the ioniq 5 would be more interesting to me over the kona.  i assume it'll be a little more expensive, but probably not much?


bunch of new ev models gonna be released in the next 2-3 years too.

I can't find very many details on it, much less info than a lot of other '22 models other than the honda civic which is getting a re-design so details are also pretty speculative.

« on: March 01, 2021, 09:06:48 PM »

Very hard for me to compare sports even among K-State.

2012 was like a dream.  I was extremely in to it, but it almost never really seemed 100% real, like all the parts of it were so magical and like a fairy tale.  I know I have said some extremely awful crap and thought some terrible things about Bill over the years but that season was just so pure.

1997-1998 was just unreal, a 2 year stretch of just insanity and manhattan basically went through puberty with me.  Just indescribable.  Also I was in St. Louis.  Still just a monumental achievement.

2002 was a super fun year, actually more fun than 2003 ended up being imo as 2003 got screwed up right off the bat and then the Big XII title game was vindication, but it was very short lived as the Fiesta Bowl fiasco right after that kind of capped off the disappointing year.  No doubt the Big XII title was a huge get and very, very important for our psyche and the program, especially against Stoops & OU.


Final rank:
1. 2012
2. 1998
3. 1997
4. 2002
5. 2003

Hon. mention 1999, Beasley gets such endless crap because he was compared to Bishop and was followed by Ell, but he was still good and that defense and ST was unreal. The Texas roadie was an all-time great win.

The irony of a big centralized bank trading bitcoin is fantastic

Also coinbase going public to raise American dollars

I hope they insist on denominating their press release for quarterly prints in satoshis or some dumb crap like that.

I think I am 2 years away from a new car.  I have never bought a new car before and I think I might pull the trigger, especially if Biden does something to make the the EV tax credit fully refundable or something.  I would have to really get aggro with my withholding to show a big enough tax liability to get the tax credit as is.

I am pretty sure I am getting at least a hybrid, probably an EV as we have a Pacifica for long hauls/kid shuttling.  This will just be my car for a commute and an occasional trip where we take two cars to family in St. Louis area or I go to KC or something.  So 250 mile range would be fine for most stuff, in extreme cold they said it can actually be as bad as about half that but I doubt I would want to drive very far with it in extreme cold and most situations where I would need to drive any distance in that weather would be the holidays and so I would have time to stop and re-charge.

Most likely:
Hyundai Kona EV
'22 Chevy Bolt EUV

Possible:--would depend on price and tax incentives
Tesla 3
VW id4

Unlikely:
Tesla cybertruck (price and stats are great! but it looks weird as hell)
VW electric van (don't need that much space, next move would be to get the Pacifica hybrid for the wife)

Gas back up New:
'22 Honda Civic with a stick shift (I don't want it to look like a cheap 2 fast 2 furious racer, but a manual would be fun and price is unbeatable)

Gas back up Used:
get a used luxury whip like a BMW or Caddy and mpg/gasoline be damned

Other than spending money, has bombing anyone really actually worked since WWII?

Dems acting totally naive to war monger Biden’s actions and his fake promises so far. Who could have predicted this?! My god, what are we even doing right now?

I told lots of people on here and irl he would suck ass especially in foreign policy.

I wish conservatives would go back to doing the smug satisfied crap like getting coffee mugs that say “liberal tears” on them or protesting Starbucks by ordering a coffee and then throwing it in the trash or something.  The whining and crying is a bit grating and it is early days yet.

Several Senate sources: No minimum wage in the budget reconciliation bill, a big loss for Democrats. Parliamentarian says it’s not within the Senate rules of reconciliation

The parliamentarian thing is so dumb. I can’t believe our country allows our politicians to get away with this insane made up process bullshit to avoid ever doing anything.

I wish one of you could tell me that name of the bar on the corner just north of Mae’s c. 2005/2006. I’m surprised no one else on here knew about that oasis of a bathroom in it’s basement.

The place immediately north of Mae's on the corner in '05/'06 was Pita Pit and the bathrooms were on the main level. There was a basement but it was sans bathroom. Lil' waks worked there briefly at the time w/ @mocat 

Guess I can’t remember where that bar was then. I swear it was on a SE corner and when I look at that building on google maps now it looks the same with the windows, size & door placement. It was pretty small. I found it because some friends were in a band called Emma’s Mine & they played there a few times. If they hadn’t played there I never would have gone in.

I mean, Mae's is the only bar in Aggieville that has a basement that's open to the public. Did PJ's have a basement? I know it was a music venue but it was turned into a parking lot before I was 21.

PJ's definitely had basement bathrooms

Jesus. We really are going to recreate the roaring speculating 20’s and the subsequent unfortunate 30’s, aren’t we.

yeah, might even have a dust bowl while we're at it.

the absolute best part about this is Neera is getting taken down for completely terrible and unjustifiable reasons from Washington DC insiders and she will be aggrieved about it forever.  She doesn't get the prize she's spent her whole life working for because of some tweets.  hilarious.
