This may not even be a reasonable question to ask; I was thinking ND2 Sports were priced comparatively to ND1 higher trims, and that does not appear to be the case with the used market in my area.

Better daily, an ND1 Club/GT or an ND2 Sport?

Near as I know, the only significant difference is the ND1 Club/GT has an LSD and a CD player, the ND2 has 30ish more hp from 700 more rpm.

I'm guessing it's gonna be a helluva lot cheaper/easier to swap in a limited slip later than find that extra pop in the engine.

Or save a bunch and get an NC?

@alex Your parents know what Signal even is??

@Basmitharts Ew, ewwwww, eww.

Tech Companies Apparently Do Not Understand Why We Dislike AI

It's becoming increasingly apparent that one of the reasons why tech companies are so enthusiastic about shoving AI into every product and service is that they fundamentally do not understand why people dislike AI. I will elaborate. I was recently made aware of the Jetbrains developer ecosystem survey, which included a lot of questions about AI. After I answered some of them negatively (and possibly…

I've been using a Hario Switch for my coffee-making needs, but it's getting retired because it's a total pain to find the filters this thing takes. The only place I can find No. 3 conicals is Amazon and the biggest seller of No. 3 conicals is Hario. It may as well be a proprietary filter.

So I ordered the Clever Dripper, as it's basically the same thing but takes a No. 4 that I can find in literally every grocery store in the area (even Costco).

@Basmitharts I've been missing some that I thought should have been obvious (I KNEW I knew the headlights on that Kona!), but I aced today.

@dan heh, reminds me of when I put three kegs in the trunk of an E38.

Dan Avidan has the voice of an angel, and it's always a pleasure to hear him sing outside of NSP and Starbomb.

@Basmitharts EV... with manual windows? My head is splode.

(In a good way)

Also, that SUV looks very Bronco II, which I dig

@Basmitharts It's a shameful side-effect of the rising prices. SO many people are opting to just take the cars primered, no paint at all 😢

PWHL officially announced the expansion Vancouver franchise today. They'll play out of the Pacific Collesium. 2025/26 will be the inaugural season. #HNOM https://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/pwhl/pwhl-expansion-vancouver-1.7516319

Looks like Vancouver is getting a PWHL team! Hell yeah, bring that puck west!

@Basmitharts Yeah, I'm not seeing it. This looks base-model as heck to me. It doesn't look -bad-, it's just giving "economy car with sport appearance package" instead of "luxury comfy cruiser".

Other than the Lexus badge, I would 100% believe you if you said this was the next TRD Camry.
