Related question: what’s a good (widely available in the US) non-alcoholic beer? My wife is pregnant and misses beer, and we weren’t sure if O’Douls was worth getting or if there are better alternatives.

CR doesn’t like the shifter buttons in the Odyssey, and they like that the Sienna has AWD. That’s about all there is to it, which to me doesn’t balance out that pretty much everything else about the Odyssey is better.

Obligatory:

Really hope they’ve fixed the “clock and notifications go away on the lock screen” bug, or are working on it.

I just made the switch from Android to iPhone, so I have a lot of opinions.

and 10-speed transmission that adorns all the Odysseys.

I truly cannot believe I’m about to do this, because I cannot STAND Austin Dillon... but Almirola didn’t seem to have the car to keep the lead. Dillon just had a better push and Almirola got in front of him, so Dillon ran him over. If this had been a different track, Almirola might have been fine, but momentum is a…

I’d bet you anything that if Ledecka had been an American they would have been all over that. The jingoism (which I kinda get, it’s the best way to get eyeballs) is really annoying.

I would put it as “if the average price of oil in the previous quarter is X, the gas tax is Y.” I wouldn’t have it be a set price because of the reasons you mentioned, but also because “government setting prices for consumer goods” is actual socialism, not just the “Republicans don’t like it therefore it’s socialism”…

The drummer in my band drives a ‘98 Ford Expedition, with about 250K miles on it. Only reason I know that level of detail is because he bought it from my parents. It fits his kit and his two kids just fine. With a budget of $7K, you can probably get a newer one in better shape, but it’s a proven combination.

Here’s a question: what if we tied the gas tax to the price of oil somehow? Cheap gas = higher tax to build up funds for infrastructure. More expensive gas = lower tax to minimize the impact of the gas price hikes.

Surprised this hasn’t made the list yet:

is there anything more Australian than a V8 Supercar vs. Mad Max build drag race?

Hey, look on the bright side. He’s already got his “gritty underdog story” segment for NBC’s coverage in 2022.

Hence why it passed.

Not just fitting the drivetrain in, but replacing literally everything below the windows (most of which they’ve fabricated from scratch) while they’re at it.

It doesn’t matter what would actually stimulate the economy, because the tax cut was never about stimulating the economy. It was about making the donors happy, and any notion of stimulating the economy is 100% pure marketing.

I’m just gonna leave this here:
