My wife and I got a dog literally the day before we found out she was pregnant. We probably wouldn’t have gotten one a day later; having a puppy and a baby at the same time is extra work.

Radio is great and necessary as a way to convey information during an area-wide power outage, like you might see after a hurricane or that one time in 2003 when a squirrel in Ohio knocked out power to the entire eastern half of North America. AM radio in particular can have an ENORMOUS reach - like, hundreds of miles…

Shame they got rid of the curved screen. Won't be replacing my S23 Ultra any time soon. 

I am about to cross 100,000 miles on my Mustang GT and I’m about 12,000 miles into my third set of Michelin Pilot Sports. Admittedly I save a bit of wear by putting snow tires on in the winter, but still. This is absurd.

This seems like it’s stepping on the Palisade’s toes pretty heavily. I’m assuming that the new Palisade generation will move up in price significantly, which... seems like it would step on Genesis’ toes? I guess Hyundai is trying the Toyota strategy of having an SUV for every conceivable market segment.

Airplanes are built with redundancy in mind; even if that wing fails completely, there’s a whole other wing on the other side of the plane.

I like a clean, uncluttered look for the dashboard, so I’m going with the Benz Patent Motorwagen for the best gauges.

Those cars have style in a way this doesn’t. They draw eyeballs in a way this won't. 

GM and Ford combined make precisely one plug-in hybrid: the FWD-only Escape. Stellantis makes the horribly unreliable Jeep 4xe models, and the new Tonale / Hornet RT, which have been getting absolutely awful reviews. I don’t know why everybody else is letting Toyota and Hyundai/Kia dominate that market so much.…

I too want a unicorn pony.

I remember BMW saying they would never switch to turbocharged engines, and Bentley saying they’d be the last company in the world manufacturing 12 cylinder engines. I’ll believe this one when I see it. In the meantime I’m still daily-driving my 2015 GT, and later this year will cross 100,000 miles I’ve put on it…

In 2005, more cathode ray tube televisions were sold than LCD or Plasma screen televisions. By 2015, you could not buy CRT tv’s, and virtually no programming was made for them. If you think that gasoline cars are going to somehow be different, you really need to pay more attention to petroleum companies’ medium-term pl…

Did they get rid of the curved screen on the Ultra model? It’s been Samsung’s best feature for years, a total shame they haven’t expanded it to more models.

I don’t understand this segment, because if you have the money to buy this you have the money for multiple cars. “Performance” and “crossover” are going to always be in inherent conflict, such that by definition you’re going to need to compromise the capabilities of one to get the other. It’s not like the Maserati…

A big thing to think about with this is that last 50k miles or so - does anybody really believe that gas stations are going to be a thing that exists in America past 2040? It’ll probably be easier to find jet fuel than to find regular gasoline. So my answer will be a Toyota Prius Prime, because even once gasoline…

Thisis 100% a “you” problem; I think I must have at least a dozen USB-A to USB-C cables lying around in my box of cables. USB-A  is still by far the most common charging port, so they're a necessity most places.

I’m sorry... YouTube existed "when you were a little kid" and yet you're now old enough to have a job writing on the internet? Given the fact that 1999 was 10 years ago, how is this possible?

Somebody tell me why this is a better buy than a V8 Mustang. I can't wrap my head around why it would be. 

If I have knob-and-tube wiring in my house with a 60 amp fuse box, what kind of electric vehicle charging can I install, understanding that knob-and-tube wiring is ungrounded?

Can confirm that getting out of your car to scream at people is totally normal behavior in Brooklyn. Could be over a parking spot; taking too long to move at a green light; double parking; tailgating; going too slowly; blocking a crosswalk; refusing to cross a double yellow when there's a blockage in your lane;…
