The ingredients in Soylent are essentially just vitamins and minerals. It’s a long list, and yes it’s “processed” since that’s the nature of a meal replacement, but nothing in there is inherently bad for you.

That’ll depend on your body’s tolerance to soy (or some of the types of dietary fiber in it too). For many, including myself, Soylent does nothing other than fill you up. I’ve yet to have urges to use the bathroom any more than usual after drinking Soylent.

And I’m not arguing that taking booth girls out is going to “chase the monster” out of perverted guys everywhere.

To me, it’s always been about taste. Having booth babes at these sorts of events where the main focus is to explain and demonstrate the product... it just comes across to me as tasteless.

True act of sportsmanship, right there.

Just like the others have said, I’m not aware of any remote-ignition system that lets you just drive away with the car without the key fob inside. Not even my Honda Civic lets me do that, and a Civic isn’t exactly a high-tech vehicle.

Gotta double-down on that first bit. Definitely plenty of folks out there who M-versions of BMW cars just because they can/want, not really because they plan to do anything with the performance.

As does city bus drivers. You don’t need a portable radio; you need a dedicated radio that’s directly connected to the car’s systems... just like on other gov’t/public vehicles.

Lots of middle to upper middle class folks *could* technically afford this, much like how lots of folks are able to afford typical luxury brands like BMW and Lexus.

Honda has never been that good at suppressing NVH levels in their cars. But, judging from the latest-gen Civic and Accord, it seems that they’ve finally starting to care about designing a quieter cabin.

That’s the same complaint I have about my 9th-gen Civic and Accord. They’re loud at highway speeds. They’re also loud at neighborhood speeds, but obviously not annoying that those levels.

All relative. I’ve not driven an 8th-gen Civic, but I have driven a 9th-gen and the newest 10th-gen, both of which are among the best (up there with Mazda) in their class. It won’t blow your socks off if you’re coming from a luxury (or non-luxury sports) sedan, but it’s above average for the class.

Oh, god. Yeah. Something about it just doesn’t work. The 9th-gen Civic fared much better in applying that whole spaceship-future-y design. I actually liked the two-tier dashboard layout in the way that 9th-gen applied it: the speedometer was always in my peripheral vision!

I think the new Honda Accord’s infotainment is so well done, and addressed most of the issues with previous generations of cars trying to “digitize” everything (i.e., no physical controls for anything).

Seriously. Not even that big of a fan of their cars. But if I *had* to pick a car tomorrow to drive endlessly across the country w/o issue, it’d be a Toyota SUV of some sort.

The reason given by Toyota (and, IIRC, BMW/Mercedes/etc.) is something along the lines of Apple/Google being unwilling to cooperate in revealing the workings and back-end security protocols of CarPlay & Android Auto, some of which is related to what and how much data the feature collects and sends back to Apple/Google…

Probably. The front Predator-esque grille at least works for some of the Lexus vehicles. I’m... not so sure it works for those on the Toyota brand. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but the grilles on the Toyota vehicles look tacky in a way that the Lexus one does not.

Hey, now. Sometimes - though, rarely - shooting in portrait mode is optimal. Like, recording a golf swing or something.

Not surprised. I’ve seen folks try and cut corners where their own lives (and others) may be put at risk.

I am also guilty for liking Papa John’s pizza. I dislike unnecessarily greasy foods, and Papa John’s just makes damn good pizza that isn’t over-the-top greasy and with relatively healthy ingredients. They even offer a gluten-free crust made from ancient grain flour now! (not that gluten-free means much for health, but…
