The challenge is: YOU literally are the TARGET demographic for that show. Likely the only demo for that show. If you can't be bothered, that's bad news for the Smithsonian channel.

Like the guy asks...why even make the ICE versions when the electric is already so much better?

@Square Wheels head must be spinning! IN SEPTEMBER I traveled to Munich to drive two vehicles that are hugely consequential for BMW : the iX, a battery-electric midsize luxury SUV; and our guest this week, the i4 M50 sedan, an electric—but otherwise nearly indistinguishable—iteration of the well-groomed 4 Series Gran Coupe. After a couple hundred kilometers soaring across Bavarian fairyland, here’s my capsule review: glorious. Not only that. Sweet, swift, swank, swell, fast as hell, hushed as a chapel, cool as marble, minty fresh. With its front and rear e-motors providing a digitally mastered 536 hp to the wheels, the i4 M50 accelerates like Derby Lane’s electric rabbit—0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds. But even at Autobahn speeds, just ask; the upwelling torque (max 586 lb-ft) will mush you lovingly into the seat. It’s too bad earlier generations of car reviewers have squandered the phrase “corners like it’s on rails,” because the i4 M50 really does, thanks to its sport-sedan stance and low center of gravity, to which the 81.5 kWh battery pack under your bum contributes most. All BMW’s trick suspension kinematics—including rear-air suspension and logic-controlled dampers—are made better, more supple in action, by the car’s low-slung C-of-G. You can just feel it. This is a better BMW. ... Here’s where I get off script. Management offers this car as proof of its orderly, market-driven transition to electrification through the end of the decade. But because the product is so much more compelling than the gas version, it raises the question: Why build them any other way? Who is being served by such gradualism, the shareholder or the customer? Maybe I’ll just eat dinner in my room.\

Well....would you???? I do wonder what sort of stock options she got, and if she was able to act on them prior to the steady decline.

In her past life, absolutely. A sister from a different mister is how she views cats!

My dog would IMMEDIATELY leave the room. She hates squeaker toys.

We have a high bed, and we put a lower padded platform at the foot of the bed for her to use as a step up and to also cushion her landing the other direction. Our old dog I would pick up at night and put down onto the floor in the AM.

We have yards, then sidewalk, then grass strip, and then the road. Some azzclowns put up "Curb your dog" or "don't pee on the grass" signs in those grass strips. Idiots.

...but at least they were donated Is there a more iconic set of ears in science fiction than those of Mr. Spock? The half-human, half-Vulcan science officer, first portrayed by Leonard Nimoy in Star Trek: The Original Series and subsequent films, was known for his shrewd intelligence, his cool logic, and his pointed ears. We are excited to share that a new prop from Star Trek has joined our collection: a set of Spock ear tips from Nimoy’s personal collection. These ear tips were made for Nimoy to transform into Mr. Spock in the filming of The Original Series and were taken home from set by the actor, who hand-built a display box to keep them safe. We are honored that his children Adam and Julie and the Nimoy family have donated his father’s keepsake ears to the National Air and Space Museum.

No one wants to comment on the valve stem to tire label misalignment???? I thought @Page Turner was a pro. A purist. A guy who pays attention to the tiniest of details.

It's the reason we end up have stock market meltdowns. No way they are even worth $10B, so that earlier $50B should SCARE the heck out of people. But it won't.

The correct response by a MILE!

Ah, but if a home had a pot filler in the kitchen, a great second sink in the kitchen too, BUT no double sink in the master bathroom - would you nix the house?

Well, them and old French men.

...and I've asked before, but how on earth was Peloton valued at $50B when GM is only at $80B and Ford $89B???? Shares of Peloton Interactive Inc. PTON -24.12% sank 15% Thursday following a report that said the company plans to temporarily halt production on its connected-fitness products. CNBC reported that the company would pause Bike production in February and March, and pause production of its Bike+ until June, citing internal documents. Peloton won’t manufacture its Tread treadmill machine for six weeks, beginning next month, CNBC reported. The company didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. Shares were trading midday at $26.94. The shares are down 83% over the last 12 months and 70% over the last three. The company’s market value has tumbled from more than $50 billion to under $10 billion.

I wondered the same. Dopey - probably Brit - saying!

You probably have some New England liberal PC name for it!

There you go - solving problems. And that was right in front of us the whole time!

SHE HAS HER OWN BEDROOM NOW!!!!

Do what every else does - order 4x or 10x what you actually think you'll need!

At least it fits the "word" category. I knew we were in trouble trying to pass two words off as a single one.

We're Teams, and it is ridiculous. Makes you miss real meetings. But really makes you question WTF is wrong with people who LIKE them.

All three take your spot???? Damn, that seems like a coordinated act!

We watch an assortment of House Hunters, HH International, and similar home shopping shows. WTF is up with the people who, when asked for their big "wishes" or deal breakers in a new home, is a double sink in the master bathroom???? I get the women or the families with little kids who want a bathtub, but double sinks??? Is this some weird bougie thing? We have double sinks and I always think "what a waste" when I see them. Anyway, that's just my thought, and I can't seem to understand why it would be on anyone's home buying radar. I can think of dozens higher priority items.
