  • Google keeps building tons of these ugly data centers that look like copies of Langley. Gone are the days where theres a quirky Bayside campus with fun colors and slides and shit.

    These things are already disastrous. Theyre put in outskirts of medium cities and do not take any planning into consideration. These facilities employ well over a 1000 people in places with no transit. I drove past one on a workday morning on a road trip and the only way in was a single left turn lane across a state highway. Not a single aspect of AI crap has any essence of humanity considered. Just reckless, vapid nonsense.









  • Wranglers as a platform are incredibly capable vehicles. In the off road segment, its basically them and 4Runners (I suppose broncos too, but those have somehow become even more boutique and cosmopolitan than wranglers are) , but the serious off roaders like the Wrangler more because it still has a solid front axle. Any car that the roof or doors comes off is just inherently fun too. That and its one of the few vehicles you can still buy new with a manual transmission.

    The infuriating part is that the people who buy them have contributed to making them worse and more expensive. A jeep used to be 2 door, stick, bare bones and they were CHEAP. YJ wranglers were the equivalent of around 20k today base. Even a base JL is 33k new today and it has no reason to be. After the AMC/Chrysler merger, Chrysler completely gave in to the insecure jackass section of people who wanted a RUGGED and MANLY car, but they need four doors for the kids, and heated seats, and cant drive stick so make it auto, and also the soft top is too loud so make a hard top and bam, the JK (first Chrysler wrangler) was born.

    Not really sure where I was going with this, but yeah, on merit, construction, safety, and comfort, theres no reason anyone should ever want one of those.
