Cool, cool, cool - Jim Jordan, too, right?

If you're going to hit a limb, leg is preferable to arm. Mobility is going to be greatly reduced without a shin. I imagine groin would be similar, what with the whole pelvis thing.

"Crossover" was essentially "minivan without sliding doors."

4x4 generally means "you have a second gear selector to choose 2wd or 4wd Hi or 4wd Lo," whether that selector is a mechanical lever or a switch.

"Full time 4wd" and AWD mean that the car is always driving all four wheels, there is no selector to switch to 2wd, and usually with the primary being front wheel drive, with a teeny driveshaft sending a small percentage of the power (like 20% or 30%) to the rear wheels (though that may change based on traction control sensor inputs).

I apologize for the length of the previous sentence.

You've unilaterally decided that "AN SUV MUST BE BODY ON FRAME!" and that's just not the case.

Someone early on in the process made a typo in a form somewhere, then:

I get paid to process orders, not proofread I get paid to manufacture the sign, not proofread I get paid to package the sign for shipping, not proofread I get paid to put the sign up, not proofread

And good for all of them, they're right. Quality control should be paid for, and if you're not being paid to do quality control, don't fucking do it.

I hope you come out of the other side of that, and I'll bring you a pizza myself.

Plenty of large SUVs are unibody.

In this specific example, I believe the driver buckled the child, closed the door, then was unable to open any door before starting the vehicle. Is it possible to either start the vehicle or at least turn on the climate control from outside? If not, this was a horribly dangerous situation.

Intentional.

Pushes early and more treatable health concerns into later, less treatable, and more expensive concerns.

For profit healthcare operates even against its own interests.

Facebook started in 2004 as a platform only available to college students (who would have mainly been born after 1982). After it was opened up to the general public in 2006, its userbase remained pretty young for a number of years.

The majority of crackpots on Facebook today are not boomers. They probably grew up in the 1990s or after.

The car’s owner, Renee Sanchez, was taking her granddaughter to the zoo, but after loading the child in the Model Y, she closed the door and wasn’t able to open it again. “My phone key wouldn’t open it,” Sanchez said in an interview with Arizona’s Family. “My car key wouldn’t open it.” She called emergency services, and firefighters were dispatched to help.

Just so nobody thinks someone left a kid in the car and then went into a store or something. Tesla should be paying for the broken window repair at the very least.

The answer to our wealth disparity is to put power in the hands of the average person.

Pay people to vote.

I worked at car dealers in the late 1990s. Even then, when the power went out occasionally, and we had to revert to pen and paper, it was a fucking nightmare. I cannot imagine the hand-wringing that went on with the same situation in 2024.

If your socio-policital point requires the infringement of someone’s rights, I’m immediately inclined to disagree with you.

When the brain is evolved to recognize immediate and present dangers and react to them, an absence of those dangers (which is true for most of us, most of the time) means that "something is wrong."

Injecting pseudo-dangers, or purposefully placing oneself in actual danger, closes the "danger gap."

The "billionairre" "needs" your money in order for the "billionairre" to "have more money." QED

Palestine being a wholly recognized nation with borders would make it so much easier for the world community to use its leverage on both Israel and Palestine for any of their shenanigans. As it stands now, it’s still arguably “an internal conflict.”

That’s a lot different from “attacking a sovereign nation.”

I don't know why people buy shampoo when real poo is free.

Exactly. This is the best I’ve got. I could be so much worse.
