OK, I'm picking nits.

Sometimes I wake up and start doing new science. But usually I just roll over and go back to sleep.

Nissan and Mitsu are far from the only ones using CVTs, and CVTs they aren't are reliable or enjoyable to drive as traditional automatics.

And I'm not sure why you single out Mitsubishi. The Outlander is a great car, it handles great, and I say this as an owner of an Evo X as my only car.

The point remains is that all the gadgetry manufacturers are putting into their engines and transmissions, and all the plastic parts and 0 weight oils and "lifetime fluids" mean that your car is much more disposable than any time in history.

And often times, when you do find a manual transmission, it's a crappy toy-like experience, like on the last manual Accord. Then no enthusiast buys it, and manufacturers use that as proof no one wants them any more.

Slight reliability advantage? Entire makes of cars are consigned to the "never buy" pile because of the CVT they use. I loved the Outlander, would never own a CVT one.

I bet it would be fun to be an owner of one of those, can't sell a non-running car, have to spend the few grand on a new transmission.

Very much untrue.

He's creating a "middle class" - they will get the info after the regular insiders, but before hoi polloi.

He should have thought of selling multiple levels of higher tiers.

For a small fee you can get your bullshit before everyone else.

I should have added:

"In general, renaming things does not fix a problem."

Though heaven knows, lots of stupid people try it.

Why not just discard the whole idea of DST instead of putting it into permanent effect?

The whole concept is an attempt to redefine time as a way of addressing perceived social problems. Schedule activities around the clock, not the clock around activities.

Not surprised that someone exploited a vulnerability, but surprised that deployed military personnel are allowed to use civilian communication systems.

I'm having a bit of trouble working up any sympathy, as the saying goes.

The FSB is certainly getting a good ROI on their investment in Trump.

AI is so smart that it can hallucinate without even having to take drugs.

Undoubtedly the origin of the Hobbit-steals-dragons-treasure meme.
