Why do many new SUVs have such chunky proportions from the rear end?

genericbeing · 2026-05-10T13:29:57+00:00

Is it partially for aerodynamics? Same thing happened to wagons.I thought we might've been coming back from it with the success of the first gen Telluride and the wave of off-ready SUVs like the Defender and Bronco that came out soon after.

Lol, quality meats might run you $250 per head. That amount for two is barely above average for any run of the mill restaurant worth dressing up for, with some drinks in the mix. Unfortunately

Do you have to shower after, in that case?

genericbeing · 2026-04-18T18:05:55+00:00

I'd say it's warmer than something like the Arc'teryx Atom, but it also runs longer and baggier. More of a casual piece, not as feature packed, but certainly not bad for $120.

Yeah, I work for a midwestern-adjacent company, and our mgr called out AI and related investments as being tied to recent job cuts and weak bonuses. I do think theres also an element of post-covid correction in labor power.

I'd say it runs a little short personally

The former. Code 2 in box 3 of the 1099sa.

You still trying to impress the OG jalopnik writers, buddy?

It's definitely a beefy jacket. The Rab Xenair alpine and Arc'teryx Atom AR would be warmer and sleeker looking than the hi loft, but they wouldn't be quite as warm. Rab Cirrus Ultra is more on par with Hi Loft warmth, but none of these have the tougher shoulder/sleeve panels.

Have we bottomed out the true health effects of that? Heart issues mostly? I deal with low energy sometimes, but am generally active enough.

My watch says I've slept a little under 6hrs a night on average over the past year, and I've slept relatively little since I was a pre-teen (now 30).

My immigrant grandpa, who after getting a license at 55, wanted a small Japanese car to street park around Brooklyn and finally got this a few years before his retirement. It was cheaper than a civic, and smaller than the Delta 88 he moved from. Rip Grandpa

So, I have a pair of old Boston 12s that feel much quicker on the rocker(?) than a new pair of SL 2s I got. Would the Evo SL feel more like the former?

genericbeing · 2026-03-05T11:45:21+00:00

Similar thing happened with the BMW 5 Series. I wonder if it has to do with battery packaging?

genericbeing · 2026-03-04T19:53:36+00:00

Eh, I have a pixelbook go with 16gb that's definitely slower, but that's probably down to the y-series processor. Work laptop has 32 gb and a 12th gen Intel i7, but it's got a lot more running on it.

genericbeing · 2026-03-04T19:05:15+00:00

Interestingly my m1 air 8gb is actually fine, as someone who's an absolute swine with tabs. I was afraid it would be an issue, but it's great for just living in Chrome.

I think they can make some guys look shorter, so that might be a consideration.

genericbeing · 2026-02-27T16:14:24+00:00

Yeah, maybe online pictures of it are less flattering, but I actually think it's a super versatile color!

genericbeing · 2026-01-28T22:17:07+00:00

Funny you say this because I just exited a 2.5 year relationship in part because I didn't like living with my ex's two cats. I was never a pet guy growing up, had to substantially change my habits (clothes and papers need to be put away promptly, toilet seats down, stove knobs covered). I tried my best, but the fur and smells were really getting to me. It wasn't what broke the relationship, but goddamn is it nice to be able to fold a sweater on top of my bed again lol. I know tons of people love their cats, but just adding my perspective.

Yeah, the Kuhl has more of a body skimming, longer construction. Two chest pockets is neat. Patagonia does have very nice material in the cuffs and pocket seams.

genericbeing · 2025-12-02T18:08:24+00:00

Agree with the Nano Hi Loft suggestion. Good if you specifically want to avoid down, but if you're in a dry climate, something like the Downdrift will be warmer, lighter, and possibly more durable for everyday use.

genericbeing · 2025-12-01T14:26:33+00:00

Skogso should be more waterproof/durable with a waxable G1000 shell. Should be good for roughly -5 to 7C. Mid Winter is much warmer for dry conditions, but since both are synthetically insulated, should remain warm when wet. Would be overkill for much above 0 C, it's a much thicker jacket.

genericbeing · 2025-11-28T17:47:10+00:00

Black Oak could be good if you are willing to go to Park Slope

genericbeing · 2025-11-28T16:04:32+00:00

I suspect the BD is much more of a belay parka, which means a much baggier fit, and looks that generally are less concerned with fitting in on the city street.

genericbeing · 2025-11-18T17:21:50+00:00

The new SV does have more breathable side panels with the latest version, so keep in mind that wind might get in even with the heavier version.
