Functionally the new steering wheel seems less functional (what do I know, I don’t own a Tesla and have ridden in one exactly once), but I’m curious if any auto manufacturer has ever tried a steering wheel with a non-linear response to steering inputs. Meaning that, the farther you turn the steering wheel from center,…

1) Don’t be a racist, in words, thoughts, or actions. 2) Repeat. Remembering the Holocaust should be more than a one-day-a-year hollow refrain of “never forget”. F-ing don’t forget then. Make being a decent human being an every day thing, that’s what you can talk to your kids about. Actions and behaviors speak louder…

Let her (not that we have a choice, but the people of Arkansas do). Still on the search for repudiation, the chance to know that we as a country are better than that. I guess we’ll see...

To say this lady has issues is comic understatement, but damned if karma doesn’t have a strange way of cutting through the chaff. But wow, the audacity of these folks seemingly has no bounds.

They could stage the entire inauguration in claymation and I’d still think it was a monumental improvement in the direction of our country. History isn’t waiting, this nightmare of a Presidency is seeming to worsen every day until the country wakes up on January 20th, and I expect that while we’ll metaphorically awake…

Target corporation used to be Dayton Hudson. Time changes everything, and if the Corvette name is the hot currency (other example now being Hummer), then I think GM would be wise to jump on the bandwagon. I don’t see this as a dilution so long as GM/Corvette keeps making good products.

If they cut the chatter and put this into production (caveats already mentioned in comments included), it’s hard not to see this as a winner. Especially compared to Vespa pricing. I do appreciate their attention-grabbing forward design, but the modifications for real life (storage in that “tank hole”, and a seat fit…

I recently purchased a Ravpower charger, advertised as 20w, but when it arrived the packaging all said (3 different places) 15w. Trying to determine which it is has been an exercise in frustration. They had preemptively contacted me to provide them with a 5 star review. When I said, “sure, after you clear up the 15/20…

Outstanding commentary. Yes, we collectively as Americans have absolutely not for the most part lived up to our billing as “exceptional”. BUT... I continue to fervently believe that our Constitution, the document these idiots claim to revere but likely none have ever read, was structured such that the potential to be…

Although this smells of scam, the concept of a watered-down version of Christianity, with an emphasis on deeds over words, practice versus hypocritical preaching, gospel message without the Jesus parts, has appeal to me as a practicing Catholic, kinda of the “baby steps” attitude. I don’t think these celebrity churches…

RIP, again. IMO #1 in underutilized “Bond girls”. Supernaturally beautiful, “A View to a Kill” was just an awful movie, and being beautiful was never going to be enough to save it.

My wish list for a next-gen Landcruiser is pretty short. A V6 hybrid (get the super torque from the electric but the range from a hybrid), increased space efficiency (everyone carries more junk, even off-roaders, and the current ‘cruiser is nowhere close to space-efficient). Yes, has to have available seating for 8+,…

I don’t mean to take pleasure at the downfall of others... but 1) it’s 2020, and 2) *happy dance* she’s getting what she deserves.

My very slim silver lining, shared because I think others will take solace. Think about the minutes ticking in this woman’s head knowing that the internet is scouring the Earth to identify her as the next Amy Cooper. She gets to spend this anxious time huddled with her lawyers and PR team on how she issues a mea culpa…

Cynical, but I have never perceived big Pharma as giving even a minor F about people over profits. Ever. Not even once.

Pfizer didn’t take any government money, unlike Moderna. Developing a vaccine is entirely understandable, but the advance scale up is where I’m scratching my head. The vast majorities of potential drugs, including vaccines, don’t come to fruition because they simply aren’t proven to be effective. For these companies…

Worth it (although it’s also at Costco now, unsure how much). I have both this (a gift) as well as the Ultra model, and can say that for what I use them for (pretty much everything except for yogurt), they’re interchangeable with only one exception I can think of. My Ultra has an option to use it for sous vide (if you…

The Caddy Voyage would have been a terrific next-gen to the production land yacht that was the Cadillac Fleetwood. In essentially all its generations it represented the quintessential American “limo”, where the coddled passenger could talk on his (always a “his”) “car phone”, have sex with hookers, or snort all sorts…

Yes, but... as some who’s done research and has lived through the perils of funding and such, this is undeniably a story with a thus-far better than anticipated ending, but I’ve been a bit sensitized to a weird quirk to all this, and at the risk of encouraging the tin-hat crowd, I will raise what I find puzzling about…

I think “grad school” may be generous. But the “ordinary, disappointing lives” part is IMO spot on. Obviously they’re wrong in their actions, but I empathize with their sentiments, that being the byproduct of generations of privilege, bit by bit eroding whatever self esteem and work ethic may have existed in their…
