I’m with you on this - I think plug-in hybrids with ~35-40 miles of electric-only range are perfect. That’s right in the average daily driving range of someone in the US (about 29 miles, according to AAA). That will get rid of “range anxiety” and shut up those people that have 400 mile daily commutes in ice cold…

I...wouldn’t be so sure about that!

Come on, Jalopnik writers. I expect you understand why we can’t “just ban fossil-fueled cars at the moment” and this is just a troll. The problems with this statement, in no particular order...

Best wishes to Lewis and those around him - hope the rest of his paddock and crew haven’t gotten it.

They should price it like Porsche’s Color program.

Oh for sure - just got one of my friends to buy a CX-5 instead of a RAV-4, think they made the right decision. She’s now in love with the car.

Just make sure not to accidentally remove valuable accent trim pieces.

I’m sorry you have to travel, and I’m not sure exactly what you do, but even in my industry (film production at remote locations) we’ve figured out how to make it work without me getting on a plane to play producer/director on shoots. When push came to shove and they questioned why we should continue to keep my team…

I am sorry and you’re right - this rant is specifically directed at those that are choosing to fly and don’t have to. I used to be on a plane twice a week, almost every week. Loved it. Flight attendants knew me. I was friends with the bartenders in the lounges in multiple airports. I MISS flying, so much, and I miss…

Yeah, we get it, everyone hates slideshows. Insert comment lambasting the current state of internet writing. Okay, now that we’ve got that out of the way...

Are you in a plane seat and the emergency pamphlet indicates it’s a 737 MAX? Why? Where do you have to go that you’re on a plane in the middle of a pandemic? Get off the plane. Go home. Don’t go anywhere. Stop flying places. SERIOUSLY STAY HOME WHAT ABOUT THIS IS SO DIFFICULT.

+5hp, also adds lightness.

Sure, it could, but I have the freedom to decide where I hire my team, so I think for now, at least, a lot of the higher touch jobs and managerial roles stay here. Lower paying or lower priority roles will probably move overseas, as they have been for years. I’ve been using web devs from Eastern Europe for nearly a…

We already do use some devs and designers from places like Romania or Turkey, so it’s already happening - and has been happening for years, it’s nothing new.

Studies have shown the opposite - productivity has actually gone up (here’s a study from HBR) - I know that I’m certainly more productive - not in a working-8-hours-a-day kind of way, which is a relic of the manufacturing era, but in a getting-projects-done kind of way. If you work in the knowledge industry (like so…

I’m not sure how we’re handling it! It seems to me that currently we’re still hiring at normal “market” rate for DC, incentivizing people that don’t live in the area. We would consider moving out of the immediate area, but just moved into a rowhouse in the city that we love, so it just doesn’t make sense for us. The…

“At the moment, a lot of the slack is getting taken up by remote working, but I don’t think that will last forever.”

I guess I never realized that! It was subtle - the lines are great on it, and those taillights are the perfect amount of “weird”. I drive an 09 A3 wagon now, so I guess the desire for simple lines has stuck with me.

The 90s Lexus GS. I have no idea why I liked it, but I did appreciate the “sporty coupe” vibes it had, along with futuristic (to me at the time) taillights. I would agonize over how I would build it out when I was an adult, what features to add, what colors and wheels. I thought customizing the perfect GS would…

Wait, you’re trying to tell me that it’s surprising that one of the most corrupt, self-dealing industies, that’s permanently stuck in the 1970s, getting high off its own supply with stock buy-backs can’t make up its mind about what is best for itself? Well, slap my ass and call me Sally.
