We used to joke in the mobile software biz that “take the developers estimate, DOUBLE IT, THEN MOVE TO THE NEXT LARGER TIME UNIT” was the schedule guideline.

Yins are crazy 

That’s the best looking Mazdaspeed 3 yet. 

I didn’t think I cared about the side of the fuel filler, until I bought an Outback. Combine the fact that you have to pop it open with a lever on the floor and that it likes to freeze shut means it sucks.

“Oh but it’s okay guys, because we offer the new EcoSport in America instead!”

Good car, needed a trans at 75k..

Yeah, that salesman needs to go into politics. One of the best “technically, it wasn’t a lie” answers I’ve ever seen.

Yeah it’s a shortcut to how you like the car.

This is actually pretty cool. My parents always have various “performance” cars but yet they drive slow as Christmas. Whenever I get into their cars, I change every setting to MaXiMuM aTtAcK setting (stiffest suspension, most responsive throttle etc). In their S7 it took a few minutes to change over settings.....…

Tesla will alert your phone if your battery is running low. There is no reason the pet would die with dog mode enable. AC can keep a car cool on even the hottest days. They are extremely efficient on EV’s because you don’t have an engine radiator attached to the condenser.

What’s the over/under on the time before someone breaks a Tesla window to help a ComfyBoi?

I’ve noticed that an ongoing issue with Lifehacker is framing a regional/local issue as if it were applicable to everyone across the country (even though it isn’t), often in a way that could be solved if the author simply did a quick google search. So let me try reframing this story from my own, local perspective:

Or save them and when you redo the exterior of your house cover it in amazon envelopes!

SMS is a thing that needs to die. It’s tied to a handset or phone number. There’s no standard way of using or directing it to some other device. It has a crap character limit, regularly delivers messages out of order or not at all, barely supports binary attachments, can be difficult or impossible to search depending…

It’s basically identical to Universal Profile, save for one major difference: Chat does not support end-to-end encryption

David just wrote an entire article to be the guy at a bar who jumps into a conversation, clears his throat, and says in *that* voice: “ACTUALLY....”

So what you’re saying is that market trends are moving the auto industry into a Soviet era type manufacturing strategy? Produce one automobile and screw the comrades who don’t want it — they’ll take it anyway?

“When police arrived on the scene, the gun-haver—who claimed to have a license to carry the weapon—was forced to the ground. This guy is not being charged with anything.”

Such a weird way to phrase it. He obviously had a carry license or he would have charged with something. I doubt he was forced to the ground, but…

You seem like a really nice person.

Are you blaming Republicans for possibly not meeting your birth mother and her extended family? It seems like unnecessary detail you went out of your way to write.
