It's funny to me that as I read this post the text is #828282 and the background color is #F6F6EF, a contrast ratio of 2.23:1 failing the 4.5:1 ratio minimum in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).

Well said, but I would add that it seems reasonable if we take debt too far, it will indeed crumble. I'm not sure we didn't pass that point before the pandemic, and decision-making since has not helped.

Almost all cars have turbos, all have abs/airbags/cameras... even counting the seat foam & covers, wheels, door cars... how cheap do you think a vehicle safe and comfortable for humans can be? The average car has tons of movin

There are few cars I would want to buy in today's market. Cost cutting and price engineering is pervasive, even in extremely high-end cars.

Yes, but repair costs haven't gone down and the E30 will need maintenance and repair at $10k euro. Time without a car or an unreliable car also doesn't work for most working people these days.

My grandfather raised homing pigeons. He would put them in a cage in the back of his covered truck bed, we'd drive an hour into the mountains and he'd let them go while we ate lunch and then drove back home. The pigeons would almo

With so many GPS-tracked animals, I'm surprised we haven't heard more stories like this as animals learn and adapt.

I usually love this source, but this article seems like mostly fluff to me. Dating Apps lead to ... dates. AI can't help you there. And just like I can tell when the person responding to buy a car on Craigslist is a scammer or not with

I grew up with physical media, but do I miss it? Nah, not really. I get collecting and have some vintage stuff I enjoy, but physical media isn't one of them that hits me. When Vinyl was super hot, we tried it... it was great until you

Almost every post has a comment along these lines. I think at this point everyone on this site knows to keep an eye out for AI-assisted or AI-written articles, but do we need to comment on every post? After all, AI sounds like people. So it

Apple seems to have lost its way. I feel the only reason they still advertise Privacy is that they're stuck with it at this point, or they'd be another Samsung or Google. I miss the world when Apple had a point of view and vision

Xbox seems to be happy being an "app store" with a monthly fee to access stuff. I guess easy subscription money is more enticing than hard work of making hardware and good accessories.

Yes, Mac OS X not only looked like Kai's Photo Goo when it came out, it felt about as responsive. I had a B&W '030 NeXTStation and it took 5+ minutes to boot and a long time to launch apps, I wish I'd had a turbo!
