Team blue out here defending this nonsense tells me they’re worried about their prospects in the midterms and beyond. Team sports politics is a cult.

A timely article! I’ve been considering this for our vehicle.

I learned on an F-350 for work as a landscaper with my angry boss sitting shotgun. Drove it a few times before going back to school. Then 6 years later bought an ‘03 civic si in ‘06 and had to drive it with no plate about 30 miles home on the freeway. That was an adventure, but by the time I was halfway home I was…

All of this is irrelevant to the central point, which is that you made an error in conflating “rich” with “makes money” in order to take a dig at an author with politics you don’t like. Try not to be blinded by ideology at all times.

“They could do something else” is a really convenient way of disregarding any and all potentially legitimate grievances these workers might have. What if some really can’t do something else due to flexibility or scheduling? The world is rife with stories of folks who have to work multiple jobs because their…

Anybody without a political axe to grind can easily discern the difference between “rich” and “makes money”.

I just moved from the SE 2020 to the 13 Pro and my hand/thumb is in pain! I have big hands, but it’s still a lot of unnatural stretching to get to certain parts of the screen. The main things that made me switch were battery life, camera, and screen. If the new SE went OLED and improved the camera, I’d probably switch…

I mean, basic physical laws should be enough to know that in an accident the occupants of the heavier/taller vehicle are probably going to fare better than the occupants of the lighter/shorter vehicle.

No, it just means they are safer on roads where the majority of vehicles are SUVs and trucks, which is the whole point.

“Taken as overall classes, the IIHS says minivans were safest (25 fatalities per million registered vehicle years), followed by SUVs (28 per million), then pickup trucks (52 per million), with the broad “cars” class rated most deadly (56 deaths per million.)”

Notably, when bosses insist that WFH isn’t working, they never offer any quantifiable data to back it up. Just feelings. 

Road rage is a particular problem here because Americans are overworked, underpaid, financially precarious, always in a hurry, and have to drive everywhere for everything. So, welcome!

Yes. I think a lot of cars have this feature buried in settings somewhere. I appreciate that ours has a hardware button.

My ‘18 Ford Expedition has a physical button to completely turn off the touchscreen. Pretty sweet!

The capitalists and the politicians they own won’t do a thing about climate change unless they can profit from it. It will continue to be toothless platitudes until then.

I’m guilty of this but I blame the manufacturer of my SUV that had a $66k sticker price and came with absolute garbage halogens. 

Ah Archos. The 605 was one of the greatest tech purchases of my life. Loved that thing.

We have a Mazda CX-30 as a rental while our vehicle is in the shop (4 weeks and counting). I really like it despite it being WAY too small for our family. The infotainment system is atrocious however.

He’s right, but for the wrong reasons because he’s a huge piece of shit. EV tax credits are largely a handout to relatively wealthy people and the automotive industry. This is of course because the government loves nothing more than giving kickbacks to its patrons. Besides which, electric cars have a massive…
