It doesn’t have to feel cheap and show fingerprints. I love the plastic on the back of my S21, it feels very premium and looks great

My S21 has a high quality plastic back and I LOVE it. Would have never guessed I would have before getting it

I owned one, it was a blast in the corners and it was rad that you could get a two seater six speed hybrid. The biggest let down though was how slow it was in a straight line. It was almost dangerously slow. A CR-Z Si with a K20 or K24 would have been amazing. They offered a dealer installed supercharger later in its life that got it to 200ish HP but it was too little too late.

Nice! I had a 1995 Accord coupe, a 2005 Accord coupe, and a 2015 Accord coupe. Loved those cars, amazing daily drivers that had a splash of fun and style. It’s truly a tragedy they discontinued it.

WRXs are rad, excellent choices! A friend of mine rented a Model 3 Performance and took me for a ride in it. The acceleration is absurd!

I think co-pilot works better because it has the context of the whole project for reference when suggesting auto completion. I’ve gotten a lot of unusable junk from it too though

I tried to lean into that as well, something like nothing matters so you can do whatever makes you happy! I couldn’t quiet get it to work for myself, but I know several very happy people living by that philosophy.

The koi pond + pets solution definitely sounds like the right move! Having pets during the pandemic kept me sane.

If you don’t mind me asking, what kind of fun car did you get and what are you thinking of getting? I’m a big car guy and love hearing about people’s cars :D

Yep, that lines up pretty well with my experience! Glad to know I have a kindred spirit, haha

I was dealing with some pretty intense nihilism after my beloved dog passed away. I had thoughts like “Why put effort into anything when in 100/1000/10000 years everything I love and care about will be dead, gone, and forgotten?” It’s a terrible philosophy to have and live with, incredibly depressing. I was able to escape mine through meditation with some chemical assistance. Realized that just because things don’t last forever doesn’t mean they don’t have meaning. The fact that we’re alive and conscious, experiencing things everyday, means our lives have value. The cosmic odds of us existing here and now are staggering, we’re so lucky to be alive! So, to me the value is in the experiences, in the day to day.

Does yours feel like an unwanted guest arriving in your consciousness? Like you feel it arrive before you even start having anxious thoughts?

You should look into the effects on causality of going faster than the speed of light. If you can send information faster than the speed of light all kinds of wacky paradoxes show their heads. I used to believe what you did, that with time and knowledge we could overcome the speed of light. But after learning more about our universe I don’t think that’s the case anymore. I enjoyed this video on the topic https://youtu.be/an0M-wcHw5A

Right there with you on the J series. I have a 1st gen TLX V6 and you can’t beat the smooth power delivery and reliability. I also have an F-Type V6 and while the supercharger means it makes more power the J series feels soooo much more refined

You should really do some more research. The federal government made false promises and deceived/abused the tribes involved in the forced removal. It was in no way an agreement made because “no one owned the land”

It’s possible to maximize and enjoy your outcome in a system while still opposing the atrocities that system did to your ancestors. I’m a Cherokee living in Oklahoma within the Cherokee Nation and we have to constantly fight to keep what rights we still have as a federally recognized sovereign nation. It’s not about “complaining and being miserable” it’s about holding onto our culture and doing the best we can to take care of our people. What the US government did to our ancestors still has ramifications and affects today. Native people are the poorest ethnic group in the US and a lot of it can be attributed to the treatment of our ancestors and the abuse that still occurs from state governments even today.

Jojo is the best about this. You see and stand and think “Wow, that is useless” and then later the same stand has you thinking “My god that stand is so busted”

Hey look, it’s me in the picture! What a waste of my 15 minutes of fame

Oh yeah, 100% agree. It’s insane it isn’t a top priority to me. I would have to imagine the powers that be have little to no interest in that kind of change. The world would be a much better place with ranked choice voting though, maybe someday!

As a Honda guy (and S2000 owner) the F20C/F22C gotta be in the hall of fame. A production, naturally-aspirated 2.0L four cylinder making 240HP and revving to 9K RPM in 1999 is bonkers! It set the world record for HP per liter from an NA engine at the time, and it took Ferrari to beat that record 10 YEARS LATER with the 458 Italia. And on top of all that, they’re bulletproof and can make massive power with stock internals and boost. What a marvel of engineering!

Oh yeah, K20 and K24 obviously belong on that list too :P

Ooooor we could push for ranked choice voting, haha
