Aren’t hipsters, as a large demographic, gone? Do the youth of today even use that term? Most former hipsters I know own the biggest Subaru they could buy. The ones that try to hold the flame don’t own cars and still build their own bicycles out of rubbish they found in a dumpster while looking for parts for vintage…

Because this occurred after a bump it is safe to assume something was knocked loose. The problem is, it could have easily been something within a component. The confusing thing about this post, one that really needs clarification, is “no attempt to boot.” Because boot and post are often used interchangeably, the…

While OP’s opinion is dated, the best dual tower heat-pipe designs (i.e. more than just a heat-sink) run BOTH cooler and quieter than an AIO of equivalent price. Both designs use fans that blow air off of a radiator, both use liquid, only one utilizes two phase cooling (not the AIO), and only one has a mechanical pump…

I’m over here like Iverson saying “breakfast potluck” over and over again.

Q means car [qar], QX means crossover [qrossover], the bigger the number the more car you get.

Midsommar, yes. 

Couldn’t have said it better. 

I haven’t seen a movie since Fury Road with an action sequence or style that it did not influence. Hell I don’t think we’d Dunkirk done the way it was without Fury Road. Nolan, who never met an exposition he didn’t like, for once dropped it - and that’s not the only similarity between the two. Shit even Moana - which…

I’ll agree with this. I’m an old millennial, but it’s funny that this is considered old story telling. I would offer that modern cinema has veered right back into ancient story telling, where every piece of the plot has to be explained via dialogue and belabored to death.

Seeing it from the what is essentially Max and Nux’s vantage definitely was the right call, it kept the CGI grounded in a human perspective. 

I felt so seen during the rifle switching scene, and I praise the efficiency with which the relationship is portrayed. 

Just because something is argued does not mean it is proven. The Toulmin model of argument, as I would hope you know, is a road-map for presenting an idea. It is not mutually exclusive of the Scientific Method, which by the way is not a “logic system” but rather a loose set of principles for isolating and replicating…

I moved from place that got regular heavy lake effect snow to a place that gets regular light snow (1-4in) with a couple of larger snow falls per year. The amount of SUV/CUV’s spinning out would be hilarious if people weren’t endangering themselves. Yet almost everyone in town (city I guess there’s a couple hundred…

I made a comment somewhere that I only needed a compact vehicle for two kids.

There’s a little old lady on my commute who drives an early 90's Celica Turbo All-Trac. I see her every other day - the car is in fantastic shape. 

Yeah. Growing up (in a family of four) we did multiple 1k mileroad trips, and many more sub 1k mile trips, in an 80's corolla. When we were young, my sister and I both sat in boosters after our car seats (both of which were laughably unsafe by today’s standards). Road trips aside, the majority of the time the car was…

Et tu Jalopnik? We’re calling this a wagon? I drove one last week, I’d disagree.

And the reports the death of the head gasket issue are greatly exaggerated (it’s still an issue). 

I know this conversation progressed way beyond your initial points, but I was wondering how your feelings about not participating the credit card market or scam also apply to not buying or owning a home? I have gone down a rabbit hole considering whether abstaining from the home purchasing market is, in effect,…

This was not my experience when I was younger. Perhaps policies have changed. Either way, a debit card won’t get me 5% cash back on all gas purchases and apparently I have the same security.
