The true road to enlightenment starts when you realize that SUVs just aren’t fit to haul your kids and your groceries, and that the only logical path forward is to buy a massive lifted truck that puts a Sherman tank to shame to drive your statistical 37 miles per day in some modicum of safety.

That attitude is being pushed by social media influencers, who are in turn (proven to be) on the payroll of the folks who want to return to a feudal misogynistic society. It’s not an organic belief.

I agree with you, but it’s just as incorrect to point at the near 50% support he got in the 2016 elections from the voting public and draw conclusions regarding the popularity of misogyny based on that number alone too.

If we assume that everyone who voted Trump in the 2016 elections were either okay with this or not offended enough not to vote for him, that percentage is actually more like 25-26% (He got about 63m votes in 2016 out of a voting eligible population of 243m). Still way too high if you ask me, but at least it’s not that bleak.

While I can’t speak for the female perspective personally, nor can I pretend to speak for all men, I find the perspective you are presenting to be quite the generalization. There’s a reason people were outraged about Trump’s “locker room talk” excuse for his remark about “grabbing women by the pussy”, it’s certainly not the societal standard for men to become misogynistic molesters when they are in a safe space.

It can now be preserved as the monument to hubris and inevitable failure it was.

That’s not just a burn, that’s a “ask for a rebate with the cremation”

Alright, that’s fair I guess. I can see it be gender neutral, I’m just used to it referring to guys. Plus, I like the way dudette sounds.

Dudette’s hard drive, let’s not misgender here. I hear they like that.

You know ANZ includes Australia right? Or do you want to add Antarctica and the US as well?

SAAB Automotive got killed by GM, resurrected by Spyker, subsequently killed again by debtors, resurrected again by Chinese investors who lost the rights to the brand, turned into NEVS (National Electric Vehicles Sweden), ran out of money again due to COVID, and has since been in “hibernation”/limbo. Most recently Stenhaga bought the remainder of the factory in Trollhättan, and EV Electra were considering to buy what’s left of the production models. That deal fell through and, last I heard of it, whatever is left of the NEVS were like 20 folks who got fired in 2024.

So yeah, to quote McCoy “He’s dead Jim”.

Amazing video, thanks for sharing.

Oh yes. TVR circa 1998 / speed 12 nonsense would be magical if they had the budget and freedom today that they did back then. I feel like a modern TVR would build something like a 4 motor EV with a manual transmission somehow. I’d be there for it honestly.

They were designed to do that on the regular. Especially Volvo’s polar editions were built to withstand just about any condition and kept simple and barebones for that reason.

Duesenberg. They made incredibly stylish and well engineered cars that were ahead of their time. I’d love to see a true competitor to Rolls Royce (Bentley doesn’t really compete with Rolls anymore. Sure they’re expensive luxury cars, but they aren’t anywhere near as bespoke as Rolls Royce cars are).

The Swedish Volvo died the day Ford took over, Geely is just there to trot around the remains.

Although, let’s be honest - Volvo had been on the verge of bankruptcy like three times before Ford bought them so it’s likely they would’ve died on their own too. Turns out making cars that are incredibly reliable is not a sustainable business model.

Found the Futurama fan.

This is the defrag I remember most. Back on a 286/386 it would really make a noticable difference in how fast files and programs would be found and loaded. From my Pentium-based Windows 95 machines and onwards I never noticed quite the same impact of defragging my drives.

It’s commonly used as a criticism of Obama to point out that his approval of drone strikes was significantly higher than any president before or since. This data point is a bit shaky however, because drone strikes weren’t nearly as prevalent during his predecessor’s terms as drones weren’t as technologically advanced as they were during his terms, and due to the fact that the Trump admin changed drone strike approval processes to no longer need presidential approval.
