I bought a new landline phone just a couple of years ago (Yes, I am an anachronism), I just checked, and Best Buy will still sell you one. 

And let’s not forget that also included the infrastructure to let them all talk to each other.

It probably is, and I’m not seeing a problem here. Just flying a couple of people over to stick another flag in is a pointless exercise in nostalgia.  Creating a system that lets us do serious work on the Moon, and elsewhere is what really justifies Artemis.

Not to mention the slightly grotesque notion that having uncool tastes in cars is somehow equivalent to sexual harrasment.

Maybe “Low impact” would be a better term.

No, what gets ignored is that there are massive environmental impacts to making every other part of the car as well, and that is going to be true whether they’re running on batteries, fuel cells or internal combustion.

Which defeats the whole point of the exercise, which was to get off fossil fuels.

Here’s something I find odd. Now, I think hydrogen does have potential, and there are even hydrogen cars available in some markets, yet for some reason hydrogen boosters keep insisting it won’t affect the grid like battery powered cars. How do you think the electricity gets from the plant to whatever you use to…

And now you know why GM is making things like the Hummer. You want to feel powerful? Here’s a four and a half ton urban assault vehicle that will leave a Lamborghini in the dust. Best of all, the liberal cucks at Jalopnik hate it!  It’s the most American EV ever made.

It’s a 1961 Imperial.

Though I will say that anyone who’d turn up their nose at the Toronado because it’s FWD needs their head examined.

I have a large soft spot for the first gen Olds Toronado, and the ‘67-’70 Eldorado, but they’re fwd, so how about a ‘66-’67 Buick Riviera?

The Abominable Dr. Phibes has to be on that list.

It doesn’t sound very pleasant, though if you’re going for “the worst place in America”, I’m going to suggest that this place is hard to beat.

Ford used to sell anti-Semitic hate literature through its dealer network and inspired Hitler.  A few intemperate tweets is practically saintly by comparison.

The funny thing is, as far as I can tell, people didn’t get bent out of shape over the gender swap in “His Girl Friday” as they have over more recent character changes. Maybe people have gotten more weird and toxic. May it was just that everyone’s assumptions were so firmly set back then that it never occurred to…

Disincentivizing comments is a trend that’s been happening across the Internet for a while now, and more that a few sites have given up on allowing comments altogether.

And yet, ruin porn is exactly what has sustained European tourism for centuries.

I’m going to go with the Seattle-ite XXI, because I love the fins and bubble tops era of concept cars so much. They never made a functional version, though it was supposed to run on electric motors powered by fuel cells. Not the most efficient design ever, but it couldn’t be any worse than an electric Hummer.
