That guy is either an abject fucking moron, or a middling troll, and in either event, he’s not worthy of your efforts. The fact he whines about obstructionism on the one hand while advocating, with a straight face, for a, hahahahahahahaha, 7/8 majority requirement on Senate legislation strongly suggests it’s the…

Yeah, my furnace has service stickers on it from the early 90s, so I feel pretty safe reasoning it’s at least that old.

FWIW, I barely know any streamers and only know of one car belonging to one, Wingsofredemption’s V6 Mustang, but judging by the reception that got (lol, “M.U.S.T.A.N.G.”, etc), this guy probably couldn’t have won with a cheap ride, either.

Reliability and maintenance is similar.

I don’t read the Times, but I’m quite aware of Manjoo from his time at Slate years back when I still read it, and this is about as surprising as water being wet or the sun rising in the east. For a tech writer, his facility with technical details is appalling.  I should go and see if he did a Windows 11 review, it’s…

THANK YOU! All of the From games have a platinum rate of 5-10%; not just completion of the game, mind you, but obtaining 100% of the trophies, which always requires at least 2 full playthroughs and a ton of other specific tasks. Truly “hard” games seldom see plat rates much above 1 or 2% (and there are plenty down at…

Well, by that definition then 38 U.S. states plus Washington, D.C. must have modeled themselves on Putin’s Russia, because that’s how many permit sobriety checkpoints, and SCOTUS has upheld the practice as constitutional.  Amusingly, they’re prohibited by state laws in the most soused states (looking at you, Wisconsin…

Heated seats. They debuted when I was a kid, and growing up in far northern Wisconsin, I always imagined how awesome they would be. To finally get a car that had them, decades later, only to learn that the sensation they transmit is not an enveloping, cozy warmth, but rather the impulse to take a power dump, was…

I can’t help but think this is going to crash condensed cream soup futures...

Really? You can't understand why someone wouldn't want to throw away 2/3 of the usable space in the tiny trunk of their brand-new car with a high school shop project? 

Agreed; super cheap and easy, and the payoff is obvious and immediate. I’ve got a new BRZ on order, and probably the only mod I’ll make to it (apart from PPF and a stereo upgrade, once JL releases a Stealthbox for the Gen 2s) will be some Carbotech pads and replacing the fluid w/ some DOT-4 Motul.

This absolutely should’ve been accompanied by a Waylon Jennings voiceover narration...

Based on the handful of disc-based upgraded games I have, the only reason, and it’s not particularly relevant unless one has severe OCD, is that the stupid OS will insist on auto installing the icon for the PS4 version, even if you already have the PS5 version installed.  Obnoxious, but hardly a big deal.  

Good luck; I just tried ordering a G86 Premium the week before last and the local Toyota dealer told me they couldn’t take orders on them, but that if I was happy fighting with other early adopters for the 20-30% of units Toyota deigned to make in manual, they’d keep an eye out for me. Very encouraging. I called the…

Alternatively, they could listen to the entirety of Will & Ariel Durant’s The Story of Civilization on audiobook; the series took four decades to write and comprises 13,549 pages in total, and anyone who reads or listens to it while actually paying attention will gain a PhD-level understanding of history, but it’s…

I’ve enjoyed plenty of racing games over the years, but overall, the most fun I’ve had with the genre is probably watching weregonnalose play NASCAR games.  

The fix is to disconnect and reconnect the battery at exactly noon or midnight every single day.

Out of curiosity, how much more would it have cost to just rent a cordless grinder instead?

Obviously replying to this late, but I just tried ordering a GR86 at my local Toyota dealer (who I actually like) this past week and they told me to pound sand, that they couldn’t place special orders for them, and then offered me a base model they’ll be getting next month, in a fucking auto. As if. I replied thanks…
