubt, sadly, that most of them wanted to or enjoyed) bite that bullet for me so I could work on the professional services side.

No, they aren't. But tire rack does a pretty fair price. None of this $300/tire that's "the only thing we have in that size" 

Workplaceburner below is probably more correct when s(he) says that I’m more afraid of gas just not being easily and reliably available rather than outright banned. There is no question it will be largely supplanted (although ofcourse 10,20,30, or 40 years is uncertain) or that it should be thus since electric is far…

Here’s my baby. Been in the family for 24 years, damn sure hope to make it to 47. This dudes got it right. I drive it, I fiddle with it, it’s set up how I like, it’s not a super car, it’s not a race car, it’s not a drift car, it’s not stock but it’s nice and it’s comfy.

The writing and editing in this article made me feel excessively old.

IMO, cruise control levers are worse than cruise control mounted away from the steering column. It’s a finicky thing that is impossible to do intuitively by feel.

Nah, I know there will be some of that but the reason the noise is so visceral is that it's coming from a machine you control. Simulating it just wouldn't be the same. But I suppose you could sell a turbonator and make money off of people's ignorance. #america #sigh

And yet, yes. My project cars never been and never will be the fastest. But boy does the noise make me smile! 

God damn do I know exactly what you're saying. With the whole climate change and de-carbonization needed, I'm seriously questioning my engine swap plans for my project car. What's the point if I only get 10 years out of it until serious increases in price of gas or decreases in availability of gas or both? 

It is absolutely a thing one can do to lump by gender. But that is not dictated by the data. That was a frame imposed on the data. Which one can do. But others can point out (as Alanis did) that this is a choice made by the analyst not the data and then explain why they think a different choice should be made.

The point is that it is an exogenous projection onto the data to say that there is a master variable, male/female, which is how we will build our profiles. That sort of choice is what rankles not the observation of correlations.

This just reminds me that the Nimitz is getting replaced with the Gerry Ford class and it just makes me wonder wtf were they thinking naming a carrier class after Ford. I’m not old enough to have lived Gerry Ford but I’ve seen that 70s show and feel that the line “nobody voted for Ford” pretty much sums him up.

What about unionizing to allow for long term planning with the cooperation between workers, management, and investors? Are unions only to be for preventing exploitation or can they be about improving all parties and the shared business enterprise?

I gotta say, as a more than healthy manual diehard I really see no point to getting a manual in any truck by choice especially a new truck where the manual is weaker and inferior to the auto for the whole point of a truck with a tow rating. 

Not that I own one, it my family has owned many and honestly the high-concept definition of the Mazda is “a fast but reliable camry that isn’t so boring” so I think it should be on the list.

Thanks, Stef, for the take we need; especially the abelist line, which I think ironically gets lost far too often in all of these “mobility” “solutions” which help able bodied people get places by inconveniencing others rather than helping people with mobility limitations expand their horizons.

I’d argue we should split the difference and have clear outside lenses with amber bulbs. I’ll shamelessly admit this style got taken too far in the altezza era when I was forming my carpinoins but I still think the “red and silver when off, amber when on” look is both pleasing and functional.

Perhaps I missed it, but the only argument I’ve heard which you didn’t refute was the driving dynamics one.
