it's pronounced "Throat-warbler Mangrove"! 

The impact in this test is not how these guardrails are intended to function or tested in the real world:

“And if someone wants to point out how heavy semis are and therefore the exponential damage they cause should mean no big deal about the EVs’ weight”

I’d observe that guardrails aren’t really designed to stop ANYTHING that’s heading straight at them at highway speeds. They are designed to keep cars traveling parallel to the rail from driving further off the road if they veer off course for some reason.

I would rather have a Honda Del Sol.  Fewer repairs.  Less heartache.  Just as much enjoyment.

2024 Honda Civic Sport Hatchback with 2.0 NA engine and 6 speed manual. I just picked the modern equivalent of the last car I had that went over 250k (a 1993 honda civic Si hatch-D16 with 5 speed manual). They look pretty good and just work. That’s the beauty of low trim economy cars.

I can’t be the only one who thinks this is kind of awesome, right? Isn’t this basically peak-Jalop? Buying the cars of yesteryear that we claim to pine for, but also with a warranty?

Hyperloop was always a bullshit vapourware.

Nice try. But I don’t see anywhere in that quote about being racist and egomaniacal.

Great quote but using it to justify Elon spending 40 billion on twitter and acting like a douche bag on the internet is a stretch. 

It’s good to hear that, if you were in charge, Michael Che would have been protected from . . . a joke he wrote.  I agree with you that there’s just too much humor in this world, and we should instead make sure to determine (with percentages, no less) whether jokes have “bigoted intent” before we laugh at them.

The best troll is Hattie Davis being fictitious 

Yeah, like...we’re just going to try fascism, at some point. Actual, real-deal fascism. Couple that with our utter inability to learn until *after* a crisis hits, and yeah, not great!

It only makes sense Evil Ron Swanson has no mustache.

That moment was the best in the episode for sure. Love it. 

I read the scene as her needing to shut him up before his shouting gets the attention of one of the staff, or he presses his emergency call button.  

Lorraine in no way is a good person, but damn if I didn’t enjoy her calling Roy out on his bullshit. Baby, indeed.

This is weird, right? I know pop culture figures can’t be omniscient about all other pop-culture properties out there but given NPH’s geek cred this is somewhat vexing.

The timeline doesn’t work. It makes more sense to look at Fury Road as a reboot or that the Max in FR is a different person than Mel Gibson’s Max, who either doesn’t exist in this version or Hardy’s Max is inspired by or impersonating. Miller admits that it’s not clear, and I’d say it’s not particularly important.…

The big thing at this price of EVs is if they can get it to qualify the full Tax Credit.   Because if it is $32500- $7500  or $25k, this is a very interesting car.  If it is $32.5k period, it is less interesting.
