Even before I watched the in-car footage of him definitely not driving at “around 50mph”, that whole part of his story reeked a bit too much of “Do you know who I am?!”, and kinda burnt any sympathy I’d worked up from the rest of his story.

Surprised nobody suggested a Forester or an Outback. Both would work (the Outback would fit the dog better), and if you get the H6 in the Outback you skip the head gasket worries. If you get the NA H4 in either, you just swap the head gaskets with MLS ones the next time you swap them, and you never have to worry about…

It’s even worse, when your insurance dicks you on paying out AFTER you’ve hit your deductible. My out of network deductible (which is several hundred dollars more than my in network one) has been met for the year, and yet when one of my doctors submits treatment to be paid, my insurance declines to pay, saying I…

In other words, Ford noticed their sales were going to go to shit, and it’s going to take them 2 years to undo the fuck-up.

Awww muffin...were your delicate sensibilities hurt by the big, bad words?

Wow yeah that was kind of a dick move on their part. It’s interesting that the pride organization would say the cops can’t participate, when the cops would still need to be there anyway, because the parade is big enough to merit a police presence for safety and traffic control purposes anyways. It’s not like there’ll…

I think that’s a bit of a signal boosting thing, rather than the actual frequency of things. A lot of conservatives in the US make a big stink, claiming BLM as a movement (which is similarly decentralized and as diverse in goals among those who claim membership, as the Occupy movement(s)) hates white people, and wants…

I’d actually be curious to compare the stats between the two. Hockey fights aren’t nearly as frequent as a lot of people think...

Fair enough. I’m from Detroit, so it’s been a few years since I wanted to watch NHL hockey...

It wasn’t the fights I was referring to, it was pitchers headhunting batters. Sorry if that wasn’t clear.

You should probably take some time to consider if your behavior is causing the black people you’re interacting with to respond poorly to you. I’ve lived near Detroit for 42 years, and none of the historically mostly (say 70% or so) white people I’ve ever associated with closely has gotten negative responses from…

This is about $3k too high. $11k is WRX money. This may have the WRX drivetrain, but it’s a Forester - they’re always cheaper.

You’re not wrong that hockey needs to reign this stuff in (which will be hard, because fans love it, and enforcers/goons are considered a tactical necessity), but baseball is by no means immune to this sort of thing, even if they get thrown out for it:

Do you ever worry that you’ll get stopped somewhere along the way, and your project Jeep du jour will be impounded for being too unsafe to drive in one of the states you travel through?

OK, I’ll totally grant that. HL2 did pad the playtime a bit, showing off its vehicles and physics puzzles. In that regard, part of me alllllmost wants to excuse it, since Valve was using it as both a game, and a tech demo for their new engine, but you’re still totally right.

I’m sure the main reason Steam didn’t flop is the popularity of CS at the time. If they hadn’t switched to Steam for the matchmaking on that, and shut down the old system, it could well have flopped.

Not gonna lie, that mechanic alone may well sell me a Switch at some point. I can only dream of transitioning as well as Link... 

Steam got crushed under the load, for a few days. But I was more annoyed with having to sit through 6 CDs of install, only to get to the end and have Steam tell me it needed to download the entire game again before I could play it.

Too true, just like you will. Odd, that...
