Before our tag expired, my father-in-law “pre-ordered” my wife a new-release collegiate plate. When they became available she went to get her new plate... but my name is first on the registration, so I drove down there. Then they said they couldn’t apply my father-in-law’s purchased credit to the plate because it was…

Every. Single. One.

I don’t think it’s shocking. It’s a low compression V10. The drivetrain is pretty much bullet proof. The only thing I am surprised is that the interior hasn’t turned to dust.

CT = Yes, judged

Rolling Coal. This is just ignorant. Nobody wants to breathe in a cloud of diesel smoke.

“Carolina Squat” is stupid, the whole “stanced” look is dumb (and not exactly safe either, right?), but I reserve my highest level of disdain for any vehicle with an excessively-loud exhaust and their drivers who insist on forcing everyone to hear their crappy vehicle and pay attention to them.

Nothing, because I feel no shame in not paying for features I don’t need.

But all the guys at the office with trucks won’t like me as much!

The bed to cab ratio on these trucks is getting a little insane. You might as well just buy an SUV and rent a uhaul trailer for the 1 time a year most of these guys will need to haul something. So dumb!

How is this not called... Smilo-ren?

I like the Magic Mouse but that way of charging it is deeply flawed.

Remember that scene where a radio DJ announces he’s gonna play Britney Spears’ new song “Toxic” and that it’s “destined to be a classic” (or something like that) then literally a few seconds later a character starts dancing to it and shouts “C’mon, you know the words!” So which is it, did it just come out or does…

I was violently opposed when my wife suggested we go minivan to make life easy with our two kids. The deal went through (because she gets to pick her vehicle)... And I quickly saw the light. I am now a minivan evangelist for people with kids. Come forth, behold and worship at the altar of the minivan and the  slidey…

Someone just needs to figure out how to get minivan doors on an SUV so we can get all this nonsense over with. Fine, give me a lifted minivan. But after having a Pacifica rental car for a week last summer I will never change my tune that the best feature of a minivan is that giant sliding door. Putting my kid in her…

Having taken my son to a number of Monster Truck shows now, there is an ENORMOUS range in forum, skill, and overall quality. The highest quality shows are super well done and are choreographed to near perfection. The lowest quality are enjoyable in a very different way.

This slideshow could have been a fist fight single page post, Matt

IF is an original, big-budget Hollywood release

Might be time to start heading for the hills. The two of them interacting felt a lot like the old MS experiment where two bots started to speak their own language. I wonder if there are any tones/sounds being sent at frequencies we can’t easily hear? It might explain some of the pauses in interaction.

GPT-4o’s speech has an emotional intonation, showing excitement at some times and laughing at others.

This finished filming a year ago so hopefully it comes out soon. At least it’s not Ironheart which started filming two years ago and we haven’t heard anything about it in a while.
