If it makes you feel better, it’s quite unlikely that you won’t be able to drive yourself in your lifetime. It’s really unlikely the tech will mature to the point that we’ll actually be able to rely on it soon.

I was around when those things existed. I had a Diamond RIO, as a matter of fact. I also worked for Apple for nearly a decade, so I’ve got a pretty good handle on their inner workings.

Maybe price out a set, send a copy of the estimate to your landlord, and propose you replace them and deduct the amount from your rent?

1st: I’m still at a loss as to what, exactly, any Apple car would bring to the table. They sure as hell haven’t solved the autonomy problem, their brand of interfaces are available to anybody who can get a stereo that does CarPlay, and nobody needs a car that can’t be fixed.

Your cucumbers just now are flowering? Jeeze. Mine are all parties out now. I planted them in mid-May, got more fruit than I knew what to do with, and now the plants have all given up and died. As is usually happens, actually.

This seems like a pretty obvious case of Bad Cop Being Bad. Why would this guy not be bounced out on his ass, again?

ND. 20k will buy you four well loved Miatas with some cash left over to keep them working. Or most of a new one. Get out of here with this.

Too bad it didn’t happen in Virginia.

My dad had an ‘07 Silverado with basically the same configuration, though his had the suicide doors. Due to mom’s Grand Caravan rapidly turning to brown powder and not needing a truck anymore, he moved to replace both the van and the truck at the same time. He offered to sell me the truck for trade-in or the van for…

Not according to the article. I also recall playing some deathmatch — as much as one could with a modem back in the day — and it being…not great.

Basically, what I’m hearing is “this game sucks unless you have a rocket launcher and/or a lightning gun.”

I absolutely love this car. Except for what looks like a complete and utter ergonomic disaster in regards to the control layout. I’m also not in love with the fact that the passenger seems essentially to be stuffed in a luggage compartment. When you drive a two-seater, you should be choosy about who rides along; it…

Both. Q-Tips for making and marketing a product almost exclusively used for the wrong thing, and then thinking they can get around it by printing a small warning on the box; the user for jamming something in their ear.

I’m a big fan of the concept of salaried work going away entirely. Companies are keeping track of the hours worked on what for accounting purposes anyway. I’m salaried and I submit a time sheet every week. I do it so the accountants can calculate expenses and amortize projects. I don’t punch a timeclock, but I…

But then how do they rake in all that sweet, sweet cash?

“Talking about how the companies that make the games we like are horrible and that maybe our hobbies come at too high a cost is boring.”

Yeah, I don’t think the author knows what a postmortem is. I suspect they think it’s something you do when something bad happens rather than something you do when a project ends.

People still stick Q-tips in their ears despite the boxes imploring them not to and their doctors doing the same thing. People are going to do what they think they can do with something no matter what it actually does.

It’s not *that* slow. And that’s an oil *pressure* gauge. Why do you need a low fuel light? The fuel gauge tells you the same info.

Me too. If not for that procedure, I’d be a childless widower right now.
