I mean, fair.

This so much.  My son’s mother-in-law bought my son a car seat for his new baby...at a garage sale.  My son pretended to be grateful and then threw it out.

Not drinking water on a long-haul flight isn’t a nothing burger; it’s stupid.

Depending on all sorts of factors, a DVT can absolutely, positively kill you. At least, that’s what the vascular specialist explained to me as he prepared to deal with the DVT my ex had gotten in her legs after not moving around at all on a flight.

For whatever reason, Jalopnik preached that Toyota was slow and stupid with their EV strategy, and they were going to get buried. Naturally this would get debated in the comments, with many on the side of “no they aren’t.”

You should read up on what anecdotal evidence is.

It’s awfully obvious to even the most casual observer that he never was an environmentalist, so I can only assume the tack taken by this article was to generate all of the comments saying he never was.

Don’t kink shame, bro.

And if you do get into an accident, you need to replace the car seat, even if it looks fine.

Exactly. Getting a squirmy toddler in and out of the car seat is often no fun at all, but once they’re in, they’re in.

This right here.  Those things have like 5 point harnesses.  Either they just weren’t using car seats, or they weren’t buckling the kids in.

The general public absolutely does not give a shit about CVT transmissions; that’s a fantasy that exists only in enthusiast’s minds.

Never take that for granted.  Because someday you might have to take medication that interferes with that, and that is absolutely no fun at all.

Both things can be true.

You don’t start an EV company as a big ol’ Republican, you just don’t.

Wow, more corrupt than the 5th Circuit?  That’s...wow.

Wow, that is an absolute dumpster fire of a headline.

Was gonna post on this as well. Like the dipshit that said this, my father was an equities analyst, but in no universe would he have accepted social media reviews as actual data.

I had a rental Mercury Topaz (so a Ford Tempo) for three weeks back in the 90's.

Voluntary layoffs always seemed stupid to me. You’re literally asking your best (or at least most employable) people to take the package and jump; the folks left are the ones that would struggle more to get a new job.*
