From someone with a strong interest in macroeconomics and not frontier idiot youtube economics: stop reading zero hedge, stop looking for economics advice on youtube, stop reading things that feed into your preconceived notions. If you actually care about economic modeling, forecasting, and theory you should start at…

The FoST is a lot better. These are pigs in coupe form. In convertible form they’re even fatter pigs and the chassis is flexy so there’s no roadfeel. If you’re going to spend money on a 90's GT convertible with questionable reliability, get an sl 500. The Japanese convertibles were sloppy until they figured things out…

Gangsta rap quickly became bad and self-loathing, giving way to bling-era rap. After the initial insight and novelty from it, everyone from Andre 3000 to Tupac was writing about how bullshit it was that you had to write your albums interspersed with shallow tough guy shit or the dudes who worked at foot locker buying…

Please see all prior replies to your bad opinion post for how stupid it was and feel bad about yourself for a little while. I starred many of them for emphasis.

Chagrin, not really the same as ire though... or irie. Irie is a lot better than both really. Let’s just all get irie.

What are you talking about? Early popular rap acts like The Fat Boys were self-deprecating comedy acts. It wasn’t until the 90's when it went really hard with gangsta rap, and that got popular in part because it lyrically shed light on something new and brought a totally fresh attitude to music. But even then,…

Missed opportunity to name this Bum Garden and make Madison water it before starts?

I don’t like the Giants at all and hope they lose with the Cardinals, pretty much the same fanbase but this herb garden is OK.

Pittsburgh has a good rep as well. They often come up on country’s best drivers list. Basically you’re fine as long as you avoid Texas, the DC Metro, California when it’s not sunny, any of the flyover state cities that aren’t Chicago (hi dirt hills like St. Louis and Cinci), and tourist locations like Orlando.

Shit. I’m a guy, and I’ve always cried a little bit. I don’t do it in public, but I don’t hide it around people I’m comfortable with. However, I think I’m broken and emotionally backwards. Everyone here is talking about breakups. After a breakup I’m just like fuck this! and put on some Bobby Shmurda or something.

What I guess you’re referring to colloquially is Democratic Socialism, which is still a Capitalist system at its very core.

No to the mk3 supra. That was my first car, and the suspension design is... not good. While the mk4 supra ran in a number of race series, they tried to race the mk3 and it was just bad.

Anyone caught excessively speeding in populated areas and involved in gumball, especially in the US, should have their cars crushed like they were street racing in LA. This isn’t the 60's on fresh paved highway, there are a lot of people on the roads.

Clearly you are making a joke about soccer moms being fat. An eye-rollingly bad joke so I’ll elaborate like it’s an actual question instead.

That they have to drive around a bunch of kids so they need a 3rd row and didn’t want to buy a minivan? Despite Jalopnik’s derpy love of them, wagons are crap vehicles when you…

I did this for 3 years with a silver car that had black leather. In the summer, I remember this being miserable enough that I’d rather have any other available seating surface. I had a sunshade too. I don’t want to stand outside my car with the AC on waiting for it to cool down. You shouldn’t get remote start with a…

Any black leather at all on a seating surface in a convertible tells me that you either live in a place that never sees sun or you are not thinking this through. Even in a car with a sunroof, never again with black leather. My last convertible had red leather. I would never buy anything darker than that. You will…

Bank software to do stuff like ACH transactions still often runs on mainframes with software written in RPG or COBOL for good reason.

Both? Alfa Romeo does not build good cars. Top Gear’s love of them is deranged in the worst way.

They absolutely should not do this. They should make an affordable compact hatchback to dramatically to increase sales and adoption rate in Europe and elsewhere abroad. If it works well in the US that’s fine too.

This whole lemonade thing... Beyonce has officially entered late-solo-career-Sting levels of lacking self-awareness. Pretty soon she’ll also be writing songs in Welsh about being a ship-builder’s son.

Once boomers start aging beyond collecting age, the Yenkos will drop in value. Relatively rare cars from the 50's and earlier that aren’t attached to emotionally exuberant brand names like Porsche and Ferrari are dropping in value compared to the later stuff as new collectors enter the market with all their nostalgia…
