Because they're in denial and it's mildly amusing. Like the Amish, but if it was just a silly preference instead of a religion.

I think maybe 5 total episodes meet that description.

Roddenberry had much less to do with TNG, which is why it's better.

This is a clever rule. It will not be an obstacle for people who are capable of creating higher quality output using LLMs.

Aw shit. I just got done patching our PHP servers, now I gotta do the Railway too? I swear I'm gonna wake up to a Vercel SNAFU.

The Ioniq 5 N is really good too. Track mode is such a great tool on the 3 that it gives it a clear edge.

I own a v8 (4.6 modular, baby), and it's lovely. Different driving experience, much less performance. I don't want an EV that's trying to compete with that experience, I want a machine that's honest about what it is.

I don't care how my car looks. I spend the money on performance. Bang for buck, the performance model 3 is maximum smiles per hour.

Maybe if you don't like driving? It's really a solid car. Much better than the WRX, which is quite good. Make sure you set steering to low assist. The performance models in general are serious machines. Top of class in their price range by a long shot.

The 3 handles quite nicely, I'd compare the performance model favorably to any BMW M3.

So many things you just said are wrong. The control arms are 100k mile parts, and you can easily replace them with Unplugged Performance versions for under $1k.

That's not an accurate characterization of what happened, and I think you know that.

Gemini is the least stupid/most neurotypical model family IMHO. Works great for me

Always nice to know how someone really feels about a country that has made them very rich.

I'm friends with a payment docs writer. Holy crap are payments complicated.
