My thoughts exactly! Get the benefits of the electric powertrain (no gearing, instant torque), with the proven range-extension of the ICE generator.

They are not detached from reality. They just know that repeating a lie works to whitewash what they are systematically doing, and confuse enough people into inaction.

All well and good until we found out that Google updated the name before GNIS managed to do it. They went out of their way to score points as quickly as possible.

There was a good editorial cartoon recently in the Canadian Globe and Mail paper related to this: https://ibb.co/fdG9PtST

Well, he did get elected so...

Doesn't even matter who owns them. Reliability is consistently terrible and the vehicles are consistently nice to drive.

I heard that term about the Hyundai Santa Fe first. Now it's the Chinese manufacturers giving JLR competition.

Of course if you drive the actual vehicle back to back with a Land Rover, you'll find that looks or interior do not a Rover make. For now anyway.

Is this satire?

I'm not so sure that motorcycle emissions are much better than a car's, even if they do consume less gas. Cars have very complicated emissions systems and are under stricter regulations.

I've also never been able to get anywhere close to 3l/100km. As soon as you move onto bigger displacement bikes, you're looking at around 6l/100km, which is comparable to a hybrid car that weights 5-6 times what the bike does! It's far from an extremely efficient mode of transportation given the significantly reduced utility.

Regardless, ride as long as you enjoy it, or until you have to recalculate the amount of risk you can afford!

Exactly right. OP determines value differently than a mega corporation.

I was surprised cause I thought the Focus was fairly reliable.

Turned out the post was about an Escape. Title is wrong.

Must be viral if it says so in the title.

Sounds like an Ayreon song.

If they could remember they wouldn't keep making the same mistake multiple times. But I guess no danger of that.

I may be in the market for a new car soon, which I hope to keep for at least a decade, so this kind of thing bothers me. I don't want to buy something that's already years behind on efficiency.

I think that's the point - to discourage (certain) people from living there at all. Except it turns out people are capable of never-ending suffering and persevering through it.

You would think Israelis would already know this very well.

Grieving for a pet is totally a thing. Comparing its importance to that of a child might be taking it a little far. Nothing would compare to losing a child.

Been using Zoho for years with no issues. Both via the web interface and IMAP.

Putin is a traitor to Russia but there he is still, 25 years on with no end in sight. The public is too easy to manipulate.

A couple of tiny steps between the likes of Venezuela and Greenland and China though, eh?

> We're gonna need that cornea back.

Not exactly a sentence you would hope to hear...

This is ridiculous. A burger is a construct.

Sure, you can't call a veggie patty a beef patty, but how does the meat industry own the word burger?

So they sold their account to a fraudster who also moved into their old address? Sure, it's possible but now verging on the ridiculous.

They can use common sense for the refund. They are just choosing not to.

I thought about this too - own a small electric vehicle for 90% of the family needs and rent a bigger SUV when the need arises.

Until you do the math and realize that the 3-4 annual trips of multiple days would end up costing thousands of dollars in rental fees per year. Plus the usual inconveniences around renting.

Suddenly the math does not look so appealing.

My guess is Jerome Powell.

My wife was recently re-hired by a place she had previously left. The director who wanted her back was given a hard time by HR precisely because she had pointed out issues during her exit interview. She didn't feel like she was burning any bridges at the time.

You may have the best intentions but it doesn't mean the other side does. Lesson learned.

Especially on the Tesla he drives.

My last problem with pihole was that I had forgotten the root user password on the system I installed it on. Exactly because I had set it up and then literally forgotten it...

Only if you use them in conjunction with an HTML5 supercomputer. (Sorry, I couldn't resist with Nikola in the news again)

Been using opensuse for both my personal laptop and a server for many years now.

Still don't understand why it's not more popular.
