I got lucky in this car buying situation. I got a new Kia Stinger GT2 last March for 10k off. There were only two people in the dealership when I went and I walked in and a few hours later, drove off in my new car.

It’s no Lancia Delta, but I did find this rotting away in a parking garage.

I can’t believe that this article showed up today. Because on my drive home I saw a brand new black RDX with gold badging. I didn’t even know you could do that anymore! Just seeing that brought me back to the 90s with its sea of cheap gold badging!

I was more meaning if the scientists gave it a taste ...

Peptides are nice and all, but they didn’t answer the most important question. How did it taste?

Another thing that is totally ignored by this restructuring is that most of HBOs shows have a long tail. You can watch a decade or more old Sopranos episode, but nobody is looking for decades old YouTube shows. So, the more quality content you produce, the more gets added to your backlog. Cheap and quick content needs…

I feel the same way! In the 90s I hated the Harlequin.  Now I regret not buying one new when there were two languishing on the lot of my local dealer.

The gatekeeping is still here, and it makes getting care extremely difficult. In my case. About four years ago my company changed the insurance policy to cover genital surgery. But, in order to get the surgery I needed two letters, from a psychiatrist and another mental health practitioner.

Protecting newspapers is exactly what Spain tried to do (https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2015/07/new-study-shows-spains-google-tax-has-been-a-disaster-for-publishers/). After the link tax law got passed, Google News pulled out of Spain, and publishers suffered massively. 

Hour long vertical videos, just what I wanted.

App stores have driven the cost of software way down. Going way back, in the 90s and before it was not uncommon for general purpose software to cost in the hundreds of dollars. Even going to the initial launch of the App Store, I remember paying $15 and $20 for games. Soon after there was a race to the bottom and…

Unless people are parking the Car2Go cars on the sidewalks, middle of roads or in lakes it’s not really a comparison. For the most part those cars are left legally parked on the streets. An equivalent would be the docked ride share bikes that need to be returned to specific places. When I lived in Seattle, those bikes…

So law enforcement unlocked thousands of phones, and yet they say little on how successful the operations were. You would think they would be screaming from the rooftops saying how many people they saved through forcibly unlocking phones. But they remain mostly silent, so it seems that even their data doesn’t support…

So they name it California, and yet they don’t sell it there. Interesting marketing they have at VW.

The shortcuts app is an integrated version of Workflow (https://workflow.is/) which Apple bought a while ago. I’ve been using it for a while and if they kept most of the features it is quite powerful. Essentially it is a drag and drop simplified programming language , with conditionals, loops and variables. Plus, tons…

Because of the storm I got to see an awesome double rainbow. My dash cam got a great view .

I stopped playing, not because of losing, but because of the ten minutes of banter before every game. I would have kept playing if they cut the excessive chatter and just stuck to the questions with some jokes and such thrown in.

I totally missed this the first time around. But the Powerpuff Girls livery is totally the best.

RC cars look like they are so much fun. Does anyone have any tips on getting into the hobby?

I just posted the service in a reply to another poster, but it is https://genesight.com/
