I just saw this article and thought “Jason missed the obvious ‘That Thar is not a Wrangler’ headline?”...only to see it has been summarily corrected. Read more

Trump will ban EVs from California, wait about 3 weeks, then sue California for enforcing the ban and subsidize GM to build more EVs. Read more

Don’t forget that in 1867 the UK was still trying to distance itself from the recently defeated US Confederacy, which just a few years prior was the world’s leader in gazebos per capita. Just the optics alone could engender a casual connection between two and harken back to just 5 years prior when trade relations… Read more

Exactly right, but don’t let facts or impact stop an argument — this is The Internet in 2020, it’s required. Read more

This needs to be cross-posted to Earther because reasons. Read more

I think it’s pretty easy to say that California just has so much critical mass in so many industries, that (plus a fairly mild climate) is a big factor...it just has to be a job that pays enough to compensate you for objectively insane housing prices and the highest combined taxes in the nation.

All of these things. I feel like superman with contacts, Clark Kent with glasses. Wait, that analogy was too literal. Read more

Ditto...not just the Biofinity Toric that I wear, but for almost 30 years of contact wearing, I’ve found the quality of the longer-wear contacts to be far superior to the dailies. Read more

Yeah, I’d like to think I have a good nose for satire and hyperbole, but this does read like an overly angry blog post. It’s the same issue I have with the writing on The Root — when you take your ire to the Nth degree, it can cause a lot of people to disregard it (or worse, push them away completely). Read more

Yo, I liked your comment and I’ma let you finish. Thanks. Read more

Not vaporware — just a company building cars as a temporary measure to get their name in the public in the most bombastic way possible.  Read more

I’m in total agreement. I give Tesla about 5-10 more years of carbuilding. One day we’ll tell our grandkids “You know, Tesla Worldwide Energy Conglomerate once started as a carmaker. Yes, seriously...cars!” Read more

If this had been Apollo, Gene Cernan would have popped out with an M-60 and a cigar and mowed them all down! Read more

To follow on to my earlier comment, for car purchase decisions, the companies that carry the most “American pride” for me at this moment: Read more

I beg to differ — the Prius absolutely looked odd and a bit freaky (and still does, but especially when launched). There were actually articles covering that —some changes were purely for aerodynamic purposes, but other, more normal-looking cars had similar aero, so that wasn’t the excuse. It was because the car… Read more

Neutral: For almost any purchase, all else being equal (quality/price), I would choose a product from a democratic country virtually every time. Secondarily, I’ll choose a product from a smaller, developing country before China every time. Read more

Richard Ayoade is the shizz. Read more
