[meme] I don't park on the road with the plebs
  • Then you definitely don't need 4wd. A front wheel drive performs perfectly well on snowy roads, awd if you're in an area with particularly nasty winters. But anyone who says they need a 4wd suv/truck because of snowy roads is either a shit driver or just plain full of it.

  • Range rovers are hardly offroad vehicles anymore. The Defender was the last truly offroad capable model but the latest iteration is just another soccer mom van for the moderately wealthy. My boss has one and it truly is a sad departure from the brands past.

  • Night-vision lenses so thin and light that we can all see in the dark
  • You're right, there is no capture or recording of light in this system. Electromagnetic metasurfaces directly alter the waveform of photons as they pass through. In this instance it directly converts infrared light into visible 550nm (green) light.

  • Amazon’s Fallout has been renewed for season 2
  • Amazing news! I was really worried they wouldn't get the tone of the fallout universe right in the show but they totally nailed it. From the props and locations to the soundtrack they really knocked it out of the park. I feel like the ending was a little meh, but I guess its just how they set it up for season 2.

  • What's a common occurrence in your hobby that you think shouldn't be?
  • I feel your pain, I'm a trans woman and cars and motorcycles have been my hobby since I was a teenager but I avoid most car meets like the plague. The import scene seems to be a lot better than the classic and muscle car scenes but there's still a fair bit of right-wing bs. I do find it hilarious when I roll up somewhere in my classic jeep and notice some maga chud oogling it, the look on their faces when I step out is priceless.

  • What’s the worst car you’ve ever driven?
  • They're terrible street cars but offroad there's really nothing more capable unless you plan to custom build a rig. If you want a smooth ride offroad it will be way to soft for on the road and vice versa. Jeeps from the factory are designed on a compromise between the two so they're not really good at either. The build quality on modern jeeps is absolutely terrible though and the majority of jeep owners never use them for what they're intended for so I generally agree with you. But ride in a jeep that's properly setup for strictly offroad driving and you'd be amazed.

  • White House looks to repeal funding bill provision that would keep US embassies from flying Pride flags
  • I realize the article is about the white house specifically pushing back, but my sentiment is directed more at the entire democratic party. They had control of House, Senate, and the Oval Office for 2 years and didn't seem to put much effort into protecting lgbt people. What I see is usually more posturing and virtue signalling coming from them. I want them to defend us with at least the ferocity republicans attack us. The right will seemingly stop at nothing to take our rights away and the Dems only ever put forth token efforts to save them. They need to wise up and start playing just as dirty as the right or we will continue our slide into fascism and us trans folk will be the first ones they send off to the gas chambers.

  • White House looks to repeal funding bill provision that would keep US embassies from flying Pride flags
  • I'd much rather they try and implement actual protections for LGBT+ Americans than just do this performative bs. I don't give a flying fuck if there are pride flags at our embassies. What I actually want is to be protected from losing my healthcare, housing, and general right to appear in public without fear of harassment. There are already several states I don't feel safe traveling to, and that is an absolute travesty in what is supposedly the "Land of Freedom". What a fucking joke.
