You... don't? That was my point. A dock works fine, too, I guess.

Really poor equivocation re: 2-cyls. Engine performance and efficiency is one of the primary and critical aspects that define the ability effectively travel between places, which, again is the entire purpose of a car. Engine (drivetrain r

Sure, even that's a luxury, but cars already have a display for audio, and it makes sense to have an in-built nav system (would be great if you could simply select the mapping/nav software from a list like a: goog, b: apple, c: OS

Because it's another huge failure point of more software and significantly increases cost and complexity when the aerodynamic gains from no mirrors are negligible, especially considering the absolute monstrous size and brick like shape

IT. IS. A. CAR! It takes you from Point A to Point B! Nobody needs to watch TV in their car! Nobody needs subscription services for heated seats or 0.2s off your 0-60mph time! Nobody needs cameras replacing their sideview mirrors! Get rid o

Dude, what? First off, OpenBeta kinda sucks. It's slow, and honestly, has some pretty bizarre UX/UI decisions. MP is vastly more comprehensive and looking at my local areas it's clear he/she just scraped MP (or straight

> The problem is that most people want to go to a small number of very popular places. That is because they are the prettiest and most desirable destinations. This is unsurprising. People want to see Yosemite, not some barren nothingness

I once thought it would make more sense to have a calendar of 9 months of 8 weeks with 5 days per week (or 5wks * 8days) with a 5 day 'solstice period' at the end/beginning of every year (6 days every 4th year).

Ya know, I have a hard time finding sympathy for LSD users who have bad trips. I say this as someone who has quite enjoyed it in the past. People complaining about LSD, to me, sound like people complaining about being shot out of a cannon.

So... parasites. Burned sounds appropriate

The other comment covered my thoughts mostly. Ecology is important. But I can't eat Blackfoot daisy. Not all gardens are there for ecosystem health. Some are for utilitarian purposes.

Same for you! Interestingly, contrary to you, my wife and I only ever gardened for produce. Didn't turn out that well with poor soil and drainage, but we tried. Wishing we had the space for it again at our current residence. And, of co

> I sort of disagree with the article though. I think one should actually take a relatively hardline approach to planting only native plants. Just because you have a lot of activity around a plant doesn't mean it's the right ac

Really, I think it's just a consequence of living so long in what I consider an echo chamber. It's jarring to move back out of a huge, exceedingly left/liberal metro area into a much more politically mixed area. And yeah, as

This thread is an exercise in accepting disappointment in your fellow man.

Indeed. My wife, whom i consider relatively open-minded in today's society, is somewhat offput by the fact that I engage with and consider 'conservatives' friends. There is a pervasive and insidious association with disagreem

I'm just up the road in Flagstaff and the dark skies are absolutely one of my favorite parts of living here. Darkness is an underrated addition to quality of life.

I catch your drift on the common sense is just forgotten learning. That's probably closer to the truth than we'd all like to be told. Thing is, I don't think you've contradicted me re: too much confidence in your abiliti

I would like to say that I'm generally a pretty experienced outdoorsman. I camp, hike, backpack, snowshoe, boulder,sport climb, used to snowboard extensively and do whitewater rafting. I've summitted Mt. Washington, NH in late Oct

I find this disappointing. The world does not need alternative social media. Everything in our society is geared towards "Bigger, Faster, Broader === Better!". But it has completely ignored humanity and quality. The world needs le

I don't even know who you're referring to with RMS. Nor do I understand your point here.

Yeah, pretty much on the same page. Elon is... many things, almost none of them positive. I'm not going to support that type of person if I can help it. The e-tron is very nice looking. Haven't sat in one, yet. Personally, I'

I did literally mention their interiors. They're shit for the price range. I also disagree. I can choose to spend my money how I wish. There are plenty of serviceable vehicles and Tesla/Elon's anti-union stance is a perfectly

Long before his Twitter fiasco, I decided I would never purchase one of his vehicles. His looooong history, as noted in the article, with the SEC, OSHA, NLRB had permanently put me off Tesla. Much like Apple under Jobs, I dislike cults of p
