I don’t disagree, but I’d wager that a certain amount of “hand holding” may be necessary to get more EVs into the mainstream. Giving them flat fronts and “grills” or grill-deletes might help smooth the transition away from ICEs. Now what is mind bogglingly to me is that (according to the review) Chevy reduced the size…

I just don’t know about that. Do you have to do much parallel parking or driving in alleys? I live in Chicago, and we just got 20 inches of snow in February. The streets get plowed and salted, but it’s virtually impossible to plow street parking spaces, and the alleys just act like a funnel with no where to put the…

Love peeps. My favorite way to eat a peep:

In my experience they've all been pretty great (and by experience, that's only three different costco's).  Yes there's usually a small line for pumps, but you can mitigate that by going at off peak times (particularly when the store itself is closed), and the gas is typically 20 to 30 cents cheaper than surrounding…

I own a (2012) Wrangler Unlimited, and I never have, nor will I ever likely take it off-roading. Judge me all you want, but we’re a one car family, and I can’t risk it (although I’m thinking about following Brownell’s lead, and picking up a used Leaf).

Looks way too cramped for a 4 door sedan. Needs a bench and a column shifter. 

It’s a little Lebowski-esque.  Strike that, reverse it.

It’s an interesting issue. I see lots of people out here professing a willingness to pay a premium for this possibility; but on a macro level I can’t see this stuff taking off if it’s substantially more expensive than regular gas/electricity. I think people would sooner convert to electricity or lobby for the old…

Yep. Accordingly to to wiki, Yale, USC, and IU got sued as part of the same lawsuit. Where or where would poor Yale ever find a lawyer in their price range to defend them?

As is often the case, the answer is: it depends. There’s a lot of artists that ended up with shitty major label record deals, and they didn’t always make a lot of money.

It’s a lot more nuanced than that though. Metallica has regularly permitted bootlegging and trading of their concert performances, both pre- and post napster. Their whole point with the Napster suit was that they lost control of the distribution of their music. IIRC, the catalyst for the suit was the leaking of an…

I’m pretty sure none of that happened.  Metallica settled with Napster.  They didn't file individual lawsuits against any of their fans.  And they don't have the power to arrest people. 

I’m not a huge Metallica fan. Their first four albums are unfuckwithable; black album is overplayed but often wrongly maligned; everything else is a slowly declining mixed bag.

“I truly can’t fathom how deeply invested people are in this piece of shit.”

I think the dream would be 300-400 miles with rechargeable batteries that could be swapped out like a spent propane tank at the Home Depot. We could revive the gas station attendant career (pin stripes and bow ties required). Pull up; they pull out the pneumatic ratchets and do their best pit stop impression; and send…

Wife and I haven’t done dinner out on v-day in years. Too many subpar meals as a result of the rush.

You’re not wrong at all... But you’d think with his history of success there’d be a line of producers with bags of cash and leaps off faith. And also, it’s not like anything he makes costs tons to produce. No big special effects, mostly lower tier or unknown actors (I can’t speak for the animation... B&B was always…

Is the pineapple the slut?

It’s not like he has a proven track record. beavis and butthead, king of the hill, office space, idiocracy, silicon valley. Apart from Extract (whose biggest crime is that it’s just mediocre), pretty much everything he’s produced is somewhere between near- legendary and actually legendary.

Except Willy Wonka.  Watched that this week with my kids, and Gene Wilder is the ONLY ww.
