Somewhere, deep in a storage tote, a UW SCSI cable I paid 50 bucks for at Fry's shows a glimmer of hope.

We have owned two. Trouble-free EV and trouble-free motor. The over-engineered little electrical actuators (for trunk, for gas-door opener) were our maintenance costs. The US only offers a single, dreadful tire in the correct size (Bridgestone Ecopia), which is the true achilles heel of the thing. The tiny tires seem to be made of discarded twix wrappers, are super expensive, and get destroyed by potholes and road hazards.

They're lovely little city bugs and just a pleasant place to be inside.


Because mayonnaise can never be load bearing?

Can if you freeze it, not sure a domestic freezer is cold enough though.

My EQS has carplay and android auto, and I am a staunch google maps user. That said, I use the MBUX mapping most of the time. It does a good job -- and not just long drives where I need the EV charger logic -- day to day, it's plenty fine.

I don't see the blast. The endless non-job-related spam from "who wants to be hired?" posts is real, though, and actually creepy IMO. Looking at you today, pivotpaper.us

Apparently I am not on reddit enough, since I have no idea what a snowclone is.

I also enjoy Seinfeld and I have never 'got' McSweeneys. I just assumed I was a philistine to that brand of... comedy. :)


My gh actions were straightforward and moved to forgejo runners with zero drama.


can we not?


1946 was quite a year. Three presidents born that year: Clinton, W Bush and Trump.


I can't tell if I've just been in the bay area too long or what, but honestly, funerals could stand to be disrupted :) They could be better.

RIP Tim.


Really? when you hear "steam" you think "the pioneers in exposing underage kids to gambling" ?

I can't even picture gaben with a wispy moustache to twist evilly. I think that would look ridiculous on him. :)

Your "bad guys" are my "people are apparently and inexplicably mad that steam doesn't do their parenting for them" guys.


Yes, they basically pioneered lootboxes, they shaped and scaled microtransaction economy around randomized outcome purchases under disguise of gaming and then slapped a marketplace on top of it(to take even further cut %% nonetheless).

Add a 500m gigayacht to the picture, maybe it will make it easier. Or a fleet.

MapleStory and FIFA have that crown, though Valve certainly did their part to popularize them.


Gigayachts that are used for tax avoidance.
