The person you’re replying too doesn’t know what they are talking about. Once you start moving around several thousands of dollars (10k?) they will always ask you so they can document it and report it to the IRS/FBI if necessary. In my experience, once you move around enough money to have to go to a banker’s desk verses a teller window they will want to know what’s going on.
It makes me very pleased to see factorio content on a Star Trek shitposting page. I’ll make my next engineer yellow and call him Le Forge.
Maybe a prime directive run where I never interact with the biters?
I have a ridgeline. I’m no way do I think I’m hot shit? I’m fact, I get shit for it not being a “real” truck. Odysseys have been on back order for years. You literally can’t buy one (this may have changed recently but that was a big part of why I ended up getting the ridgeline last year). I don’t understand your statement about how it’s not useful as a truck. I regularly have to move 4x8 sheet goods and it works just fine. When I was looking at cars, trucks, vans, and SUVs you’d be surprised at how many can’t do that. It’ll tow our family tent trailer, but not much else. It moves our family of 4 and dog. I don’t need all the seats a van provided. It has a little v6, not a hybrid like the mini van. Of course it won’t get the same fuel economy. Getting more than 20 mpg is pretty good for all the utility it provides. Also the top of the line “black” edition is 50k. I think starting msrp is 38k.
The ridgeline is a step in the right direction. It is the least amount a truck that a truck can be. Every ridgeline sold is an f150 that isn’t. You picked a weird thing to be mad at.
It won’t break the laws of physics. Scientists are going to increase the speed of light in 2208.
I challenge anyone who says sugar isn’t addictive to go a week without. No sugar. No sugar substitutes like fructose. I’ve done it. It is awful.
I’ve also done hard drugs. Quitting those are awful too.
The difference is that I haven’t done drugs in decades but I still have a pack of Oreos on my counter.
Make my own brown sugar oatmeal. The big tubes of plain instant oats are cheap. I add a spoonful of brown sugar and a dash of cinnamon. Saves about 50% off the packets. Not much, but it adds up if 2 people have oatmeal every morning.
All jokes aside, this is my favorite ST moment. I remember the first time I saw it and it resonated with me deeply. When data came to terms with the hackers and terrible Xfinity internet, I knew that I could too.
I never realized all this but it’s so true. I browse and comment until I’m caught up, then log off.
Wow
I remember a time when the Prius was head turning. It was the first “real” car to be a hybrid. That was interesting.
I would say that the Prius was never cool though.
I don’t have a WSJ subscription so I couldn’t read the article. One thing I haven’t seen discussed is being house trapped. If you purchased a house before everything got crazy and refinanced with a sub 3 interest rate you are effectively trapped in your house now. You would need to make so much more money to buy your same house now. It would be a stupid financial decision to move for a job. What you end up with a stupid long commutes.
