  • Eh, not really. For context, I switched from a hybrid manual to an EV last year. The EV, despite being more expensive, 8 years newer, and much more sporty (in terms of design and marketing) is not nearly as much fun IMHO. If you want a fun car, get a little coupe or hatchback with a manual, doesn’t even need a lot of power. If you just want to go fast in a straight line, get an EV.

    EVs are even better - you’re fully in control of the power

    Nope. You put your foot on the pedal, and the computer decides how fast you want to go. Put your foot on the brake, and the computer decides how hard you want to brake. All your controls are filtered through the computer. If the computer and I disagree, the only thing I can do is push my brake to floor, which engages the physical brakes using a traditional brake boost system, and fight the power steering motor for control of the front wheels, since there is a physical connection there.

    In a manual, your control of the engine is much more direct (although mine did have throttle by wire), as well as your control of the transmission and brakes (when compared to an EV).

    Honestly, if my wife did not absolutely dog on my CRZ for years, I wouldn’t have switched (yet). That being said I do like having a car she can drive and I can “fuel” it up just by plugging it into a standard wall outlet.



  • I think the author’s are being cautious about calling out someone’s appearance. It can be hard to determine if a plastic surgery did happen, and if it was purely cosmetic.

    Like if you look at her now, she clearly has a difference nose (more noticeable in more recent photos), but writing “Kristi had a nose job to look more like Ivanka” lands the wrong way if you can’t prove that she actually had a nose job, and that it was for that reason. Imagine how bad your ass would get sued if she actually had a cyst or melanoma on her nose, and had to have it removed and then get reconstructive surgery?














  • Yes, he knows he cheats at golf. Other players have observed it and commented on it numerous times in the past.

    Here the thing… Golf is a sport you play against yourself. Nothing another player does can impact your score. It’s a game of precision, consistency, and dedication. At the end of the day, nobody really gives a fuck about what your score was except you. You play to improve yourself. Cheating at golf is cheating at self improvement. Pun intended, Trump cheating at golf is par for the course, and it neatly sums up everything wrong with his personality.
