Really, it’s not like a Ponzi scheme where you can use some of the money coming in to keep older suckers at bay.

I believe that the daily commute has a lot to do with this. Enough people were able to eliminate or reduce driving into a workplace that those miles dropped off of the chart. And a corollary to that is by having more free time due to not commuting, more of those other trips could be combined into a single trip.

“What’re ya in fer?”

The key is to use mostly white lights. Those can stay up past Christmas, even post-New Year, per the authorities (my wife). Colored lights, while festive, should be isolated enough that they can be put away independent of the white lights. The same thing for anything oppressively red, Santa/reindeer themed, or clearly…

I still worry about nuclear war, but it’s not foremost anymore. Nukes are difficult at best, so the possible actors are limited. Higher up on the list anymore is the possibility that someone will use CRISPR technology to create something really awful and contagious. That is much more available to the kinds of actors…

Either way, this dude has some explaining to do

I wondered whether the craftsman of that tray adhered to the Muslim tradition of purposely inserting an error into the execution, since only Allah is perfect, and attempting perfection is blasphemous. Perhaps cutting off the design fulfills that goal?

absolutely zero grim-dark vibes

1990 audiences just didn’t care about it all that much and didn’t reflexively view better off people as insidious and inherently unsympathetic, so the movie doesn’t stop to address income inequality and apologize for the McAllisters the way the movie would if it were made today.

The Maxx wasn’t ugly, like the Cybertruck. It was mostly just boring, even though I saw faint hints of the Avanti in it. In profile, the trapezoidal greenhouse and the long hood compared to the abbreviated rear deck gave a weak comparison. It’s biggest draw, though, was that it was about the last mid-size car with a…

I know that plenty of others are already dunking on you for this post, but do you seriously think that a man can’t sexually harass or assault another man? Someone with a mindset to use their power over someone else for sexual gratification doesn’t limit themselves to the opposite gender.

I’m thinking that there’s a huge market opportunity here. If the Grenadier can have a Toot button, why shouldn’t cars have a Whistle button, maybe even with multiple levels of appreciation from Go, Daddy to Wolf. And how about a Raspberry button for asshat drivers that can’t figure out how to use turn signals?

are a LOT more parents driving their kids to school, like by a massive amount?

For what it’s worth, my wife, her sister and niece all drove Maxxs and liked the syling.

That’s the big problem with these things, there’s no proper place to operate them. They’re unsafe on either streets or sidewalks.

The concept would work much better if users had to return them to a dock, but that would obviate one the biggest attractions to them.

This is great!. The only thing better would be to figure out how to make the ornament hanger removable so that you could run the cars down the track around the tree.

We’ve got to see at least one of them sooner or later

Or yet another set of characters from Transformers
