But that’s the difference between embracing trash to signal that you’ve reached a status where you no longer need to impress anyone (see Tom Wolfe on go-to-hell pants) and trying desperately to impress people, but doing it in a trashy way because you don’t know any better.

Kind of itchy?

Some of it is interconnectedness, like most of the cost being in the wiring harness so there’s no real savings to only getting one or two of the things that hook up to it. I think mostly it’s a result of lean manufacturing processes. Back in the day, the assembly plant would have a pretty big inventory of parts and…

The lake effect bands in Western NY can be just as localized, but the combination of colder air and the fact that Lake Ontario never freezes makes the conditions up North ten times worse.

I don’t think that “improving” means what NYT wants it to mean. Since the share of population having received at least one dose has been linear for the last month, that means we’re vaccinating about as many people today as we did yesterday. That’s not an improvement, and the slope of the graph indicates that it will…

As per the caption, “Extra doses in Pfizer vials and inconsistencies in data reporting may result in the percentage of doses used adding up to more than 100.”

I did that route at night once. It’s pretty much the darkest place in the Eastern US, and at the time was well known for its lack of speed enforcement.

I also flew through JFK the same weekend in ‘07 when those poor bastards got stuck on the parked Jet Blue plane for eight hours. At the airport in San Diego they assured me that everything would be cleaned up by the time I got there. It wasn’t. When I finally got on a plane out of there the next morning, it was…

I had a tight connection through Philly once back when the only way between E/F terminals and the rest of the airport was by bus. Halfway across a tire blew out on the bus, and we had to wait about twenty minutes for a replacement. I eventually got to the other terminal, sprinted to my gate, and did a full on Indiana…

I can’t be bothered to look it up, but there was a video on here just a few years ago from the Corvette factory. Cletus mounting the deck lid takes a look at it, says something like, “Well, that’s sorta flush.”, and sends it off.

That’s not so bad. I bet I could barely get my finger into that past the second knuckle.

Yes, but selling the same truck as a Chrysler would send them down the same path that made Plymouth redundant.

Isn’t that what they’re doing with the new Wagoneer?

But only after they’ve covered it in fake Bentley badges...

But then you have to ask; which nameplate is better positioned to go the Hyundai/Kia route right now, Chrysler or Dodge? And where does that leave the other one?

It would be a contest to see who could stuff the shortest first gear into their transmission and just crawl around the qualifying lap.

According to Bill de Blasio, “I don’t think someone who shows up and says, ‘Hey, I’m a SoulCycle instructor,’ should have qualified unless there’s some other factor there. That should have been caught in the application process.”

You really just need the $$.

This is sure to be an unpopular opinion, but...

I thought they were just supposed to re-word the university’s press release and send it.
