a 22 year old is 100% a kid. Our brains don’t fully develop until around 25, and in terms of life experience a 22 year old has essentially zero. Especially a 22 year old white dude who has never known anything except being a student.

Honestly, I don’t think he’s a criminal or a grifter, he just got in so far over his head because we have a culture that massively overvalues the opinions and abilities of white male adolescents and “disruption.” Those people and ideas accidentally worked a few times in the tech space, and these dudes already benefit…

Not sure on your truck, but many vehicles with the “3 blinks’ feature can be set to other numbers as well, might want to check the owners manual 

I mean you can’t drive it anywhere but CA due to the aforementioned infrastructure issues, so I think including the state credit is fair.  

If you pay $30 on gas you won’t pay $30 for electric. It’ll likely be closer to $10/month for electric. Electricity is much cheaper than gas per mile.

Almost certain she meant “first 911 Turbo in 1975" since that would be accurate. But yeah, super glaring error as written.

I don’t follow. I just stated a fact, chopping off part of a baby’s penis IS genital mutilation. 

But like religion aside, is anyone arguing that circumcision isn’t mutilation? Maybe it’s mutilation that we’ve got to be tacitly ok with in some cases, but it’s genital mutilation of infants, it’s cruel and harmful and absurd. I’m circumcised  and all I see when I look at my penis is a horribly disfigured appendage…

Always have been. In 1776 Americans/colonists had the highest gdp per capita in the world, and the lowest tax burden yet literally went to war over the idea of paying for their own defense. Not saying the British rule of the colonies was handled well, but this country was started by selfish rich assholes who wanted to…

We’ve had a 2001 LS430 in the family since new (fall of 2000), with the navigation system. This article made me think about it. Somehow 20 years ago high end Japanese cars came with technology that just refuses to age badly. Other than the lack of bluetooth (which didn’t exist in 2000) and that we never bought the…

Hummer H1. I was so sure it was the most perfect and practical first car. I even wanted to build an electric or at least hybrid one for myself because that much pollution was bad, but the overall car was somehow good? It made no sense! 

The Tru 140s definitely is the Cadillac ELR, so I’d say that one got made. Not a sports car at all, but I like mine well enough!

Because all the other camo-ed vehciles in the lot were clearly from GM. Much more likely its a GM test fleet than two brands had camo vehicles in the same spot in WV at the same time

Yeah, that didn’t happen. Polls were extremely accurate in 2016. But ~60k total people in three states decided the entire election. A fluke, which was accounted for in the small chance every projection gave Trump. Far more than that many people were affected by the absurd FBI fuckery or the unchecked Russian…

The literal only reason I don’t own one is the lack of adaptive cruise. There’s no excuse for that. I’m happy enough with my ELR for now that I want another GM ev, I trust them a hell of a lot more than Tesla. But I won’t buy a commuter car without adaptive cruise. I just won’t. 

Shut up shut up shut up. This is the stupidest line of argument I’ve heard in my life and I’m so tired of it. No one is making anyone buy Apple products. No one is making anyone develop software for Apple hardware. Apple is not changing policies after the fact to screw people over. Developers and consumers are…

I mean it sounds like he was never close to accepted, it was his dream school and applied, but nowhere does it say he ever was accepted/got an appointment.

I know someone working for Melton-Meaux, it’s so weird. Not in the least because he grew up in Edina, rich by even Edina standards, and used to agree with very conservative viewpoints (not trump or anything, but nasty anti-tax, anti-benefit, anti-immigrant stuff sometimes, though he’s grow out of much of it), so why…

But so much more power! I have an ‘88 300CE, and while I love it for so many things, it wouldn’t be terrible to add almost 25% more power to the equation

I run pizzerias, and shredded mozzarella has gone from lower than normal prices to unheard of highs in the last month or so (the price has doubled!). We finally sold more than our normal break-even numbers in June, but still lost significant money because food prices are crazy! This thing is brutal and is far from…
