And the HR-V, with the desirable AWD is unavailable with a manual. It’s like they don’t want me to buy their car.

Nissans are at a noticeably lower level of quality, but your logic is valid across the car spectrum, not just for Fits. Luckily there are people out there who are bad at logic and will buy new because they hate money and that ends up providing plenty of used car inventory for the smarter folk. Unfortunately, the…

See! This is why I come here. For comments like this ^^^.

They should just really charge everyone more for the unlimited data plan so the 99% of people who use less than 5GB/month can subsidize the 1% of people that use over 5GB/month. That really sounds a lot more fair.

I just thought it was a drifting competition.

To most Americans? Sadly, yes.

Why would the dragon change species. He’s simply an undead dragon, just like the whole army of undead former people. They’re not ice people now. As for whether he’s breathing fire or ice, wrong on both counts. Did you see the way that wall came down? Clearly he’s breathing blue antifreeze.

He missed some of the rings.

Her final bullet knocks the Porsche (and BMW) out of contention.

No, the chef would still be using the term colloquially because he hasn’t performed an experiment to test what’s in the sauce. A Scientific Theory has been proven by experiment, peer-reviewed, and published. That’s simply the process by which a hypothesis becomes a Scientific Theory. Things don’t become a Scientific…

I think someone will need to have insurance on the vehicle, for sure. I foresee insurance costs to also be much lower as the likelihood of an accident will be far lower without human intervention. Also, I’m not saying this will happen in the next 5 years, but 10 or 20? Yeah, I think that’s a totally reasonable…

You think so? An expected benefit of Lv4 is car sharing. A car could drive you to your job early, then drive itself home to take your wife to her job that starts later. It might then participate in Uber to generate some income for you, before showing up to take you to lunch. So why would you be more liable for the…

Store brand is store brand, but in most cases store brand is also name brand. It’s not like Safeway has their own cereal or deodorant or whatever factories. It’s just relabeled name-brand product intended to catch the value portion of the market share. It’s the same across many industries. Most lower models of HP…

Haha, yeah. It’s definitely tough to figure out how the sizes compare on your own. I always use an online site like discounttire.com to verify what size I should be getting, even if I’m going to buy the tires at Costco or something. It could be worse, at least you don’t have tire rub.

It’s a theory in the colloquial sense, like “I got a theory about what’s in that secret sauce,” but the colloquial use of the term (which is like a guess, conjecture, etc.) is almost the opposite of the scientific use of the term. “Scientific theories are testable and make falsifiable predictions.”

No I think their fairy tales all start the same. It starts to split up sometime after Abraham. Remember, he’s the guy who the voice in his head told him to sacrifice his own son. Apparently, the chickens and goats weren’t enough to keep the all-powerful sky fairy going. So Abraham put his only son (Isaac?) on the…

A hypothesis, by definition, is also testable. You come to a hypothesis after observation of some phenomena. You then construct an experiment to test the hypothesis. If you can’t test it, it’s not a hypothesis.

You’d think the conservative Republicans and the Muslims would get along better since they both prefer fairy tales to reality.

It’s only recently that you’ve been able to find any 15" laptops without a numeric keypad. It’s typically only been the really high-end Windows laptops or Macbooks that weren’t ergonomically hamstrung by number pads until the last year or so. The vast majority of 15" laptops still do come with number pads. Which makes…

Spoken like someone who doesn’t know how to type. Why would you possibly be hovering over the number keys with only two fingers?
