The minima at 2009-2010 is absurdly clear though. You undid 20 years of progress in about 10 years. I’m honestly shocked - what happened in 2009 to cause this?

Dumb as fuck EPA emissions standards

But the US Department of Transportation was concerned that smaller vehicles are less safe in the event of an accident, and this department oversees Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards. Hence, the agency discouraged manufacturers from reducing vehicle size to meet the standards by ensuring that the Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards require higher fuel economy for smaller vehicles than for larger vehicles.

…

Since the adoption of size-based standards in 2012, new vehicles have been getting larger, and sales have shifted from cars to light trucks. Between 2011 and 2022, the average vehicle footprint (roughly, the area defined by the four wheels) increased by about 4 percent, and the share of cars in total sales dropped from about 65 percent to 40 percent. In the GHG standards that EPA proposed in April this year, the agency notes that the increasing size and shift from cars to trucks has increased average emissions rates by about 10 percent.

Bench seating: what you use when Captain’s chairs are just not uncomfortable enough for your tastes.

Hell, I’d love to see them try their hand at an explanation before the AI text vomit. As long as it’s mostly readable, I’d rather it be a bit stilted but honest rather than this crap.

Fuck you botly, I’m going clankertipping

Rossman posted a video a while ago about how Microsoft updated their site without noting they updated it to gaslight their customers into thinking it’s always said that.

There’s a reason these companies are trying to kill the archive sites, it lets people call them on their bullshit.

Around me, bundles are generally 5-8 dollars when I buy them, but I’ve seen people charging over 10/bundle, and they can go fuck themselves

I was running it on a couple hundred Mbps up for a while, and gig up is fine

Claims to not be woke

Seriously tho, what in the actual fuck is this guy trying to say, other than trying to appeal to rightoids while doing the same thing the games he is bitching about do. They constantly cry about ThE wOkE aGeNdA when you can select pronouns that LITERALLY have 0 impact on gaming, but apparently including WoKe content in the actual game is ok if you’re on their side.

Completely not transparent or shameless, as is tradition.
