Agree but this does need to be explained to people who aren’t in the know. These laws are currently being marketed as “put the power in parents hands” in various states left, right, and center.
Its a good bet when there seems to be widespread bipartisan push for restrictive laws that literally no one asked for, it’s gonna be something bad. But you have to explain to mouthbreathers in the electorate why or this shit just gets rammed through.
The Prologue may not be as advanced as you would like relative to other EVs, but for those who leased one last year before the credit went away… they got an insane deal. Less than $400/mo with nothing down, for the Elite (top trim level) AWD. Some got them in the $200/mo range.
I’m hoping the lease buys some time in the US market, and in 3 years there are new options that are neither Tesla (the Apple of the EV world) nor Chinese companies. Polestars are expensive and I have heard about the same service issues you mentioned. And I don’t like the idea of trading one set of spyware for another.
The Rivian R2 Standard could be a compelling (cheaper) option when it arrives. Or if nothing else there should be a lot more low-mileage used EVs coming off lease around that time. They could be cheaper and still have a lot of life left.
Great. Can’t wait for price increases or data caps or both.
CNN was reporting he had some kind of explosive material along with him. So maybe he expected it to go off but didn’t.
I sat in one because the guy at the dealership said it was their only new EV in stock. I see what they were going for, it is kind of a Porsche-esque swooped form factor. Inside I thought it was proportioned very oddly for my size (above average height). It was also very expensive for a non-luxury brand sedan.
Yeah I would think they’d be more useful for indirect tasks also, like supply logistics and sweeping for mines and tripewires.
Also the ground vehicle pictured has a mounted repeating grenade launcher, rather than a machine gun.
Fuck Tony for a number of reasons.
Brandon Hererra will win his seat and is a huge upgrade at that position.
And then people in the US “need” to buy a $750K house with a walk-in butler pantry because the $350K houses don’t have enough counter and cabinet space to store their single-use bullshit applicances. I wish I was kidding.
Also the same lady who “needs” the strawberry shaver for “cooking”, actually only uses it twice per year, goes out to eat 3 times per week, and gets DoorDash meals 3 additional times per week.
Hmm, good thing I drive an EV and live somewhere the electricity costs 15 cents / kWh.
A stainless steel no-date Rolex Submariner is probably one of the best “beater” watches money can buy. They’re pretty much bomb-proof, the auto movement is excellent, there’s no date window crystal to worry about scratching, and they’re waterproof to any reasonable depth.
If you want a very similar design dive watch with similar quality you could also get a Tudor (subsidiary of Rolex) and it would be cheaper than the Rolex. So that’s probably the “entry level” Swiss watch.
After the last Rebuild, didn’t Anno basically say something like “now that part of my life is over and I can finally stop thinking about it”?
That would indicate to me they are beating a dead horse, for the $$$.
A lot of people have payments that high and beyond because they bought more car than they could afford, saw a newer shinier one later, and rolled their loan/trade forward into an even worse situation. The amount of people with negative equity in a fucking car genuinely shocks me.
I’d buy that for a dollar!
I have the CMF Watch 2 pro, and can confirm mostly the same.
Price point is right where OP was looking to spend which is pretty cheap for a smartwatch.
It looks good for the price, machined aluminum bezel, should work with aftermarket bands etc. It works with GadgetBridge (initial pairing was kinda jank for me, but follow the provided directions and you’ll be fine).
Most of the basic features work and are supported with GadgetBridge- step counting, push notifications etc. Some more advanced features may not work. Also if you don’t use the official Nothing/CMF app you are stuck with the 5 or 6 default preloaded watch face designs, most of which kinda suck. Maybe someone has come up with a workaround for this since I last checked.
I guess because he has (mild spoiler) 3 total “guns”.
Stellantis is fucking trash. Imagine paying like $70K for a Jeep and then the manufacturer tells you to park it outside, away from your house, and don’t charge it. The fact they issued the recalls but don’t have a pathway to fix them yet is fucking wild.
One thing that is easy to overlook - use a high quality USB cable to connect the phone to your PC for web installation of the OS. There are many garbage-quality cables floating around out there that may charge a small accessory but could be lacking in the data transfer department.
Karl Jobst has done some good investigative journalism on the auction fraud and the “fractional ownership” trading platform scams.
Historically, auction houses and platforms are often using relationships with celebrities and influential people to artificially boost the prices. The platform provides the veneer of a neutral open-market sale. The celebrity provides the “credibility” of a rich buyer, justifying the record price on the game or collectable.
I’d say don’t take any retro game prices at face value, and understand your own local market before buying anything. You can list things for any price you want on eBay. Doesn’t mean the product is routinely trading at that price. Wata can list and claim a “sale” at a ridiculous price on their own platform, and currently there is no way to credibly verify that sale was to a real buyer, and not pre-arranged or fraudulent in some way designed to inflate the precieved value of the item.
Is he named after the band?
Who the fuck is buying Billy Jack on DVD in current year?
