Yeah, I was thinking the same. Someday relatively soon, electric power trains, batteries and solar panels will be evolved enough to make a feasible off-grid, all-electric RV a reality. Something you could take out into the wilderness and camp in for a few days while the batteries recharge.

Uh, what? I’m in my late 20s, and I’m solidly a millennial. Generations span 20 years; only the oldest of us are close to 40 right now.

Something that activates an audible alarm and flashing lights would be cheaper. The posted speed limit through there is 35mph.

My ex had a late-model Subaru Crosstrek. They’re exceedingly practical vehicles that get good gas mileage due to the CVT transmission and relatively small engine, and they do handle bad roads and mild off-roading quite well. We actually did get to utilize those capabilities fairly often, too, since we live in an area…

And also according to all the companies involved? Like what do you think they’re about to do, swerve at the last second back to proprietary standards for no reason at all?

There is no way car manufacturers are ever going to agree on a standard.

I absolutely love Mazda’s red and always wanted a car in that color. I finally got to own one in my red 3 hatch... for about 2 months. It was nighttime when my accident happened, so I don’t know if the color was a factor there.

It’s definitely hard to find the exact spec I want in the best of times, but you can usually find at least one good example if you have a little patience, particularly if you’re looking to buy/lease a brand new car. Mazda also makes this easier than most, because they only have like 5 trims to choose from on the 3 and…

I hear you about the torsion beam, and I do personally wish they’d gone with IRS like the last gen. But, having owned a 4th-gen torsion beam 3 and third-gen 2016 3 with IRS, I can honestly say that they’ve engineered the hell out of it and I had a very hard time noticing the difference, except maybe in the absolute…

I owned a 2019 Mazda3 hatch (Soul Red, Premium AWD) and absolutely loved that car until it was totaled after I was rear-ended at speed. I just picked up a CX-30 Premium because it’s almost the same car, and I’m a naughty enthusiast who decided I wanted just a little bit more headroom and practicality this time around.

You joke, but that’s really why I don’t play competitive online games at all. I have moderate depression and severe anxiety. The substances I take to manage those things negatively impact my ability to react to extremely fast-paced gameplay, so multiplayer twitch shooters and MOBAs are just frustrating and demoralizing…

Shit has been trending that way since at least Gingrich’s “revolution” in ‘94, by my reckoning, but it really accelerated around 2010 with the racist backlash to Obama’s presidency, the dark money explosion from Citizens United, and the Tea Party astroturf campaign. That’s also when social media really took off and…

Doesn’t really matter anyway... we would’ve had to get 4 Republican Senators to flip in order to stop this bullshit, and we all know that’s basically impossible with today’s GOP. We already got Murkowski and Collins, two out of three defections I thought were even remotely possible. Collins only did it because she’s…

Yeah, no kidding. I went through two bottles of wine on election night in 2016, and then I had to deal with existential dread and my shitty Trump-supporting coworkers’ gloating while nursing a nasty hangover...

the Democrats have plainly shown that they’re collectively unwilling to upend, regulate, and legislate all the ways that this current political shitstorm was fed into existence

I lived in Santa Fe for 5 years, and now live in Albuquerque. This is just tragic, and unfortunately, entirely predictable in a state with the kind of challenges we have. People think of Santa Fe as a town for the rich, because it’s the capitol, and if you’re just visiting, all you’re likely to see is a bunch of cute…

Q has over a hundred thousand likes. Unfortunately all too many people believe this BS.

Their new line is that he didn’t actually kill 190,000 people, but more like 10,000. A wild misinterpretation of a single line in a CDC table went viral, which is apparently all the evidence these idiots need to decide that only 6% of the people who’ve died of COVID actually died of COVID. They parrot a bunch of…

I know the Justice is just quoting the Politico article here... but this is just the latest in a long line of articles from Jezebel that somehow don’t manage to apply the same language they use every day to describe the sexual assault of women to the sexual assault of a man. Rape is rape, guys! They of all people…

Which is why they really shouldn’t put things like this on the ballot. It’s a human rights issue; we shouldn’t hold referendums on human rights. The legislature needs to do their job and pass a law to end it.
