You’re probably right, I was just playing devil’s advocate for the most part.

I don’t think it’s nearly as convoluted or as confusing as so many people are making it out to be ... the Everest is “based on the Ranger platform” The new Bronco will be “based on the Ranger platform”. That doesn’t make the Bronco the same as an Everest.

Makes a 70's show sound like a 50's show

Data storage constraints are very real, though, because left to their own devices people won’t delete anything.

automatically deletes all emails older than 3 years. All in the name of “data storage constraints”.

Oh man you picked the disco version? I absolutely hated it when they “updated” the theme song and made it disco. The original was all brassy, no bop. I was one of those kids with long hair yelling ‘disco sucks’ at every opportunity in the late 70's.

If you’re in a job and they’re coming to you trying to recruit you, then you have a lot of power.

PR folks don’t always ever tell the truth.

Bear in mind this situation is in Canadaland, not the U.S. ... there can be some rather drastic differences in insurance & safety laws between our two nations. As one or more Canadishers has posted elsewhere, they have a radically different car insurance mechanism. That repair shop may be held to certain legal…

Lol, they made it out of the upper receiver of a WW2 era MG42 (German machine gun) and motorcycle handlebars. Anyone else recognize the source of other components used in that creation?

dystopians think that robots can substitute as humans but as long as humans have emotions and an unconscious, the service industry will hire humans

I wish that carmakers would actually make an honest to god three-across seating area that doesn’t make the fucking middle position a fucking torture chair. Three equal size seats with equal padding and support. I cannot recall the last time I saw such a seat.

Wow, that seems just so very... excessive.

Oldsmobile at one point had 19 models on the market, concurrently?

The AC system removes moisture from the air being blown through the defroster. Otherwise the ambient humidity of the air being used will slow the defogging process down as it will be depositing extra moisture on the windshield.

Its not fear mongering genius, the company is going to die

Fear mongering over potential crash results is so lame ... I think we should let in any and every small cheap 2 seat car built anywhere on earth. Two seaters only so that reduces the likelihood of a family getting annihilated when the little foil car gets crushed, but single drivers should have the option to take that…

No athlete in the world benefits in any way from it.

All those words and I still had to google “sintering” because nobody in the back-n-forth defined it. Sintering produces a solid mass from powder by means of heat and sometimes pressure without the resources entering liquefaction. Melting, on the other hand, is all about the liquefaction.

Not if the word “needs” was being used as a noun. I can’t find the phrase in the article so I assume that Mr Orlove changed it? There’s also an archaic adverbial usage of the word “needs” ... still doesn’t make it improper grammar.
