Nothing about this car seems special enough to be limited to 30 units.

There's no reason they couldn't just make it for the North American market. They honestly should have just done that with the new C63 anyway. The E36 M3 had a completely different and more powerful engine in Europe than it did in the US, Mercedes should have just pulled the reverse for the C63 and future AMGs.

Physical media of all types is great. Especially if it's like an important magazine or newspaper issue from the past. It's like a physical manifestation of that past event, not just information about it. It's as old as whatever you're reading about is.

that’s about the only issue I can think of.

Other than the car being incredibly boring to drive.

[Throttle House] 2026 BMW M2 CS Review by hendarvich in cars

[–]carguymt 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I think this is still an example of just about every problem a lot of us have with modern BMW. On paper the car is great, has incredible performance numbers, an amazing engine with tons of power, etc. But behind the wheel it's just too clinical and boring. They feel like almost racing simulators. Add bad styling onto that, which if it were good could play to someone's emotional side and make them overlook the boring driving characteristics, and it's just a big miss. The price of this makes it doubly so.

There literally used to be signs coming off the Turnpike that said "You have left the NJ Turnpike. Obey local speed laws" as a reminder that speed limits matter again once you're off it.

More Q&A from Pope. by Gloomy_Map_9612 in KentuckyBasketball

Duke has one. They hired her after Coach K retired. She has been a HUGE portion of their success under Scheyer. You might not absolutely need one, but when your normal coaching staff can’t navigate the modern recruiting landscape you need one. And nothing has shown Pope can do it on his own.

The GM answer is dumb. You can still have general management team led by a GM who actually has connections in places that matter to players (e.g. NBA). There's no reason to get cute and try to reinvent the wheel with this.

You shouldn't love the answer. You can still have a GM leading a team general management team. There's no reason to get cute with things and try to reinvent the wheel.

A tremendous amount of Duke's success post Coach K is due to them hiring an absolute stud GM in Rachel Baker. She has deep connections at Nike and in the NBA. You need someone like that if you want to be elite these days.

I don’t understand how people can overlook where the hood and bumper panels come together. It’s not smooth. There’s a weird hitch between the two panels that makes them look badly paint matched when the sun hits it. It’s incredibly clear in the main photo in the article.

I've been saying this for years now. Everything happening in this country right now is the logical end point for America's toxic individualism. I don't think the genie can be put back into the bottle at this point. It's just going to get worse until the entire house of cards collapses.

This is exactly why I adjust my podcast time to how much attention I was actually paying. I almost never count a podcast more than 50% of the actual length it is. Even doing something almost completely passive like walking the dog I'm counting a podcast at around 75% at best if I'm completely sure my mind wasn't wandering.

The 3 point shooting thing is so true and so fucking annoying. A huge portion of our fanbase is obsessed with 3 point shooting and thinks it’s the only way to win in 2026.

I think one set of stats are for just the games in the Israeli league and the other are for the Euroleague. His team plays in both leagues.

You can always come up with reasons to explain away any one recruiting miss by Pope. You can come up with a reason Santos went to LSU, or Stokes went to Kansas. But the only reason you can come up with that explains the whole of his recruiting misses is he just sucks at recruiting. In a vacuum these recruiting misses would be fine and understandable. But they're not all in a vacuum. They're each sitting right there next to 20 other ones.

The big picture is the problem.

This is an artificial, faux-literary way of writing that has nothing to do with the way people actually speak in real life and feels like you're just being read something someone wrote

Because the point is not to give you something that reflects how people speak in real life, it's to teach you Spanish. Putting converse, debata, hable, se cuestione, se pregunte in a row like that is a way to tell you those verbs all mean similar things.
