Pickup Truck Guy: A Brief Psychoanalysis | CityNerd (21:29)
  • A someone who has been trying to figure out what vehicle to buy to tow my boat, I wonder how much of this is caused by weird tow ratings in North America. Towing anything with a car or small/mid sized SUV, and actually obeying the tow rating is a complete crapshoot. My current SUV is rated 1500lbs here and 3500lbs in the UK.

    Pickup trucks are easy though. They come with massive tow ratings, even the small ones that my SUV outweighs and outpowers.

  • Why I refuse to upgrade - 8 minutes video explaining why it's not that interesting to upgrade phones nowadays
  • Last couple upgrades was iPhone 7 -> 11 Pro -> 15 Pro. Each brought me something significant (FaceID, 120hz screen, magsafe, wireless charging, etc) along with a nice speed boost. I feel like the sweet spot for upgrading is 3-4 generations.

  • Meddling
  • Honest question from someone not in the US: How does the Republican Party square the circle of having a big contingent of their supporters basically hating Jews while also supporting Israel?

  • Did Reddit year-end recaps expose Russian interference in Alberta?
  • I find it weirder still that there’s not more public discourse on it in media and politics. Like, this is the country (what’s left of it after the USSR) that for decades was Americas villain, and now they’re actively sowing discord in the country, and no one cares.

    If this was the Cold War there’d be entire government agencies dedicated to stopping troll farms.
