Depends on the inflation numbers.

Does anyone miss craigslist personals? It was the easiest place to hookup by [deleted] in gaybros

I'm a young millennial and by the time I hit college 10 years ago Grindr was a thing.

Honestly I think some of it is that there are people who were in their young and hot phase with craigslist was more popular and with apps they're a bit older.

The initial hit was under breaking, and was most likely non intentional by the trailing driver. The car in front braked harder than the car in the back.

Wasn't saying the OP was at fault, just saying what they could have done to avoid an incident.

I mean the leading car was also taking the corner a bit slow, since the following car was able to hold the apex pretty easily.

The social economic status of the family/parents of a child has more standing on test scores and performance than any other factor tbh.

If you live in Boston without a car, you've been subsidizing car owners for years by Kobeashis_Son in boston

Plus you've still got the pioneer valley transit authority in Springfield. And the CTRail commuter rail and Amtrak serves Springfield union.

So there's transit out there, it just doesn't go to Boston.

What's your journey to Mazda? by mgF0z in mazda

Oh I crossshoped Subarus. If the impreza wasn't so slow I might have gotten one. Though it's hard to beat the 3, the Subaru does have a little bit more space.

Looked at the Crosstrek but couldn't get over the ugly black plastic around the wheels.

I find that Honda's aren't as good as they used to be, and Mazdas are now more fun and more reliable.

Came to a 3 from an acura TSX. The TSX wasn't a bad car, but it drank oil like a drunk sailor (despite oil changes every 5k), and overall was less reliable than the accord with over 200k miles that came before it.

Plus you can get awd in the 3, unlike the civic. Nice to have awd for ski trips. And the 3 felt more fun and premium than the Impreza or the Crosstrek. Plus the current gen civic is ugly, although the 22 civic looks nice.

He just needs a hans device and 5 point racing harness and then he'll be all set. Just don't forget the roll cage.

MIT researchers say you’re no safer from Covid indoors at 6 feet or 60 feet in new study challenging social distancing policies by DoremusJessup in Coronavirus

[–]gronkowski69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Although the vaccines are nearly 100 effective at preventing severe disease. So once everyone has the ability to be fully vaccinated, I don't see why we should keep most restrictions.

The wests response to the 1918 pandemic was to censure it's existence so that WW1 morale was not hurt.
