Is a truck an unnecessarily tall vehicle or is replacing sedans with taller hatchbacks we pretend are SUVs an unnecessarily tall vehicle? Because one is tall for a reason and the other is tall purely due to consumer preference.

It’s honestly a lot more practical than people seem to think. And if electric trucks hold their value anything like ICE trucks, getting one with a tax credit at about $40k for the base model is probably the best deal in a new vehicle you ca

I’m about as “casual” of a user as possible and it’s still much less that I might theoretically need these things someday and more that I do need them, occasionally. For myself or for friends + family.

I own an F150 I use primarily for commuting but it also has a comfortable ride, >20 highway mpg, good visibility, utility for when I need to move furniture etc, and it’s relatively affordable and holds its value . Trucks depreciate slow

Yeah this sounds more like a crazy anecdote to me. I once had a new CTO come in at a place I’d been working at for about a year and a half, and he refused to interview any candidates that weren’t Muslim (as existing staff were replaced 1 at

F150 Lightning being unveiled in a couple days is a good example of this. The F150 is the most popular vehicle in America & this has a good chance at being a pretty big success.

This is an obvious and simple explanation yes but I think it’s only part of the story. CPI numbers are brought down by considering a lot of non-essential goods while almost everything you actually need — food, shelter, healthcare in parti

On average rents have doubled since 2006, but yes this varies from place to place. Not just in big cities though, it’s been in both cities & rural areas around me in Ohio as an example.

Somehow everyone seems has this experience, rents have continued to climb at a high rate for the last decade, and they manage to downplay this in statistics.

Viable technically yes. Someone I’ve been following for a few years was a under 1k viewers on Twitch with a decent but niche YouTube audience when he went full time and now he’s doing very well & building a house with money earned alm

The implication seemed to be that it was somehow unreasonable to either see big tech as evil (which imo it often is) and suggested that they were somehow less politically influential or protected than local taxi businesses. In my opinion th

Isn’t the simpler answer here that things just got about as thin as they reasonably could without there being anything to gain from it?

Covid had a lot more to do with it. Mac is at an all time high yes but the last iteration of Intel MBPs was only slightly different from what we had while Ive was still around, and Mac is still a relative small % of overall revenue which ha

Why would it have to be exclusively? That doesn’t even make any sense, nothing works that way. There’s still a HUGE overlap. Regardless, if you actually quantify it over time, there is a sharp uptick in discussion of race and identity polit

I’m in no way a medical expert but probably the fentanyl, or a combination of that & panic.

There is an argument being made by many on the right that the overdose was his actual cause of death because he spoke of not being able to breath etc before he was restrained & had a large amount of fentanyl in his system. That being sa

I know I am very pessimistic on this but I honestly believe if someone started to succeed in doing this the political & economic establishment would crush them by any means necessary.

How would it be entitlement for me to do this but not for my boss to expect me to work my ass off for a small share of the profit he’ll get for my work? Hell, in most cases I won’t even get credit for what I did, my manager will! Especially
