Little known fact: when you have a PhD you're required to use a lot of words when you tell people you're an idiot.

Also, death recorded. If you don't know what that's referencing, look it up

Bingo. I think John Oliver had a segment on this last year using Schumer as the example.

They won't have the numbers to occupy the nation and force everyone to comply, and that's why they're engaged in such an aggressive show of force. They're hoping we all get cowed into submission and do their work of suppression ourselves.

Once again, no.

The mantra remains "fuck you, make me."

Sucks where you live. We've got roundabouts everywhere, amazing twisty back roads, and almost no straight roads anywhere. I enjoy cornering speeds every time I get in my car. I'll say it again: 0-60 obsessions are for boneheads who aren't driving enthusiasts, and two-pedal cars are snoozefest boring

It's not just GM though. Literally every car company takes and sells data from every car they've built in the last 10-15 years, and most manufacturers give you no means of opting out.

People who care about 0-60 times are not car people. Sustained speed through a corner is the true thrill of driving, and doesn't require a fast car, but it does require a skilled driver. Any bonehead can mash a gas pedal in a straight line. Also I refuse to drive any car that only has two pedals.

If you turn your phone off there will be no data sharing.

You can turn your phone off. You can't turn off the data stream that most modern cars are sending to the manufacturer/insurer/data mining companies

It's when you own a thing (stocks, cars, etc) and its value increases. You haven't sold it but it's worth more than you paid (unrealized). Once sold, the gain amount is locked in (realized). Im just unclear how you tax a thing whose value is hypothetical. It only has a real numerical value when sold

It isnt just people lying. There's an entire segment of the social media population that isn't real people. I mean just look at the whole Cracker Barrel logo fiasco. That outrage was driven by bots. The fact that we're allowing politics and culture to be beholden to non-humans is terrifying

People who use phrases like "North Star" make me 🤮

This looks like the before and after of a house fire

Yep, I've owned a fair number of cars over the years, and never owned anything newer than 2005, and don't plan to. Also, manual transmissions only for the rest of my life as long as my left leg works!

The wheels detach from the column for cockpit access. They're not round because it gives you better control to hold a straight handle vs a curved one at 200mph

Chains can break. They can also stretch. And if they stretch enough, they can really throw things out of whack. Ask anyone who's owned a 98 or later Porsche with a flat 6- it's a real concern. Or a 1st or 2nd gen Mini Cooper, a car with documented engine failures from failed timing chains.

That can be true for any steering wheel. There's a reason racing drivers are taught to let go of the wheel if they can't avoid a crash

Hey if that's the hill you want to die on, I won't stop you man 😆
