Well said. I'm constantly hearing older folk remark about how "computer savvy" the youngest generations seem. In reality, they're the least likely to grasp how the shit actually works.
Because who else has a Porsche running an American V8?
Trust me, American V8's aren't that cool to a Porsche or Audi nut. From Wikipedia:
The first motorcar in the world to have an engine with two overhead camshafts and four valves per cylinder was the 1912 Peugeot L76 Grand Prix race car designed by Ernest Henry.
My latest-gen all-aluminum General Motors V8 (with direct injection, variable valve-timing and cylinder deactivation)? It's a fucking pushrod engine with two valves per cylinder, which has been largely obsolete for how long?
Too small of an engine compartment and more importantly, you'd kill one of the Miata's biggest strengths which is its excellent front-to-rear weight distribution. Better to go with a smaller engine and turbo the shit out of it...
It's not due to weight: I run an aluminum smallblock V8 from GM and I bet it's at least as heavy as any flat-six ever made by Porsche; the iron block V8's that most modders are likely to use are even heavier.
We've done a lot of bad shit and yet somehow this is proving to be one of the darker chapters of our nation's history.
We've also done a lot of stupid shit such as falling farther and farther into debt (the "we" being the American people, not some abstract concept of "the nation"). For decades, we've gotten fuck all in the way of solutions and suggestions; globalist-interests continued to milk the situation (monetizing the race to the bottom and ensuring they're holding all the cards when there're no other players left) while their shills assured us that everything was fine.
So you glanced at the messenger's badge and either didn't bother to read the message or didn't understand it.
The issue of protectionism is entirely orthogonal to the concept of "left and right" (which are themselves bullshit flags for the naive to rally beneath while they're in fact being dividided and conquered but that's another story).
According to the most current interpretation by our conservative Supreme Court, the second amendment only allows for civilians to posses handguns inside their homes for self-protection
I guess Bhutan and India don't count. How about Tibet? I don't care how long it's been; they don't belong.And rounding-up Uyghurs (and likely others) so you can harvest their organs? I don't even have words for that one... at least they're not eating 'em (I probably shouldn't give them any ideas;
we've already got to watch our dogs).
Oh, and they're enthusiastically gearing-up to greatly increase their nation-bothering ability.
Let's face it: western interests sold out Taiwan in '79 (in return for equipping China to start fucking us) and they've gotten the wrong idea in their heads.
You're right in spite of yourself: by far the best tool for this job is indeed the one you write yourself... with a pencil (it's a to-do list, for fuck's sake).
America needs the Chinese a lot more than the Chinese needs America.
That simply couldn't be further from the truth... as evidenced by the simple fact that China continues to demonstrate their willing to expend vast resources to prop up our demand or their shit.

Confusion leading to frustration and anger... senility? Syphilis? (Statistically unlikely...) Perhaps too much caffeine+HFCS??
There are white people and then there are white people.
are still using VR
Let's see, which is more likely: A) we're already past "peak VR"
...or B) you're a moron.
Killing yourself is literally the most selfish thing a person can ever do
Care to explain your logic? I kid, I kid; please, not another word out of your retarded mouth!
No question; who's more likely to anthropomorphisize lines of code than a marketing douchebag?
...crude, heavy, inefficient, obsolete tech: often the perfect solution to a problem (in this case the problem of not having enough torque). :)
If you're going to run forced induction, you want iron.

Even Ford finally abandoned the pushrod engine...
Volvo 740 with Ford 302 (or 351C)
Porsche 914 with Chevy 350
Porsche 924/944 with Buick Grand National 3.8liter twin-turbo V6
Audi 200 with Chevy 454

but I can't fathom why
Usually because Force equals Mass times Acceleration.
You mean the right-wing Southern Conservative "Democrats" who have been dead for over a century
Yeah, them... and congrats, Mr. Education; you're only off by a century.

Of course they've gotten loud and shrill.

What ruling was that??
China isn't bothering anyone

out of principle
It's "on principle."

Try harder next time.
This "storage" of which you speak... pray tell; what is it good for??
Are you for real?!
