My friend owns (what I consider to be at least) one of the cleanest jeep Cherokee XJs in the world. A 1999 limited with all the desirable options, full service history, original window sticker, low(ish) mileage, and it’s in beautiful shape. Best part is, he got it for under 4 grand. I’m jealous.

It’s hotter than hell out there, stay hydrated yo

I feel bad for those who wish harder for the downfall of their opponent’s cause than the victory of their own.

I have now officially made money trading crypto, to the tune of about 13% in the last month. I still hold a generally negative view of it, but I mostly hold that view around our attitude towards it and it’s negative societal implications. I now believe that it is possible to solve these issues relatively quickly

My, the last few months have been a mess. It’ll probably only get messier too, but I’m surviving 

People with authoritarian tendencies scare me a little 

Why I, a car enthusiast who loves petrol engines cars, is excited for the electric car revolution and the death of the internal combustion engine:

I always here petrolheads talk about how soulless electric cars are, but I think they miss the point. Have they driven a new non-electric car? They all have no soul. Cars with a soul died years ago. I’m not sad to see new cars with IC engines go. Electric is soon, if not already, better than IC in pretty much every way. Here’s where it comes together though- just because new cars won’t come with IC engines it doesn’t mean that they all just disappear. The vast majority of the population does not care, but the minority that does care cares a lot, enough to support a miniature scale of the infrastructure we have now. You’ll have your daily, it’ll be electric, and it’ll be a wonderful car (and probably fast as hell...), but there’s no reason you couldn’t also have a “classic” petrol powered car, albeit one that’s costly to run, that you take out on the weekends or to the track. Jay Leno has mentioned this idea before, and it really stuck with me. The vast majority of people don’t care about cars as anything other than transportation, so when they say the death of petrol powered cars, they mean the death of petrol powered transportation.  But to people like you and me, cars and transportation aren’t necessarily synonymous and as we begin to take environmentalism more seriously there will be a bunch of situations like this in all walks of life. It’s more than possible, if not entirely probable, that this will be a very common situation.
