great choice NOT getting the GRC — it doesn't fit a car seat comfortably if you're 5'8 or larger haha

the stock GRC exhaust is intolerable already; every time I pull into the apt complex where everyone drives an EV, I feel like we're the neighborhood hood rats

I have a GR Corolla and it's great in the mountains! It's tiny light and fun and fits a car seat (barely). I wouldn't consider a loud GRC w/ catback a "sleeper" though - it's quite…

before AI was around we blamed Covid for doing this to us, and now we blame LLMs... and before that we blamed social media. I'm pretty sure this downtrend has been happening for de…

it would be racist if we started calling it the texas screwworm, but that's kind of redundant

apparently it has to be destroyed and can't be sold

yeah it happens at smaller companies - someone insulted the boss and got sent home (small agency)

layoffs happen, and they're firings "without a real reason" - and no PIPs exist for surviving layoffs
