Strepitoso. Vedete? Una meraviglia.

BrownieMinusEye posted:

I type this mostly because this thread moves so fast anything I say gets lost to time very quickly. Not really of course, but enough for what I want.

I went to see my mom last week as she got over a double mastectomy surgery for a breast cancer scare. She's totally fine now, about the best kind of cancer scare you could have.

While I'm gone, all in a single loving week, a friend from grad school's wife goes into relapse for lymphoma and dies in about 5 days... I can't even imagine what that is like.

I'm really close to my mom so I tend to talk with her about these sorts of things, but gently caress if I'm going to potentially scare her, even if her situation isn't nearly as bad.

I'm sorry friend. My mom is getting a hysterectomy soon and I can't afford to visit her. I understand.

it's kind of amazing that "penny" "nickel" and "dime" are still meaningful in this economy

"quarter" is about the lowest actually meaningful unit of money and in like 2 years it'll be "dollar"

homie if you work with computers professionally in any way shape or form and say to yourself "hm, yes, I want more of this in my steel coffin that propels me down the road at 75 mph" then you are one serious bonehead.

ive been a software developer for over 10 years now and you would have to pay me to have much more computerized assistance than is in my 2001 grand marquis. even at that level the loving thing has lost little conveniences like "a functioning fuel gauge" because some dumbshit sensor in the fuel pump screwed up.

the more you work in IT, the more you realize that the very foundation of this world is built on either extremely underfunded coders or extremely lazy coders, and it's an abject miracle that it hasn't all gone catastrophically wrong yet

also i just hate those goddamn touch screens, they're bad enough in my stupid decade-old prius enough where its only useful function is managing the AC, even that takes a worrying amount of attention and I'm reticent to touch it at all while i am driving. i can't imagine more important functions hinging on it, guhh

The Bolt is the 240 mile all electric and the Volt is the 50 miles electric / able to switch to combustion engine deal. You are extremely correct that the Volt is a kickass car and pretty much perfect w/r/t modern infrastructure as far as efficient vehicles go. If you have a place to plug in at night you'll probably never need gas but if you wanna go for trips it gets great mpg. The tax credit is still available so you get 7.5k off new ones- if you have good credit and can put a bit down your payment will be tiny. Really great car (with a really annoying naming scheme, spark/volt/bolt :cmon:)

And yeah, the Bolt is what Tesla promised as far as an affordable all-electric EV, but without the ipad bolted to the dash, and also it's available now. Okay and it looks less sexy but it's a drat good car.

But you can pay 3 times the price and avoid buying a car with a Chevy badge on the front. How could you not?
