2nd gear: I think a lot of the display of contrition is due to the expectations of the Japanese justice system than a true change of heart. I’m sure they regret getting caught, but I doubt they truly feel like helping Ghosn escape was inherently a bad thing to do. 

“Have you considered there’s a labor shortage because 600,000 people died,”

Brazil (and Argentina) is always the country of the future. But it’s always 5 years away. There’s just too much distinction to ever really happen. 

Because the demand-to-supply ratio for the Kia makes it a more valuable vehicle in the current market, apparently. The Telluride is immensely popular and I’m not surprised they’re more of a hot ticket item than the Highlander.

1st gear: supply chain bottle necks, labor shortage, logistics bottlenecks, and inflation... this is just the beginning of the economic hell that we face if the government doesn’t stop paying people to stay home right now. It is crucial to the survival of the country that we increase the labor force participation…

Can’t speak for the auto industry but I know from my companies dealings with Brazil it is one of the most difficult markets to work in. Government is constantly changing the regulatory framework which is more complex than almost all of the other developed nations, and it is diffuclt to have any stability.

Fahrenheit is also more efficient for humans. The celsius scale is too large. Human sensation of differing ambient temperatures is typically closer to 1 degree F. It’s easy to be one degree F to warm. But in C, you have to go to a third digit to explain normal temperature experiences. It’s simply easier to say…

Farenheit is ‘regularized’, the zero point was set at a eutectic mixture that any jamoke can reproduce with common chemicals. In fact it was much easier to make a eutectic than find the exact water freeze point. Using phase changes of water is just as arbitrary as anything, Why not benzene?

I say this is a Canadian and a scientist, Farenheit is not a dumb unit of measure, especially in the context of the time it was developed. In 1724, when Daniel Farenheit invented the system, he set the zero point to a eutectic mixture of common chemicals that was VERY easy to reproduce. The other point used was 96…

Anyone who needs exact temps likely uses Celcius already in their work and that’s fine. 

0° Fahrenheit: Very cold

Fahrenheit, as an UOM for temperature is just dumb.

The finger wagging is tiresome. Plus I consider myself fairly educated, and even I tire of the unnecessarily verbose diction and 20-dollar words over and over. It’s like: I’M IN ACADEMIA, SEE? DO YOU SEE?? HEY! I’M IN ACADEMIA! I think Elizabeth might’ve felt that way too as she even offered a translation.

Most crazy part about jalopnik is that a comment pointing out blatant racism is removed by the censor staff, But the extreme racist comment - no problem at all. Holy moly. It’s very disappointing. I honestly thought that the staff were better than this. :(

“Since the new imperialism of the 19th century, fossil fuels have become the metaphorical, material, and sociotechnical basis of Western petrocultures that extend across the planet...” “...fossil fuels matter to new authoritarian movements in the West because of profits and consumer lifestyles, but also because…

Why are you trying to force your white people grammar on me? 

Man I hate white people to!! It's so trendy right now. 

Out of curiosity, I just plowed through Dr. Daggett’s article. My immediate reaction is her brain might literally explode if you took her on a quarter mile run in that Hellcat Redeye Charger you just reviewed.

Open public racism is usually unpopular. Just not here.

As outsider who love this culture, I can’t imagine hating those who spent decades creating it for you to enjoy now.
