I wouldn't go diesel if I were you. Here in (Western in any case) Europe they started to ban diesels from 10 years old on in some cities and taxes on the vehicles and diesel are rapidly increasing. Everybody is selling their diesels (while they were the hype 15 years ago and everybody sold their ga...

I have never been able to follow reddit threads. Doesn't lend itself well to long term discussion, just spur of the moment type stuff.

What's funny and sad is that nobody bats an eye that Darth Cheeto **allegedly** had an affair with a porn star right after his wife gave birth to his son.

We have a similar situation in Sweden, so I'm driving a diesel as well. Definitely frugal but it sounds like a tractor. In the wake of dieselgate, the disparity between what the consumers crave (cheap, long range EVs) and what car manufacturers offer is huge. If I was in the market for a car today,...

So does anybody around here drive a diesel car? The market in the USA for diesel cars is very small (and even smaller since the VW debacle), but I’ve been looking at the Chevy Cruse diesel. Gets about the same mileage as a hybrid, but with better power and no batteries. I’m intrigued.

I don't like them , they sound nice but the travel is too short , far far too short . I agree with this, but do have to admit to the original thesis.

Not bad, price wise. I was expecting something like $200.

I have had a few Rollermice over the years and never had to worry about crappy software. Everything was part if the device firmware. Not that might be different for this mouse, but the Rollermice always worked fine.

I find it much harsher than the earlier gen Macbook keyboards, like the 2014. The low travel means that I always bottom out hard, and it's not as cushioned as the domes under 2014's keyboard. I'm worried that excessive use of it will end up hurting my hands. I had a new Macbook Pro from work and I ...

Yep I totally agree. The newest macbook pro keyboard is fantastic. Gen 1 butterfly apple switches were kind of mediocre but the latest revision is the best I have tried. I love how tactile they are It’s more so the feeling of tactility that it gives you. I think what sells it to me is the lightness...

Never thought I would type that sentence. And I’m swear that I’m not trolling. But it’s true.

I have tried the latest Dell business and Thinkpad laptop keyboards, gene...

Darth Cheeto took money from Russian oligarchs and banks, laundered it through offshore accounts, bought some real estate, and revived his business. They own him and could reveal it all. That’s why he is so hesitent to bash the Russians and hangs out with so many people that have shady relationship...
