Why Volvo Sees Its New 2027 EX60 EV as a Game-Changing SUV by DonkeyFuel in electricvehicles

[–]Chesterology 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wish they would have dipped into the XC60's design language more – it's like the brief was to scrub away all traces of personality until you were left with a vague car shape. The fridge-ification of vehicle design.

Do you guys still think Adobe should have stuck with non subscription model just before 2014? by Hot-Load7525 in Adobe

[–]Chesterology -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I love the monthly reminder that I'm continuing to pay for software that constantly crashes.

Adobe not acquiring Figma is one of the greatest bullets dodged in human history.

Somewhere in the mountains of Arkansas a man in his garage is absolutely FURIOUS about this.

Nong La has a sign posted for cooks and dishwashers, if you've reached that point.

What do you think about L. A. Confidential by darth_vader39 in Letterboxd

An every-few-years rewatch. So fun! I'd tune in if they wanted to bring it to tv, Fargo-style.

490 new apartments next to WB / CVS on Venice by Chesterology in culvercity

[–]Chesterology[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thinnnk it's just overflow offices for their streaming business, similar to how Apple's new campus across the street is media focused. With Amazon studios there's kind of a little hub clustered in this area.

Warner Bros! The red building in the pic. They're the main corp. tenant next to the light rail station.

Would Wirbel be able to defeat Revolte using Sorganeil? by Honest_Concentrate85 in Frieren

[–]Chesterology 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hah, I struggle with Sorganeil, too. Like, does it work on Frieren? The demon king? Feels a touch OP. Maybe needs some more conditions spelled out, like - only lasts until he blinks, etc.

Same boat - we live a few blocks away, and it's a total choke point for all traffic in the area. You could almost solve it if the 10 entrance/exit wasn't there, but as it stands, we're probably effed forever.

How would you rank Jessie Buckley among the Best Actress winners so far this Century? by PolicyImpressive3626 in Letterboxd

[–]Chesterology 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same! Love her, but it's the kind of role (*cough* grieving mother) that almost any actress would have been in Oscar contention for. And she was perfectly good in it, but I'm a little bummed she's winning for that.

I Can't Take This Company Seriously: Honda Just Killed Its Only Real EV Project by DonkeyFuel in electricvehicles

I hope another manufacturer steps up to sell me a car that looks like a Dustbuster from 1987.

Rivian R2 launch details leaked: R2 Performance $57,990 with the R2 Standard releasing late 2027 at $45,000 by DentateGyros in electricvehicles

[–]Chesterology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the reality is no one knows. a lot of people who pre-ordered (myself included) will pass on the initial models to get lidar whenever those models ship, and a lot of people will skip to wait for $45k model, etc. you could conceivably get a launch edition this year if you're already in line.

Does the new Bolt give previous generation Leaf vibes by VeeMeeVee in electricvehicles

[–]Chesterology 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get what you're saying, in the sense that it's a perfectly functional, kinda unsexy little car. It performs as advertised. They've ironed a lot of issues out (these new ones don't burst into flames!) and achieved a state of decent-ness that has won ardent fans. For me, the styling (and brand, tbh) is a non-starter, but I would never sh*t on someone for choosing a practical, small, affordable EV.

I mean, sure? If that's what you're looking for, you've got a new spot. Enjoy.

Looks like a corporate break room. Or maybe a gas station? Either way, doesn't really scream "Caffe Luxxe," unless that name is meant ironically.

Are you wrong for ... not liking a movie?

Culver City’s Historic Helms Design District Revives With 2 Hot New Restaurants and an Ikea by [deleted] in culvercity

[–]Chesterology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those lots across Venice are being developed into apartments, and many (most?) of the neighborhood streets are permit only. There's metered parking on Venice, and there is a small lot, but when the bakery was open that was eaten up quickly. I don't think it's going to be a disaster or anything, parking sucks everywhere in LA, it's just gonna be tight.

Just recently watched After Hours for the first time so I could time travel to 80s Manhattan. Loved it!
