I haven’t owned a console since ps3/360 days, but on PC even if I’m dying to try a game I’ve never spent even half of the launch price on them. Why should I spend 50, 60, or $70 on a game when it will be $15-30 in a couple months? Especially since multiplayer has never appealed to me. I might spend the bigger money on…

General Motors should just take over the General Electric name, since that company barely exists anymore. Or maybe merge into General Electric Motors because “GEM” isn’t the name of a lame little street legal golf cart thing and isn’t owned by Polaris (or maybe Polaris will join in on the merger, why not?).  

That’s fair. For sure sometimes they are more ad hominem. But some of that feeling seems to be a very loud and very insecure segment of truck defenders who can’t hear anything that might ask anyone to critically examine the impact of our appetite for trucks without resorting to extreme reactions.

But, a v10 sports car affects the manufacterer’s CAFE satandards as a Car, even though it is less likely to be used as an everyday car than a truck. It is subject to the Gas Guzzler tax. It can’t be fully written off as a business expense. The issue isn’t that trucks exist, it’s that they are treated specially despite…

Because racecar

The issue here is that 40+ years ago everything you said about the capability of a truck was true of a full size sedan or wagon. Yes, I’m saying the 2021 F150 is the descendant of the 1980 Country Squire more than the 1970 F150. And if a crew cab short bed “truck” is “a do it all vehicle” then it should be taxed and…

So much this. We have incentivized harmful things for far too long. Beef in McDonald’s burgers should cost a lot more, and the subsides that drive its prices down (corn subsidies, benefits paid out to underpaid, underemployed workers, etc) should be eliminated or shifted towards healthier foods. No need to even a…

The ‘pudendal cleft’ or ‘cleft of venus’ are the names you’re looking for.

I disagree. In my experience as long as you pick a dealer who doesn’t suck (not hard in the era of online reviews and such), you can get a non Tesla EV serviced with no hassle at all. I’ve had my ELR in at a Cadillac dealer who has likely never sold a single new EV twice. Once for a recall service and another time for…

Renting cars a few times a year is cheaper than paying for gas the other 350+ days just so you can go on a couple trips.

This exactly. We have a Fiat 500e and a Cadillac ELR. On normal days we can stay 100% electric, but we have the gas motor of the ELR for any extra long drives. (and we can rent or borrow gas cars for the true road trips, no sense using the ELR as a gas car when it gets worse mileage on more expensive fuel than my…

Supercruise is the same as what other GM cars have. But only the launch edition EUV offers it, on the premier you only get adaptive cruise. And the Bolt itself still has no adaptive cruise. I like my ELR and would happily buy another GM electric vehicle, but this lack of basic features is killing me, and I’m sick of…

How is 250+ miles no better than 80, but 300 would be in a totally different ballpark? What do you gain in that extra 40/50 miles that changes everything?

Adding super cruise gives them a chance. The only reason I haven’t bought a bolt before is lack of even basic adaptive cruise. You know, the feature that’s standard on cars that cost over 10k less and existed on luxury cars over 2 years ago. It was truly impossible to consider the Bolt, supposedly a futuristic tech…

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.
