Good, just don’t let nestle have any of it. They don’t deserve it.

Subaru is likely high due to the Impreza WRX and the WRX STI models which are rockets.
Possibly also because the non-WRX Subarus stay on the road with elderly drivers longer too. They are the retired seniors’ car of choice in New England.
Interesting to see the lowest accident rates are seen in three marquees that no longer exist; Pontiac, Mercury, and Saturn.
This must be since the ones that have survived are still around because of careful owners.
It’s kinda funny because there is no point in him being on any Republican ballots in the first point. He’s sucking up to a bunch of racist voters who are never going to elect a POC, no matter how many fanciest promises he makes.
This would be similar me pulling out of the Tour de France because the leader was kicked out for doping. But I was competing on a Pennyfarthing.
My son just turned 6 and I was thinking of looking at the game (he really likes actual Lego, and his buddies are into Minecraft and Roblox), but another parent at a bday party a few weeks back asked if we played, and then warned my that I needed to keep a close eye on it, because the suggested games algo was pushing really sketch things to his daughter.
So I started looking and decided the shopping aspect was something I didn’t want to expose him to yet. But these revelations are making me glad we haven’t yet used it and never will.
The result of VHS’s open system still enabled porn to show up on it sooner. And that helped more dudes want to drop $1-2k on a VCR.
Beta_cam_ did live on as a TV video format, I used one in high school and our local cable access still ran on betacam S in the late 90s.
It was the same sized tape as Betamax, but ran at a much higher speed for better quality (more info per inch of tape), they even switched to digital at some point, but I’d move on to MiniDV in college by then.
Unless it was just urban legend, VHS supposedly won out over Betamax because there was more porn available. It was the first “killer app” and helped make early rental stores profitable.
And similar things happened with all forms of the internet: Gopher, BBS (though maybe less so, it was before my time and so bandwidth limited), Hotline, the original cam girls and blogs.
It’s just porn, all the way down. That’s why it’s called the oldest profession.
Tone-deaf is a nice way of saying sociopathic in this instance.
I hope they’re (somehow) more reliable that Nissan’s other offerings. Though since even Hyundai/Kia are having problems with batteries, I can’t imagine the Chinese EV are gonna be any safer.
The Director series DVDs are still one of my prized possessions. Cunningham, Michel Ghondry, Spike Jones, I miss the heyday of great videos (toss in the Brevia Colors and Honda Cogs ads of the same time period).
You mean these?
I posted these ones I found at the ski area I worked at 8 years ago. I wish they were a joke but some fucking moron had made these and used them on the trees in front of the lodge. In piles of snow too.
Specifically its co-creator was Jeff Atwood, who is also the writer of coding horror and recently posted a pretty good endorsement of Mastadon and other non-twitter services.
He was actually one of only a dozen or so people I followed on very early twitter, before losing interest in the bullshit on there by 2010 or so and moving to Reddit.
There would be more comfort in how dumb these people are if there weren’t such high odds for them getting into power again.
Also, here’s the actual NYT article via Archive.org, not the clippings with pointless remarks that OPs esquire article was.
