IT Nerd of 30yrs and avid hobbiest of genealogy, geology and science in general.

  • If you haven't seen it, watch Mel Brooks: The 99 Year Old Man! on HBO Max. Jerry Seinfeld is on it several times.

  • Thankfully there's more than one Mom and Pop shop. So our sneakers (and Sienfelds) will eventually show up somewhere...

    Good memories. Now I have to go full 'no soup for you' on my kids tomorrow.

  • Jealous. I wish I could do that, but I neither have the space nor the money for a good espresso machine. I'm a major fan of Breville btw.

  • I love my Lavazza coffee blend. I grind and brew it as often as I can. However, I have days where I hit the fuckit button at 5am and have to buy coffee somewhere.

  • Even as an American, I've stopped drinking this garbage years ago.

    Virtually every Mom and Pop shop tastes better at this point so do yourself a favor and support a local small business instead.

  • Pretty sad that this is the best thing Alabama can push as 'news'.

  • Same. I rather enjoy giving my wife weekly 'screenings' for lumps. Didn't enjoy the thought of that changing lol.

  • OK I don't know most of those services.That's because they vary from country to country.

    VW Flex is a car rental service, or some sort of car sharing program, why are you mad that VW offer such a service? If you don't want it, you are 100% free not to rent a car from VW or anyone else.SIXT isn't even VW but BMW!

    When I briefly looked at an ID.4 and ID Buzz they insisted, even though it was untrue, that VW Flex and SIXT+ were the only options for me to lease... SIXT+ is used here for Porsche and certain VW models, but is more a rental service than a leasing service. That's definitely true.

    I can see you may have a point about some of the other items.But here we don't have those, but the app is also very limited here, and I cannot lock the doors of my car remotely, something I found weird, since it must be extremely easy to make.Navigation is however included without charge. And there are no subscriptions.

    Yup. Again, this is VW getting away with whatever they can where they can.

    I have no idea what the points below are supposed to be about. Except VW works fine with unions in Europe, but USA has no protections of unions, so blame your government and fellow Americans for that one too. Absolutely fight for unions, If I were American I would support a unionized brand as well.

    Well, I have family in Frankfurt, DE that also hates VW as of late. They just announced for example they're laying 50k people off worldwide... not because they're suffering, but because of lower than expected profits. Post tax profits dropped? boohooo. Eat shit VW.

    You make some good points, but I don't get why you start out with points in both sections that seem pretty stupid non issues, apart from diesel-gate of course being an issue, but since everybody did it, you can't really use that for anything.

    I have no excuse for this other than it was an energetic response full of emotion that prevented better articulation lol.

  • USA, any VW dealership:

    • VW Flex
    • SIXT+
    • Remote access sub
    • Navigation Sub
    • Plus Navigation Sub
    • ID.3 power upgrade sub

    Lies:

    • Dieselgate
    • Union busting Tennessee
    • German zero impact factories
    • Belgium manufacturing plant pollution

    Take your pick. VW has been failing for so long that they moved to subscriptions to pick up the bottom line from their remaining customers, then complain no one wants their vehicles.

    VW: Once the king of affordable and reliable, now just garbage.

    May they fail miserably and fade into obscurity in my lifetime.

    Sincerely, a VW hater since Dieselgate.

  • May VW go bankrupt on its own lies and subscriptions.

  • San Diego?

  • Higher Priority = US Pentagon requests for more AI role playing with bombs.

  • Sorry, tinfoil hats aren't my fashion style.

  • 1979: Iran overthrows Supreme Shah Monarchy and installs Qom Clerical rulers, vowong never to return to Monarch rulers.

    You know that was the CIA, right?

    We keep deposing and murdering your leaders and you keep picking the wrong ones.

    The Iranian Revolution of 1979 was a CIA FAILURE. Absolutely nothing more. The CIA didn't expect Khomeini's popularity to be as strong as it was, but neither did my Mom's family who left Tehran in 1979. Fuck the Khomeini and Qom empire.

  • Look Mommy, it's history repeating itself all over again!

    1979: Iran overthrows Supreme Shah Monarchy and installs Qom Clerical rulers, vowing never to return to Monarch rulers.

    2026: Iran reinstates Monarchy by 'electing' son of slain ruler via a panel of 88 Qom Clerics, making him a true Theocratic Monarch.
