I don’t have a WSJ subscription so I couldn’t read the article. One thing I haven’t seen discussed is being house trapped. If you purchased a house before everything got crazy and refinanced with a sub 3 interest rate you are effectively trapped in your house now. You would need to make so much more money to buy your same house now. It would be a stupid financial decision to move for a job. What you end up with a stupid long commutes.
I don’t know about your claim that they are inherently unsafe. With fixed wheels, three-wheelers are prone to tipping. I agree with that. With this model they are claiming that it “leans.” It makes sense to me with a clever enough suspension they could solve that issue.
That’s the huge take away here. The Chinese can’t comprehend that the DOD doesn’t have a social media control division. Yes we have the NSA and stuff spying, but they don’t control anything.
I don’t understand the 3 wheel hate. 2 wheel vehicles have a learning curve with counter-steering and require more engagement with driving. 4 wheels makes them huge. I don’t think this looks too dorky either.
I was a nuclear operator in the Navy. Here are the actual reasons:
There’s more but that’s just off the top of my head
As an OG DW fan I hope this isn’t a repeat of 9, but I’m not optimistic. “1 v 1000” and “realism” are two completely different things.
It’s always nice to see my shitty little hometown making national headlines for incompetence and bigotry.
A little background you won’t get from anywhere else about newberg:
It was a sleepy little town of about 15,000 in the Portland metro area. It had some decent jobs (it’s actually the dental equipment manufacture’s western hub). Over time the cost of living there has exploded. It is within commuting distance of Wilsonville (Oregon’s tech hub) and Hillsboro (Nike/Intel). It is wine country as well. The locals are getting priced out of the area. As expected, when people feel they are getting left behind by society they turn to conservatism. Now you see the results of that. Conservative grifters promised more than they could ever deliver and wasted needed resources fighting losing ideological battles.
It makes me sad :(
Yeah it’s more like, hey you just bought stabilizing jacks and a water hose for a travel trailer. You must have just bought a new camper. Let’s bombard you with add for stick-up-hooks, rv-mattress sized sheets, cheap plastic dishes, etc.
Literally my first job out of college. We were hybrid, and the amount you had to come in was based on your seniority. Most days it was just me on an empty floor. “Meeting” people was doing shitheads favors so they wouldn’t have to come in to the office.
In what world would it ever be ok for a Supreme Court justice to buy and sell individual stocks?
Uninvited visitors are the real world version of a pop up ad. They get zero consideration from me
Almost $80,000 per daily user?
I have a 2023 Honda ridgeline. The car play works but doesn’t work well. About 50% of the time I have to unplug and plug in my phone again. About 2% of the time I have to restart my car completely to get it to work (yes I’ve tried a different phone and a different cable). I will not buy another new Honda exclusively because of this. GM is so out of touch with how important CarPlay is to consumers.
The first step in “no longer relevant celebrity comes out as conservative to cling to the fringes of stardom.”
Same statement except he should say that it would be legal for him to kill 6 Supreme Court justices.
Judge shopping in Texas. Followed by an outrageously unconstitutional ruling. Then a 2 year wait for the Supreme Court to look at it. Sigh
I hope some idiots show up in MAGA hats and immediately get dismissed
“Data Considerations The data found on the Crime Data Explorer represents reported crime, and is not an exhaustive report of all crime that occurs. It’s important to consider the various factors that lead to crime activity and crime reporting in a community before interpreting the data. Without these considerations the available data can be deceiving. Factors to consider include population size and density, economic conditions, employment rates, prosecutorial, judicial, and correctional policies, administrative and investigative emphases of law enforcement, citizens’ attitudes toward crime and policing, and the effective strength of the police force.”
