Guinea is hard to find. Where in PA? That’s where I’m at but I haven’t heard of this place.

Climate change has been particularly unsettling this summer because it has felt like a constant reminder that it can’t be escaped. Even if you aren’t in Florida or Arizona or Greenland, even if you feel like you’re insulated up in Vermont or Canada – bam, 11 inches of rain in 24 hours.

I’m down! The more turn-based games the better. Final Fantasy tactics is one of the best games of all time

Fascinating. This is way more buttoned up and controlled than I thought it would be.

I like the concept of being able to talk openly about mens’ issues. That liberation name is unfortunate; in my opinion, it definitely sounds at least apologetic towards misogyny. What do we have to be liberated from?

First whole bean coffee? Oh man, welcome to the good stuff.

No matter what coffee purists tell you, the single best change to my daily coffee quality of life was simply going from ground to grinding fresh whole beans every morning. I will never go back.

Regarding the question of whether it’s stupid or not – how much would you be kicking yourself if one of your neighbors purchased it from you instead?

In my mind, any chance you get to increase your land and you buffer zone is an absolute positive.

What are your options? For example, I would rather daily an '89 Corolla over a '01 Kia.

What is your budget for maintenance? There will be nuisance items go like seals and gaskets due to age, even if the engine runs strong.

What is the price? For a car that’s almost 35 years old, it better be low.

If you have a low budget, don’t have a crazy commute, and can get a couple years out of this car for a couple grand, it could be exceptionally wise decision compared to a $600/mo car payment.

Yep. And it worked all the way up to the Stanford presidency. Even now he is “only” a tenured professor.

-Password crackdown

-Removal of Basic Plan

-Aggressive advertising to up-package

-Focus on 1-3 years of low-budget ‘reality’ TV

Yikes. Netflix is hellbent on extracting maximum revenue possible, regardless of how shitty their product gets in the meantime.

Quite a few. I grew up in a conservative, racist family. It took me a long time to unwind the problematic casual phrases I grew up with. I’m not proud of it, and I occasionally cringe looking backwards. I realize now the tremendous weight and damage those phrases could do. Now I just try to be better day by day, and to make sure I don’t perpetuate those damaging habits in my own children.

Looks great.

I typed something up but it looks like it didn’t post. I think we’re saying two different things.

I’m talking specifically about the design language that you don’t like. The EV9 and the new Sante Fe, the Santa Cruz, the hatch IONIQ5 and even the divisive IONIQ6. I love those designs. They feel unique and bold. I would put them among some of my favorite designs of major, non-exotic manufacturers. Clearly just personal opinion but I feel like they’ve put out hit after hit on design, compared to whatever the hell BMW is doing as an example.

I can’t really say anything about their engine design or internal components. I’m ignorant there. I’m saying I find myself intrigued by Hyundai in spite of their terrible track record because of the design language.

Hopefully not!

Setting aside much-deserved flak about the Theta II and the immobilizer, there is little-to-no argument that Hyundai has been consistently pumping out the best and most innovative designs in the large auto manufacturer space.

Good points. I guess I was thinking about it from the stereotypical “adult gamer with disposable income” perspective. Not those gamer’s kids.

It feels like the war has ground to a halt, where the only progress is in bodycount. Russia has failed to make meaningful advances lately, but Ukraine’s successes on the counteroffensive have also been extremely quiet.

You say “used to”. Has it been overfished?

Great question. A lot of government agencies consider Kentucky as part of the southeast, but I would say that culturally Kentucky falls squarely into Appalachia, along with West Virginia, Tennessee, western NC, southwestern Virginia, and southern Ohio. I would also say that Kentucky has a pretty wide metro/rural split, with Lexington and Berea being very different places.

I remain dumbfounded as to how Roblox got so big and is now publicly traded.
