  • Even ignoring ev’s, you can option almost every minivan on the market with 300hp. Any modern hot hatch will drive circles around what would’ve been a supercar in the 90s, let alone the 60s. There’s plenty of things wrong with modern cars, but lack of power isn’t one of them.












  • Not sure why you’re being downvoted. Gaming PC’s are expensive and a luxury! It makes sense economically. With consoles there’s an incentive to sell hardware cheap to get people into the ecosystem. With the exception of the steamdeck, there’s no such incentive for PC’s: if the hardware is worth x amount, you can bet your ass you’ll have to pay at least that. Yeah games are generally cheaper on PC, but not by much, and the barrier to entry is much lower for consoles. Hell, the PC I just built from used parts and Amazon deals cost me $800 (not including accessories), and while the processor and ram is almost certainly better than the ps5’s, the graphics are about on par, if anything slightly worse. You can find used ps5’s for less than $400. Is there really a used PC out there that can touch that?

    I’ve never owned an auto, only manuals. But there’s been a couple times when I drove automatics for friends and family and accidently slammed my left foot into the floor or brake due to muscle memory. The pedals are close together in modern manual cars so you can heal toe, and automatic gas pedals are nearly always wider, because why wouldn’t they be?

    So yeah, not only do I believe op drives a manual, I bet they do it often enough that when they do drive an auto they have to consciously hold their left foot back. I know I have to. I’ve been using a clutch too long, my left foot just wants to go.







  • In general, I feel like the music streaming market is in much better shape than TV streaming. Price increases have been modest, there’s no fighting for exclusive streaming rights (that I’m aware of). I pirate all of my movies and shows, but Spotify’s alright, for me it’s worth paying. And even if it turned to shit tomorrow, Tidal and Apple music are pretty good too.
