This feels like a brutalist take on an S Class. In a very good way.

The “Ultimate Driver’s Honda” I politely disagree with.

The much vaunted American capitalism and industrial might is actually very fragile.

Probably because so much of what passes for being progressive online is taking ideologically sexy but wildly unrealistic positions and then shitting all over people who don’t match those positions 100%

Ugh. This is an ongoing problem where I live. We have a fairly large slavic immigrant population here (mostly Ukrainian, but also a lot of Russians.) These families have a bad habit of coming to the grocery store in huge family groups. Usually a mother and seven to nine children up to their late teens. These children…

That’s right we stop at nothing ....

I work at UPS. You’re completely on the mark here. The info we have posted is mostly recycled from flu outbreaks, and there has been no effort at all to keep workers even three feet apart.

People are blaming 5G?

That’s the only way you’d get me on one of those stupid floating hotels...

Exponential growth rates mean that every citizen will be infected after a few months if people dont lock down. This this is much easier to spread than other viruses, and its kill rate in older people is quite high.

Yay! I found the “flu is worse” guy!

Should I have to pay a hefty fine

I have lived my whole professional life in San Jose and Irvine in some of the most expensive housing markets in the country. I’m also from the Midwest, though, and there are still plenty of nice starter suburban areas with homes in the $100k range. They’re generally going to be about 40-60 minutes from large urban…

What rural area do you live that you can't? Being within 100 miles of a major metro isn't rural.

Yeah, seriously. The fact that this kind of shit qualifies a person for a show on Discovery/Science is yet another indication of how fucking far our society has fallen. Sympathies to the dipshit’s friends and families and anyone who’s actually suffering because of this, but fuck an attention-seeking, science-denying…

CP at any price. There are so many red flags on this one it is like a Soviet Parade.

What are you even talking about? Western countries actually have robust IP laws which are by and large respected by American companies. And those that don't respect them and get caught are prosecuted.  To pretend that we are even remotely in the same league as China which is universally recognized as the world's…

Not sure of the ins and outs of that particular story, but trusting a company based in China to never spy on you or steal your IP is a mistake.

If you’re a professional user, the biggest problem isn’t the laptop, but the OS: a hell of a lot of professional software still doesn’t support Catalina, and you can’t replace it with an earlier version on this device.

Don’t think I’ve heard the term Engineering grade, I can guarantee not many engineers outside of software engineers use anything Apple. Pretty much every Engineering software package going uses windows or linux.
