All well and good until we found out that Google updated the name before GNIS managed to do it. They went out of their way to score points as quickly as possible.

There was a good editorial cartoon recently in the Canadian Globe and Mail paper related to this: https://ibb.co/fdG9PtST

Well, he did get elected so...

I heard that term about the Hyundai Santa Fe first. Now it's the Chinese manufacturers giving JLR competition.

Of course if you drive the actual vehicle back to back with a Land Rover, you'll find that looks or interior do not a Rover make. For now anyway.

I trust you realise that JLR is now owned by Indian steel company Tata?

Doesn't even matter who owns them. Reliability is consistently terrible and the vehicles are consistently nice to drive.

Actually it does matter. They were terrible cars when owned by the British. And there's a chance they'll be much less terrible being owned by the Indians. I'm not sure they're that good to drive either. I had a Jag for a while and it was okay. But a bit of a wallowing boat and don't get me started on the roadholding of a Rangy.

Is this satire?

It's actually quite good for a publication that rarely publishes good content. I'd rate it near the top of everything I've ever seen in The Economist.

Near the end of the article, there's this blurb:

To understand the deep meaning of “Paw Patrol”, the best tool may not be ideology but psychoanalysis. One of its tenets is that many children want desperately to heal their parents, partly for their own well-being, sometimes taking on parental roles themselves.

In plain text, Paw_Patrol's main feature is depicting adults (and all parents) as astonishingly dumb, they have no intelligence whatsoever, they behave like helpless toddlers to be saved and directed by the all-knowing children.

This setup destroys children's minds, turns them against their parents, removes any semblance of parental authority and makes the child an easy prey of scams and propaganda.

I'm not so sure that motorcycle emissions are much better than a car's, even if they do consume less gas. Cars have very complicated emissions systems and are under stricter regulations.

I've also never been able to get anywhere close to 3l/100km. As soon as you move onto bigger displacement bikes, you're looking at around 6l/100km, which is comparable to a hybrid car that weights 5-6 times what the bike does! It's far from an extremely efficient mode of transportation given the significantly reduced utility.

Regardless, ride as long as you enjoy it, or until you have to recalculate the amount of risk you can afford!

Yea I don’t want to be that guy but my EV that seats 4 uses less fuel to get the same distance when you account for the massive inefficiency of a petrol engine versus that same petrol in a power plant with heat recovery and fancy emissions controls.

It’s fun to ride motorcycles though.

Exactly right. OP determines value differently than a mega corporation.

I was surprised cause I thought the Focus was fairly reliable.

Turned out the post was about an Escape. Title is wrong.

Must be viral if it says so in the title.

It could just be bluster. Ukraine, as near as I can tell did no provocation. The EU has done a lot of provoking. Who's getting invaded?

Sounds like an Ayreon song.
