“Crossover” was essentially “minivan without sliding doors.”

4x4 generally means “you have a second gear selector to choose 2wd or 4wd Hi or 4wd Lo,” whether that selector is a mechanical lever or a switch.

“Full time 4wd” and AWD mean that the car is always driving all four wheels, there is no selector to switch to 2wd, and usually with the primary being front wheel drive, with a teeny driveshaft sending a small percentage of the power (like 20% or 30%) to the rear wheels (though that may change based on traction control sensor inputs).

I apologize for the length of the previous sentence.

You’ve unilaterally decided that “AN SUV MUST BE BODY ON FRAME!” and that’s just not the case.

Plenty of large SUVs are unibody.

“Structured” refers to the query language.

Humanity needs to be way more interactive globally than it currently is, and for a good long time. Forcing elimination of borders and nations without having a basically uniform global culture - and probably language - is a “bad idea.”

It sounds like your hate in this instance is misplaced, because “someone” set things up in that stupid way.

When humans are an invasive species for other humans.

It would still drive.

I knew all that time spent playing World of Tanks would pay off some day.

Right before the paywall in this very article:

Ukraine’s constitution is confusing. Article 103 states that the president is elected for a five-year term; but Article 108 says that he or she exercises power until a new president is inaugurated. A longstanding law (though not a constitutional provision) says that elections cannot be held when martial law is in force, as it has been in Ukraine since Russia began its full-scale invasion in February 2022.

Having read about this before, I can say that The Economist is wrong. It is a constitutional provision in Ukraine.

You had one chance to use 420 and you squandered it.

Within hours of the vote, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce pledged to sue the agency over the rule.

Fuck those guys.

I hear they’re also declaring that pi equals three.

Or when you’re having a problem with a piece of accounting software that nobody has ever had, so you call in for phone support, and they’ve never had it, but they can reproduce it on their side, find a solution, and thank you very much for letting them know.

It’s been towed outside the environment.
