PPP isn’t down with improvements on OPP.

And yet it only takes the one Karen to dial 911, which is the real tragedy of these things.

This. The lack of self-awareness on her part is insane. “Let me hop the fence onto your property so I can berate you” isn’t a 1st amendment right.

I know you were joking, but that’s basically what people did in the middle ages: Families had a pot, food went in the pot mixed with water.  Pot was boiled, food was safe to eat.  Though potentially not particularly great tasting.

The Twitter thread says what the safest plan is - wash your hands before you sit down to eat.

This. It’d be more-than-average fun to drive, but given the # of issues (and shoddy repairs), it’s not worth anything close to asking. $500 and you have fun with it until it goes on to the Pearly Drive-Thru? Great, but you can get more reliable cars for less money, and more fun cars in much better shape for not much…

This. It’s a car that you can drive (hopefully all the way home without issue), that will be more-than-average-fun, but the known issues alone mean that you’d be a fool to trust this thing to get you to work or a job interview, or pick up your kids months from now.

Dodge’s real tragedy isn’t that there’s a baker’s dozen of 2016 Darts sitting on dealer lots. It’s that Dodge’s 1st and 3rd best sellers in Q3 were Caravans and Journeys, which are both based on the Chrysler RT platform that debuted in 2007 (when the company was still merged with Daimler!!!), and which apparently is…

Dealer: “I know what I got.”

Somebody needs to tell all the people with old Dodge Caravans I saw on the road in Florida that they can’t haul a boat with their minivan.... since a lot seemed to be doing a pretty decent job of it.

Depending on where you live, it honestly might be cheaper than you think - if you live in a place where rigid conduit is required, depending on what choices were made when the house was built, there’s a good chance that an electrician could just pull the appropriate size wire through the existing conduit - though you…

Neutral: For consumer (not commercial truck/van) EV chargers need to be near where people sleep (usually houses or apartments), and, secondarily, where they work (for employers located in places where most people drive). Everything else is secondary, since most of us don’t fill up our years with extended roadtrips…

Sure, and Nissan has certainly had some great cars through the years, but if you’re the “last choice” car marker, you’re 1) not on the shopping list of a lot of car buyers and 2) have a pretty firm ceiling when it comes to average price, etc.

I’ve seen a fair # on the road in Chicago, but they’re badly outnumbered by Teslas (which are rapidly becoming the default “luxury” marque around town). The problem is they’re firmly a city/suburban trip car, and not a particularly fun or good looking one - if you didn’t care about the way it was powered, it’d…

yeah, but how many are vehicles people actually wanted? There’s some older Pathfinders on the road that feel like they fit the bill, but AFAIK people buy Altimas because they can get a good deal, not because they had a poster of one on their wall. They’ve become the “we can get you into a new car even with bad credit”…

The statement is far from completely false.

With the Bulls this millennium, the real measure for success isn’t if you win or lose (you won’t win), it’s how memorably you fuck up along the way that.

I mean, fair point, but it’s $60. A working computer that connects to the Internet, plays games, streams, can videochat, and it costs less than most new console games do.

I don’t have much use for one personally, but these things are a godsend if you’re around kids with a crack-like addition to screen time.  (I don’t…

Well, transit needs better funding in general, but:

I almost wish I believed the Ricketts didn’t care about the team’s performance, since the worst teams frequently have the most “hands on” owners (see: Charles Wang and the NY Islanders as one example). No, the problem is that the Ricketts own the cubs more as a hobby than a serious investment - sure, they use it as a…
