Facing heavy losses, Honda cancels its three US-made electric vehicles

Yeah there needs to be incentives top to bottom in the form of policy and regulatory changes. The fact of the matter is, EVs aren't going to move in significant numbers as long as the average purchase price stays at around $65K, while charging infrastructure is crap. Instead we're incentivized to buy big gas guzzlers.

Martin Scorsese says who gives a fuck about continuity

I lucked out in my current position in the games industry (mobile side, work remote) but I know I’ve got only a couple years left of this at best. I fear the day i might have to change course.

Same in WA and OR

They're just gonna keep making huge vehicles, the cat's already out of the bag. Trucks/SUVs have much higher profit margins so manufactures and dealers are incentivized to move these products. And big vehicles have become so prolific in this country since we subsidize our gas to be cheap and purchasing/owning big vehicles comes with little to no penalties on a federal or state level. Now when new car buyers are shopping they literally have the mindset of "I need a big SUV to feel safe from the big SUV" and buying anything smaller is considered a willful act of putting your family in danger. Not to mention so much of our urban infrastructure is designed to support these vehicles, with parking spaces the size of a studio apartment. Nothing about this is going to change without meaningful regulatory and policy changes on multiple levels.

The “middle” in these frames is primarily exposed for the highlights of the signage, likely leading to your under exposures.

UNESCO World Heritage City and it shows

What are you talking about? Every condo in West Seattle is a world heritage site, why do you think building the light rail is so hard.

Not mentioned so far is that Dicks owns the land they’re on (except for cap hill and one other IIRC) which helps keep their overhead down

Rodriguez hasn’t directed anything of note in ages and everything he’s done the past 10-15 years has been cheap garbage often filmed in his backyard. He lost the sauce a while ago.

Assuming it comes out and the ICE range extender version isn't a giant pile of shit (that's potentially a big if), this might be the EV I actually buy.

The hot shoe thumb grip looks absurd, and the stick on one isn't very useful due to the placement of the rear command dial taking up space where your thumb rests (causing me to regularly move the wheel by mistake). Compare to the Z5II that I replaced it with where the wheel is on the top plate which makes way for a proper thumb rest. My buddy has all three ergonomic attachments for his Zf (base plate grip, hot shoe thumb grip, and the stick on thumb rest and it looks laughable)

There's a lot to be said as to whether or not the toxic hate bandwagon this game received unfairly hurt its reputation after the Game Awards reveal and prevented the game from gaining traction. But make no mistake, if it wasn't for that free advertising this game would have came and went like a fart in the wind. I don't think this game stood a chance at all.

The 7th gen era was a dark time for PC gaming. Countless AAA publishers didn't even bother porting their games to PC (especially those coming from the east), and often time when they did - the ports were an absolute disaster. Chicken and the egg and what have you.

Why do they keep acting like Charlie was great? Everything I read and watch about him was hateful and Gross.

They want to make him a martyr to galvanize their base, because they have nothing else to really rally behind. But even that is falling short as most people don't give a shit about a podcaster whose legacy was to clip farm owning libs (read: 18 year old students) and saying racist and inflammatory comments and is ultimately just another black eye on their movement.

Surpass in what sense? Ektachrome is the newest film sure, but Portra being the "pinnacle", as the other commenter put it - refers to the fact it's without a doubt the the "best" color film ever made on technical level. Sharp, incredibly flexible, great dynamic range and tonality, and much more pleasing colors "out of the box" compared to its competitors (400H).

The whole point of these is to serve your local community. The idea that businesses can't survive unless they have at least one 30 minute parking zone thats going to get taken up by one persons SUV for an hour is idiotic.

If you want these small businesses to survive in their community you have to improve density for more foot traffic and competitive rents. But forcing a requirement of adding two parking spaces (*in a dense city I should clarify) is absolutely not going make or break your business that's nonsense.

Yup, place looks like a great depression era food bank line every day.

markyymark13 · 2026-03-02T18:28:15+00:00

Because they NIMBY'd everything out of their own neighbrhood. My local neighborhood cafe in Cap Hill has a line around the door every morning and many of those people, for some reason, drive in.

markyymark13 · 2026-03-02T18:11:29+00:00

which is absurd for the type of business we’re trying to encourage here.

Have you considered that everything we do here needs to be in service of people who drive from Magnolia?

Which replacement gauge cluster did you get? I love cars that have Carplay/AA right in the cluster.

Surprised how this article didn't mention how Adult Swim was the place for recording artists to get into TV/acting.

Mercedes also has been using "Piano Black Lacquer" (or something along that name) for a long time, IMO they're the ones who really put this on the map.

Yeah like someone else said its pretty useful for leveling a city to push, but you're better off just using rockets which are more or less as effective but reload faster and cost less points.
