You aren’t going to believe this, but Senna and Schumacher were also insufferable assholes. 

...And that's why they are such great values. Uninformed people assume that they are maintenance nightmares because of Jaguars reputation from the 80s and 90s, but in reality F-Types are actually pretty reliable and easy to earn on by European standards. My 2015 has been far less costly and difficult to work on than…

The unfortunate truth is it isn’t that simple. As I read somewhere a while back, “What people think of as the South, or the middle of nowhere, is really just 30 miles outside of any major city”. I live squarely in northern Massachusetts and I worry every day that New Hampshire will go to Trump in 2024, just based on…

Look, I get we all want to do something about China (and to a lesser extent, India) ripping all the jobs and money out of the heartland, but the time to do something about it was thirty years ago instead of helping China become a nearpeer level threat.We missed the boat on this, and suggestions like Trump’s just will…

I’m loving the game, but a “next gen” game where they’ve “pushed the technology” this very much isn’t. It’s missing lots of graphical features that are fairly standard with most next gen games now.

Formula E, the series that hardly anyone watches...

This is a fantastic write up!

I’m not sure how to do the correct math but if the odds of ANYONE on earth being hit are 1 in 2,467 that does not mean that MY chances are 1 in 2,467 as I’m one of 8 billion people.

As a back-door pilot for a Gideon the Ninth series it had its moments, but “tonally uneven” is about the most generous description I could give to it, and a lot of it was just flat out bad.

So, it’s basically an RX-7.

I mean, if the bridge is safe enough without the lights, why are we wasting energy on lights?  Nighttime’s bright enough as it is and light pollution is a real thing.

I keep getting emails from Venmo telling me how I can invest my Venmo money into crypto.  Yeah, and I can set it on fire too.  

I mean do you think he has broadband just for stadia? Do you not need internet to get updates/dlc/online features of consoles? Yes, you can play some offline (not live services games) on consoles without internet but most people (gamers especially) have internet in general. The true issue with Stadia and internet…

Low hanging fruit, but Tesla. It’s not just that switching between basic controls involves shuffling through menus - the bigger crime is how they set this awful trend of covering the cabin in screens and tying all controls to one (not entirely reliable) interface.

This x1000.

I don’t want to tap through seven menus on a slow moving, half-baked UI to adjust a climate setting. Give me knobs or give me death.

...it’s almost as if we live in a nation with precious little respect or protection for regular working people!

“A little tacky” just means they didn’t go Full Miami.

It’s a valid concern, if you ignore that manufacturers have continued to improve engine performance in the face of emissions regulations for decades.

Tesla is pretty expensive already (although it’s much worse here in Canada due to the rate of exchange). I also don’t think there is any chance of Tesla sticking to its MSRP when (if?) the Cybertruck launches.

Looking at their lot design, they really screwed the pooch here. A bunch of the CFAs in SoCal have added extra queue space by carving out some of their parking lot spots, but this one is tiny and there’s nowhere to expand on-site. It’s really short-sited and they should have dealt with this a lot sooner. When you have…
