people dont know about the mcmurtry because its 4 months old and has only been in the public consciousness for 3 weeks after the intial carwow video.

I feel like this is partly Mazda’s fault for their goofy naming system. I drive a CX-3, which one would think is based on the Mazda3 platform, but is instead based on the Mazda2. The one based on the 3 is the more recent CX-30, which sorta makes sense but also not really. Then you have the whole CX-5 vs. CX-50 thing,…

I tried to price one of these back in ‘18, even some of the dealership employees didn’t know what it was.

I’m married to a woman that isn’t super interested in cars. There are Manufacturers she doesn’t know about. She’ll call me up and say “I just saw a car that looked interesting. It had an emblem with 3 points, what was it?”

Dolphins cannot be trained to attack humans - for whatever reason, they simply will not do so. However, they can be outfitted - as Russia does - with sharp needles and edges on their fins and nose that contain rapid acting poison. The dolphins can be conditioned to try to ‘play and roughhouse’ with human divers, and…

Yeah, or guys fresh off the plane from India on H1B living like sardines in a cheap apartment in Mountain View which is why big tech wants cheap guest workers 

My body temp is 98.6F, so I am in the Danger Zone?

This sounds just like alleged shortage of software engineers used to justify H1B visas. The problem is companies wanting a CS graduate with 5 years experience to work a 60 hour week in Silicon Valley for $40,000.

There’s a shortage of employers willing to pay pilots what they’re worth.

So, Oregon is going back to the “Old Style”.

Hallelujah!

Or even worse, it is on the surface, they can see out, but because they are literally bolted in from the outside, they are suffocating within sight of fresh air.

Not to wish ill on those on board, but I think I would prefer a catastrophic failure to put a quick end to me rather than sitting in the dark for 4-5 days waiting to suffocate.

I’ll leave this here on the latest CPI release. The number one inflation related item? Vehicle repair. The second? Auto Insurance rates. CA has denied rate hikes post-COVID despite the early trends in inflation related to automobile replacement costs and repairs. Sure, there have been rate increases now approved but…

It’s not a scientific endeavor, it’s a cottage industry for wealthy, thrill-seeking tourists.

It seems what the Coast Guard is trying very diplomatically not to say is that unless this sub is found on the surface, there’s no hope of rescue.

The submarine in question (Titan) is equipped with a 2D Teledyne sonar and 96 hours of life support for a crew of 5. It is also equipped with a “state of the art Real Time Hull Monitoring System”. One would hope that the data from the “RTM” is transmitted to the support vessel; otherwise I’m not sure what the point of…
