I don’t know what the situation is in the US, but in Europe you can find brand new 370Zs from 22.700€ ($25.5k ?), and have the Nismo version for 33.000€. So basically the Coupe is 4.000€ less than a base ND Miata ST, and the Nismo around the same as a ND Miata RF with the 1.5 engine. Of course, things are different if…

Having owned a sanyo scp-5300, and having worked in Espoo at Nokia House, this thread makes me nostalgic and sad. I helped launch the last Lumia phone and numerous Series 40 phones.
This should not be on the road. You are a danger to others.
If it’s more important for you to have an emotional “moment” than to have a fair outcome, go watch a fucking movie.
There is a lot to unpack there.
I also have family that went to Siberia and never returned. No, Lithuania has never been atop the power heap (at least not since the 14th century). That doesn’t mean we were innocent, either. Ask a Lithuanian Jew what their peoples’ experience has been like, historically. They’ll tell you some very interesting things…
She is from Lithuania which has a population of a little over 3 million people as of the last census is 2011. Of those just 264 are black. That is 0.000088% of the population. It is likely she has never seen a black person in her normal daily life. No black child at her school. No black person at any store,…
Knowing that someone else finds something offensive is different from it being culturally understood to be offensive around you.
It’s pretty understood that the Troubles is a sensitive topic for the Irish, but not many people bat an eyelash about ordering a Black and Tan or Irish Car Bomb in other parts of the world.

What you are saying sounds a lot like western culture in it’s sensitivity towards this topic is superior to Lithuanian culture, and she as a minority there are only 3 million Lithuanians should follow American values/rules?
Judging a Lithuanian who wants to be a black hero by your own convoluted culture doesn’t seem just. And it’s flawed logic to say that it offended some black person somewhere and we shouldn’t offend anyone because it also offended some white supremacist or some religious wackadoo somewhere who thinks it’s disgusting to…
Lots of talk of history and no mention of how Lithuania shares none of the colonial history that makes blackface actually bad?
I get why she was banned. American company American rules, but the whole idea that the whole planet is supposed to know and follow the cultural norms of the Anglo-sphere is absurd. Not only absurd but based rooted in the very same imperialist ideas that made colonials so certain that they were the cultured ones,…
Because of history, those things are not equivalent. Blackface was once used in a way that dehumanized the people it was portraying: it is a part of a racist legacy.
No, she can’t do that. If she just wear clothes it will be whitewashing .
I totally get that he’s your son, but if he’s old enough to drive, I bet he’s heard that word before.
Every time I see a Taycan in person, I always think it’s a Panamera at first. The proportions are very similar, except a bit lower and wider looking. It’s like how your mind’s eye sees a Panamera and autocorrects its proportions. It’s a good looking car in person.
According to someone familiar with the area:
Worst we ever did was a Clippers game where we snuck down late in the game to something like 6 rows from the sideline. Early ‘90s Clippers, so garbage game, garbage time fouls I think they’re down by a bunch (likely).
