Wild. I bought a car from Carvana in 2022 and the interest rate back then was 6% on a 3-year loan, which was on the high side of normal for the time period.

I have a Boox Palma 2 - their cellphone-sized thing that doesn’t have a cellular radio. I love it. They’re more expensive than kindles, though, since they’re not subsidizing their cost with ebook sales. I haven’t actually tried jailbreaking a kindle so I can’t say how good an experience that would be, but you could probably pick up a kindle of some description on the used market for dirt cheap to try it out.

Run software they don’t approve of. Like alternate reading apps that don’t need you to pipe everything through an Amazon account, read formats they don’t support, etc.

This is why I have an Android e-ink device. I can put the kindle app on it for anything from their shitty walled garden, but I also can put pretty much anything else I want on it too.

Honda is better off without them.

Burn Stellantis to the fucking ground.

Sounds like him living 1,000 miles away is a good outcome.

$3k seems to be the minimum for anything that can actually run and drive nowadays

I hope you gave him a shit review.

Motherfuckers who turn their head to talk to others in the car while they’re driving. Keep your eyes on the road, dumbass.

Yeah, I’m fine with touchscreen for infotainment and navigation shit - as long as they give me a physical volume knob. HVAC and lighting and such should all be physical switches/buttons/knobs.

I’m using the Google news webpage, without fail it shows me horoscopes and sports every day no matter how many times I tell it that I’m not interested.

I wish they’d let me block entire topics, though. I don’t ever want a horoscope but it puts that shit in front of me every single day.

Domestic Terrorists.

I just replaced a drive today that has been running 24/7 for the last 5.18 years. It hadn’t failed yet but was in a predictive failure state due to the amount of bad sectors it has accumulated. 3 other disks in the same giant raid array are showing some bad sectors but not enough to be over the ‘replace me now’ threshold.

They costed less back when the competition was the IBM PC, which cost as much as a car back in the 80s. Hasn’t been true for decades now.

Yeah, places with lots of sunshine are more likely to do stuff like this. I recently visited Tucson, AZ, and the amount of solar panel coverage all over the place was very impressive. Both rooftops and parking lots.

As a shit golfer - yes, a sleeve of golfballs is always welcome. I’ll lose them soon enough and always need more.
