I get it. I got the Aeron when it cost about$800. The thing is, if you buy a quality office chair, like Herman Miller or Steelcase, it will last forever. 15 years later, my Aeron is as comfortable as the day I got it and still structurally intact (but for the one flaw). It is probably good for another 15. The…

I have had an Aeron for (at least) 15 years. It has lasted but for one significant flaw. The arms are fixed to the back with a cam clamp and the piece of steel *inside* the chain that the clamp pulls against eventually cracks and breaks and your arm are forever-after floppy. I fixed this once under warranty, having to…

You have a problem. Is Covid sequestering getting to you?

The consequence of loan defaults is upward pressure on interest rates. Upward pressure on interest rates is the same as saying money is more expensive or more valuable. Money being more valuable is also known as deflation, the opposite of inflation. Deflation over time means that in real currency and over time,…

Kyle. It’s pronounced, Kyle. Chi-Ai-‘L’ (12th letter of the alphabet). That’s what I’m going with until I hear differently.

Let people choose where to live based on cost and benefit. If it is too $$$ to live in San Fran then move to Bakersfield. With $2k per month people will be able to afford to move.

My commute is about 15 tiles each way. This morning it took me an extra half hour to get to work because a dog flipped over and things were really backed up. Half hour of extra belly rubs, that is.

There must be something wrong with me but I don’t think the notch looks all that bad. The fastback looks cheap to me, though. That’s all tempered by an awareness of what a truly horrid car it is underneath, though. I wonder if a restomod could make one into a good car.

You... seem to not really care much about cars. Which is weird because you are writing about cars.

“The old black ring was replaced, letting the new logo radiate more openness and clarity.” How hard did they have to masturbate to come up with that one?

Are there FIA rules that state that steering must move the steered wheels through equal angles? Because toe already changes as the wheel is turned. Is there a rule that states that the wheels can’t be steered independently? Given that this is all under the control of the wheel, it seems capricious to make it illegal.

As a matter of fact, I agree that the Mustang feels heavy and ponderous. It objectively isn’t but it feels that way. So odd. In counterpoint, the Camaro feels pretty nimble. Nearly identical cars but so different in feel.

I did not forget. You seem ignorant of Canadian history.

Does everyone not realize that different people have different torso/leg length ratios without regard to height? I’m 6'1" and chances are 50/50 if someone reclines without warning I’m dislocating a kneecap.

Uniforms don’t make them military, the breadth and depth of responsibility is. It’s as if the FBI had jurisdiction absolutely everywhere in the U.S. for absolutely everything from traffic tickets to protecting the border. Their history of abuse of indigenous people is arguably worse at any moment in history than the…

The RCMP are and ever have been “militarized police” with all the corruption and abuse that entails.

The Mustang is less than 150kgs heavier than the 911. Are you sure this isn’t perception versus an objective measurement?

Now, turn.

A stranger ringing a doorbell at 2am because they are lost IS suspicious and remains so until their intent is established. How is this controversial?

Is that Doc Brown?
