Thank you reactionary cons! Maybe the lines will be shorter at my local Jesus-Fil-A.

Is it surprising that a member of NYC’s number one gang would do something like this? I’m sure their self investigation will reveal no wrongdoing, while the officer involved gets a few weeks of paid time off.

Man, I’m still waiting for my SorosBucks for voting Blue

New Mercedes are too baroque looking to me, but I would love a R129 500 SL/SL 500 with a manual, though I don’t think that combo actually existed in any market. 

It’s kinda shocking/sad that the only way you have ever been able to get a 6 speed with BMWs current standard inline-6 (the B58) is in the Toyota Zupra.

That’s... busy. Also, it’s telling they make the PDK shifter look just like a manual shift lever.

The 612 Scaglietti is my least favorite modern-ish Ferrari. They took the long hood format too far, especially with those beady eyed headlights, and the rest of the design is just “meh”. In fact when I look at its front end, I think “Mitsuoka” not “Ferrari”. Not nearly as good looking as the 456 before it or the…

The promised benefits are definitely doable. Have a Pacifica Hybrid that just went almost 2,700 miles between fill ups, doing the daily school run (about 30 mi. daily) and daytime errands. Plug it in every night and during the day (WFH). Gets about the promised electric range (26-31 mi vs. 30 mi rating, usually on the…

Relevant Gizmodo article from way back in the day:

One way they’re making it more “efficient per seat” is just cramming more seats in. The 777 used to be 9 across in coach (3-3-3 configuration usually). Now it’s typically 10 across (2-5-2). Same with the 787 - they started out a comfortable 8 across (2-4-2) and is now typically a cramped 9 across. The is certainly the…

For gaming, I think the sweet spot right now is the 5800X3D. You can get one for under $400, combined with a cheap B550 or X570 mobo and good DDR4-3600 RAM. Otherwise wait for Zen 4 with 3D V-Cache.

Must: (wireless) CarPlay

You can get a very decently optioned X5 for thst kind of money. Despite being burned on an X5 diesel back in the day, I’d still rather get a new X5 over the Acura for that kind of money. 

So basically serfs, tied to the land?

The IATA code for Orlando is MCO.

I don’t understand the outrage... in most cases when divorcing parents get joint or 50/50 type custody, neither pays child support to the other, though they may carve out specific things (like health insurance, if one parent has a job with much better coverage, etc.).

Obligatory:

This is a pretty dumb take. It’s a version of the usual Jalopnik complaint (because you gotta continuously generate content, I guess) conflating what you or I think is a cool, or collectible car with what a carmaker can build that will sell in 2022.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it wasn’t also a(nother) hidden subsidy/freebie to corn farmers, the same ones who bitch and moan about “welfare”.

Or do what I do and just never connect your TV to the internet, and use an Apple TV. Since an Apple TV 4k can control the TV using HDMI-CEC, all you need is the Apple TV remote.
