I had a two door Wrangler, a 2015, when our son was born. A fun car. Loved driving it with the roof off. But it never felt remotely safe enough for a baby, or a toddler. Even with the right car seats or booster seats. So he never rode in it - and it was gone within a few months of his birth. Just not worth it, there…

My goodness, you are dangerously naïve if you believe all of that. This how bad people get put in positions of power. Let me guess - you think Kamala’s got it all wrapped up already too, there’s no way Trump can win - and hell, they’re running such a shitty, underwhelming, irrational campaign that you probably don’t…

Not at all. The people operating his campaign are rationale. They won in 2016 with a catastrophically flawed candidate. Don’t think that because Trump isn’t rational, his handlers aren’t either.

On the assumption that the people working on his campaign are rational individuals who actively want to see him get elected and understand how bad a look this would be.

I’m sure the Trump campaign was unaware.

there’s an assumption here that fighting a fire in Europe is the same as fighting one in Norther America. I’m not so sure it is. Our building are taller. More of them are made from wood. I’m guessing that fire fighters here also have to respond to a wider variety of fires - forest fires, grass land fires, fires in…

I honestly get a red flag whenever someone posts a ‘really good deal’ on the basis that they’re leaving town right away. Sure, sometimes it’s probably the case, but it’s also the perfect storm for hijinks. A desirable car. Low price. And if you want it, you better buy it now - there’s no time for an inspection,…

Is that necessarily true though? My thinking was that they’d be building one gigantic one in place of building 3 smaller ones. So - no - they wouldn’t be mothballing three current ships (right away at least), but the ultimate idea would be to have fewer vessels transporting more people at less cost.

Yep - I live in a City of about a 100 000 people, and we get frequent cruise ships all summer. Nothing remotely like this - but we typically get the type that carry around 3000 people. When three of them arrive at once - and that does happen - we get a noticeable influx of people that clogs things up. I don’t…

This is going to be a regular driver too - and detroit has real winters.

I would have to imagine that a single, gigantic, 10 000+ passenger ocean liner would be more efficient than operating 3, 3500+ passenger ocean liners.  So if the demand for cruises is rising, maybe it’s best just to develop theses massive ships.  If my assumption is true, of course.

And just like that he’s sealed up the highly sought after ‘cartoonishly hillbilly’ demographic.

All I know is that “Venus plowing Lady Moura” sounds like some sort of x-rated Shakespearian fan fiction.

I mean yeah - you learn everything you need to know about someone in almost zero time. It has it’s uses, I suppose. And kind of reminds me of that old Far Side comic - “How nature says do not touch” - with pictures of a coiled snake, a cat with it’s back up, and a dude wearing a boot on his head and carrying a rocket…

I owned a CR-Z for a bit - in that brilliant metallic blue. It was actually a fun car - quick to drive and it handled nicely. But it was really only suitable as an only car for someone who was single, living in a city, and didn’t really need a car in the first place. There were better options for less money, obviously…

I’ll join the chorus of “early gen Dodge Caravan”. this one wasn’t just because of what it was - it was mostly the maintenance. Owned by a guy most of us are probably familiar with - the older, absent minded, failed academic that never quite made it out of the grad school mindset. Dude was probably in his mid 50s, but…

I’m confused - so Mazda is asking us if they’re really VW?

Seems about white that she’d get such a low blonde.  

Meh - kind of a boring article. Is the whole premise really just “you’re old and set in your ways and should change because I like something you don’t”? I mean... sure?
