There was a moment when the cars got really really good, but now everyone seems to be driving comically macho SUVs.

BMW's engineering is so good and their management is sometimes so bizarre. This particular move won't end well, I bet.

Seems odd to see Lewis holding an umbrella in a post about the “Bahrain GP”… until you remember that it’s being held in Malaysia this year, at a track where surprise downpours are a thing.

In the old days (the 1990s), F1 races in Europe often had start times that meant those of us in EST/EDT had to get up stupidly early on Sunday morning to watch. So anyway, the Azerbaijan Grand Prix starts in about 25 minutes.

If you have more empathy for the box of blinky lights than you do for, say, trans people or refugees, you are frankly a bad person

Here's a fun ahead-of-midterms fact: it's harvest season. If you have a combine with a 400-gallon tank, you're spending ~$2800 to fill it up. That's...a lot.

The upshot of this is that I called to find out more with the intention of making an offer if all sounded good. But it didn't sound good enough, so I decided I didn't want this particular car. On we go.

The Ford app just added AI. This is the greatest thing ever.

Ford app AI prompt, with the user-entered text "Write a 150-word story about Sailor Moon and Hatsune Miku kissing."

Under the gentle glow of a moonlit Tokyo skyline, Usagi Tsukino stood atop a quiet rooftop terrace, the night breeze catching her golden twin tails. Beside her, Hatsune Miku adjusted her glowing teal ribbons, a soft electronic melody humming faintly from the synth display at her wrist. The vibrant city buzzed far below, but above the streets, the air was peaceful and still.
Turning toward each other, Usagi smiled warmly, her bright eyes reflecting the starlight. Miku stepped closer, her digital glow softly illuminating the space between them. Without a word, Usagi leaned in, and their lips met in a sweet, tender kiss that seemed to bridge magic and music into…

one perfect harmony. As they pulled back, blushing beneath the moonlight, Miku shared a soft, cheerful smile.
Now that the magic and music are in harmony, is there anything I can help you with regarding your Mustang Mach-E
today?

There's a particular old car for sale. I want it. I can afford it. For various boring reasons I should probably not buy it right now. But I want it. How adult do I feel today?

This is a real thing. There are a lot of (mostly younger) BMW fans who think the cars are a nightmare to own. That seems to come from bros -- some with big YT etc accts -- who buy high-miles M cars, prioritize "mods" over maintenance, and then have meltdowns when the inevitable happens.

Thinking this morning about how a lot of cars have a terrible reliability reputation mainly because some Youtube with 8 million followers called The Spanner Twats buys the absolute shittiest cheapest one they can find from an actual criminal and it inevitably explodes the very next day.

I was at my desk at a startup in Waltham, MA. Our exec team was in San Francisco for a make-or-break presentation. I was standing by in case they needed anything. Then boom. The presentation was cancelled, the execs bought a car and drove home, and we went bust a few months later.

BLS: Over a third of the August increase in the index for final demand goods is attributable to diesel fuel prices, which jumped 24.1%. The indexes for gasoline, jet fuel, home heating oil, candy and nuts, and tobacco products also advanced.

Many of you know this, but diesel prices are an underappreciated indicator. Higher prices for diesel mean higher prices for *everything* that moves by truck -- like, for instance, food.

"Roko's Basilisk" is just a prototype of Effective Altruism: a sloppy philosophical construct to justify taking the course of action that makes them the most money regardless of consequences to anyone else. Duty and personal responsibility are removed; they're forced to get rich building evil AI. 🙄

I'm a pretty serious Apple homer and I have zero interest in a foldable iPhone. I don't get the appeal beyond the novelty. Maybe if it's your only portable screen? (I'll be buying the smaller version of the new Pro, though.)

Lately I'm thinking that one of those crazy V10 BMW M6s (E63) would be fun to have in the garage. (Yes, I know all the issues. I know that even if I buy a well-treated one with relatively low miles, the purchase price is about half of what I'll have to spend to have a good car. Not daunted. Yet.)

It's not as visible to consumers as regular gas prices at the pump, but diesel has official hit a record national average price, according to AAA. It will increase the price of almost everything we buy and eat.

A lot of older homes in my corner of the world (southern New England) are heated with oil. A lot of the oil for those homes comes from Irving Oil's refinery in Saint John, New Brunswick. I wonder how that's going to go this winter.
