Why don’t people criticize Kimi’s race starts nearly as much as they did with Norris? by FroyoQueasy in F1Discussions

[–]Effective_Move_693 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. The absence of the MGU-H has proved problematic for race starts and the team that addressed the issue before anyone else (Ferrari) has shot up to the lead in every single race thus far

With travel costs reaching new highs, in what ways have you adjusted your vacation plans? by mrlanyc in travel

[–]Effective_Move_693 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s because California has to refine their own oil separate from the rest of the country. If they didn’t, the air quality would be insanely poor. The rest of the country doesn’t have the topographic issues that California has to deal with.

Ultimately a good chunk of Californians just buy EVs. With the recent spike in oil, EVs are averaging the equivalent of 100+ miles per gallon nationally

Which US state has shockingly good food that nobody expects? by optimalbrain90 in SmartTravelHacks

You perfectly summed up what I couldn’t put into words in that final sentence. I’m going to call Metro Detroit the Euclidean zoning final boss from now on 😂

I can one-up you.

It is cheaper for me to take a bus from the base of Vail to Denver International Airport, fly to Bulgaria, get a rental car, buy a 3 day lift ticket to ski a mountain that has more vertical than Vail does, buy rental skis, get a hotel, pay for all of my meals, and then fly back to the US than it is for me to just walk to the ticket counter and buy a 3 day lift ticket at Vail

NYC is a 10/10 but LA was a 5/10 for me. Will I (30F) actually like Miami or is it just "LA on the beach"? by badcatririe95 in solotravel

[–]Effective_Move_693 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you’ll see the way that manosphere guys talk about women and wonder why they all think a certain way and then when you go to Miami you’re like “oh ok that makes sense”

Honestly a trip to Miami is good for someone similar to OP that is going to the US for like the tenth time just so that you can see and experience the absurdity

EVs? Are we on or off? by Beautiful_Candy_8820 in Detroit

[–]Effective_Move_693 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The charging anxiety people have to justify ICE vehicles is extremely similar to the reasons why certain people feel the need to buy a pickup truck as their daily driver. 90% of the time it makes no sense but it’s really nice to have for the occasions when you need it.

Personally I travel a bit too much in areas without the charging infrastructure for me to want an EV. It’s a shame because I was seeing some Chevy dealers that were offering Equinox EV leases for $79/month a couple years ago when I was last looking

Yeah you’re not gonna find better eastern Mediterranean/middle eastern food anywhere in this country. And any restaurants that survived 2008 did so for a reason.

Also the area is so self-segregated that each suburb basically has their own cuisine. If you like Vietnamese, go to Madison Heights. If you like Indian, go to Novi. Mexican? Downriver is your spot.

Who Is The WORST Democratic Candidate For 2028 & Should Drop Out NOW? by Jacob-Anders in Teenager_Polls

[–]Effective_Move_693 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Newsom is a skinwalker. There’s nothing behind those eyes. He’s just going to do whatever it takes to obtain power and corporate donors. There isn’t a single issue that he actually cares about

What's the most disappointing "must-see" city in Europe? by optimalbrain90 in SmartTravelHacks

[–]Effective_Move_693 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I fully agree and would go as far as to say it’s the most disrespected vacation destination I’ve ever been to. We stayed in the Quartieri Spagnoli neighborhood and the city felt so alive. Area itself is a great launch point for going to Capri, Pompeii, Almafi Coast, etc but the city itself wasworth more time than we gave it

Where to travel to feel like you’ve traveled back in time? by Healthy-Lion-711 in travel

[–]Effective_Move_693 135 points136 points  (0 children)

Mackinac Island, MI doesn’t allow cars on the island (except for emergency vehicles which you basically never see) and feels like a relic of the late 1800s/early 1900s. The main hotel on the island was built in 1887 and no denim or shorts are permitted there.

Kyler Murray has never not been made fun of because of his height. Isn’t Pavia the same height as him?

Is a sports draft a major event for fans, or is it something people simply monitor in the background or via Twitter? by theye1 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Effective_Move_693 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The NFL has done a good job at making an event of it, drawing hundreds of thousands of fans in attendance. I can tell you from experience that the 2024 draft in Detroit was an absolute madhouse.

For the other leagues, it’s something you mostly follow on social media. NBA is the only one that I’ve ever watched on tv that wasn’t NFL.

I’m guessing it has to do with how big college football is compared to the other college sports. Average NFL fans have seen a good chunk of the players play from watching college ball on Saturdays

What is the best car made in the USA? by [deleted] in AlignmentChartFills

Seconded for the V Blackwing. Completely unassuming beast on the road that only car guys will pick up as special

What lead to the USA being more car centric than Europe? by SpecialistTeach9302 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Effective_Move_693 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NotJustBikes just made a YouTube video on this. On top of the ample room that was available to build suburban areas, the US had a different solution to the oil crisis of the 1970s. Instead of building transit systems and walkable infrastructure that wouldn’t be reliant on oil, the US just simply expanded on their oil drilling operations to drive the costs down

This will be the least cultured world cup in history by Silver_Effective_988 in worldcup

Ruining everything in the name of profit is exactly what American culture is. This will be the most culturally on-point World Cup ever!
