I would be very surprised if that is why Amazon chose those cities. Having worked there, they would have pulled demographic data to see how many new cars are sold each year and released in the highest volume cities with dealers willing to work with them.

Hard to say without going in, but the list price is still $1000 less.

lol, I looked at the cheapest Ioniq 5 in my area on Amazon and at the dealer’s website. $8500 cheaper directly from the dealer since they offer $7500 off for using their preferred lender. $1000 cheaper if you don’t use their lender

Nah, everything is filtered through a slight red filter

Oh, awesome! I’m glad you like it. It is one of my favorite quick games

GotY usually has pretty mass appeal. Metaphor is a pretty niche game, so I would be surprised if it got GotY most places

While that is true for some cars, not all cars, EV or ICE, are built equally. One of my previous cars got all the preventative maintainance, but it still started to break down constantly at 120k miles (Saab 9-5 if you’re curious). The issue is that while we have a lot of reliability data for ICE cars, there isn’t much for EVs. Ideally they would have higher reliability since they are relatively more simple, but at this point we do not have long term data.

Also, and this is an article problem, not a you problem, years owned is not as helpful as miles driven. Even in EVs, the slight degradation you see YoY could be amplified by driving 50k miles in a year.

Calico is great! Not sure if there is a digital version, but you would probably like Cascadia if you like Calico.

I don’t think that is what was going on here, though. They were saying TikTok and Facebook are both equally bad. You may not agree, but at no point did they say it was a good thing that China gets your data. They said it is bad that both China and the US get your data.

I realized I shoulda made that joke right after I hit post. I debating editing it, but decided to leave the setup. So thanks you!

Semi-related story. When I moved to Seattle I lived in a neighborhood that had reputation for drugs in the 90s and early 2000s. In my entire time living there, the only member of my family that was offered drugs was my dog. “Hey poochie, want some weed?” is still a refrain in our house. She would have taken it too. The robot dog drug dealer is like the flip side of that.

Air fryer in this case just refers to the convection oven setting on the stove. It’s not a standalone air fryer.

We have a lot of smart plugs that we use for plant timers. They are way more accurate than the old school notched wheel ones and we can set them to actual sunrise and sunset. They also can just be turned on and used like a switch if the internet goes out

Surprising, but if it works, great!

Doesn’t that defeat the convection? At least from the bottom

Dishwashers use a combination of enzymes (in the detergent) that breakdown food, heat, and abrasion to clean dishes. Don’t put anything nonstick in one unless you like Teflon poisoning or your nonstick items to be stick items. Steel is fine, and aluminum will oxidize and look bad, but will still work. I assume the basket isn’t plastic, so no worries there, but don’t put melamine in the dishwasher either.

Yeah, same. Still love the game and am going to play again for Ficmas.

I didn’t really have any kind of urgency based on the story, but I do think the story fell short of being a good story.

Spoiler warning: Satisfactory endgame and story

Oh, mind you I agree, no gods no kings. I just meant I’ll have to look into the Canadian system to see how much power they have. Like personal research, not “Hmm, wonder if it is good.” Sorry if that wasn’t clear, that was before coffee

Huh, I always thought the monarchy was a figurehead role in Canada’s government. Seems to me that should be an elected position, not one granted by birth, but that is just my first gut response. I’ll for sure have to look more into it, thanks for the answer.
