I used to live in a decently-sized suburb of San Francisco, which had 6AM street cleaning. When I got my first real adult job, my hourly rate was $2 more than the cost of the street sweeping ticket, so it literally wasn’t worth my time to move it. I managed to net $2 and a few more hours of sleep.

I fully disagree. Forcing everyone to use Amazon makes the process predictable and consistent, whether you’re buying from a big name publisher or a single mom and pop. You have transaction information that is common to everyone, so you aren’t talking about sale number 12345 when Mr. Tiny Bookstore logs the sale in his

Sounds like a VW Saveiro

My only real attribute I want is a car with 2 doors; I’d hardly call that unique. I think you underestimate how many cars on the road only have one person in them.

Unfortunately, I’m too tall to fit in a BRZ, especially with its comically small amount of wheel telescoping.

Hell, I would want one just for a car with only two doors. Other than sports cars and econo hatchbacks, I don’t think there are many 2DR options anymore.

So you’re saying that people don’t give to charity because they think it’s the right thing to do, but because they want a tax cut? What a shitty world you must live in.

That’s why it’s a fleet average, not that every single car or truck or SUV has to have the same fuel economy, and why there are compliance cars like the Chevy Spark and the VW eGolf.

The only thing that’s confusing for me is how they repeatedly pronounce the word “symbiotes” in the trailer. They keep saying “sim BYE oat” but all my life I’ve never heard anyone call it anything other than “sim BEE oat”. Similarly, “symbiotic” has always been “sim BEE ah tick”.

The same brand that knew that its cars could turn off and kill their occupants, knew it could fix it with a simple part change, and decided not to do anything about it for 10 years, resulting in 120+ deaths, that’s who.

No, I meant I didn’t know they even made a manual option for the A3; it’s usually only for the economy / cheap cars

The unfortunate truth of the Android app store is: if Google makes an app for something, it’s probably the best looking/working app for that task in the store. 10 years of Android and the store is still a colossal garbage pile.

Even state school students working towards undergrad degrees in viable fields like engineering and tech end up with massive debt. It’s not any one school or field; it’s damn near everyone. When it’s $25-30,000 a year for college, a huge majority of folks won’t be able to pay that without a loan.

Have you increased the font display size on your phone? Maps will scale based on that measurement.

Google is building music controls for Spotify, Apple Music, and Google Play Music right into Maps itself, so you won’t need to switch apps just to skip to the next track.

While Ehasz says the changes might not be as significant as some would like, a step toward increasing the show’s frame rate should hopefully make it less of a distraction for people jarred by the show’s look.

I can believe that, but my original point remains: who the heck is going to buy this new?

You’re assuming that Office 365 functions completely/correctly in IE10/11, which is the only browser of choice in many corporate environments, or that purchasing departments would be willing to switch from a once-every-few-years purchase of major Office versions to recurring monthly/yearly subscriptions, or that

I understand that there’s a huge market for vehicles like the Atlas because of its size, seating capacity, and practicality. What I cannot understand is why a low-volume, high-cost sedan would launch in a market that has waning interest in sedans, and has even caused some of them to die. See Lincoln Continental,

But to my original point, you get all of that - liftback included - in the A5.
