I expect Torchinsky will recommend this car on the next “What Should I Buy?”

The only time Rudy has seen the inside of a courtroom has been when he’s getting divorced. He managed an office full of prosecutors in the 80s - that doesn’t require being a competent lawyer, just being good at hiring competent lawyers.
He hasn’t practiced law at all in 25 years.

Top 7% for traffic congestion....average commuter spends 35 hours a year in it.
So assuming 5 days a week and 50 weeks a year, that’s 10 minutes 30 seconds per day.
Oh, the horror, the humanity.

For a while I lived in San Francisco and worked in L.A. So every Sunday night I’d take either my bike or my car and head to L.A., and back Thursday night. When the weather was good, of course I’d use the bike. L.A. requires lane splitting to be tolerable.

Homemade sub? Why would you...

According to cars.com the manual was good for 155 hp, 145 was the auto.

*Sigh*. Here’s how purchasing power works:

Stop being ripped off by banks and card issuers, get ripped off by exchanges, and people using tether to manipulate exchange rates in a pump and dump.

Without it, its pretty hard to rob people via ransomware.

The gold stored at Fort Knox isn’t even 10% of the dollars in circulation. For good reason. You issue dollars to among other things keep up with the growth of your economy, otherwise you get deflation.
If you had to buy gold to match that, literally your entire economic growth would go to buying gold.

You are confusing real and nominal value.
If overnight I doubled all prices, savings, debts, incomes, etc. would the currency be worth half as much?
Nope. It would be the same.

Okay, two guys issue their own currency.
Jimmy owns the Golden Gate Bridge. He can charge cars for passing it over every day.
John owns nothing.
Which do you think has better backing, Jimmybucks or Johnnybucks?

Because the people of a nation - and thus its economy - collectively form and own the government, which issues that cash. So the cash represents the assets, goods, and services of that economy. Dollars are worth all the things in America. And using them, storing them, etc. is protected by that government.
Crypto has…

But nobody is trying to use gold as a currency. It has value because it is used for decorative and industrial purposes. There are intrinsic uses other than as a store of value.
That is not the case with bitcoin.

In south Florida we have an annual day where hundreds if not thousands of idiots take to the roads on quads, ATVs, and dirtbikes, stunting on every freeway.
I have never, ever heard of any shooting resulting.
Maybe because when everybody has guns, you hesitate to pull yours out when someone is being a dick, because…

Eye of the beholder, I guess. Certainly better looking than the old one, which looked like something you’d roll assemblies on in a factory. And more likely to withstand a quake.

You’re comparing a Japanese and German car in terms of reliability?

You write about this, and you don’t even bother to report what Fancy Kristin would drink out of it?

Well I used to live in San Francisco. Good luck getting over those hills without breaking a sweat, and if you get downtown after 8:30 every bike rack is jammed full.

How many puns can you mine from this?
