    I’ve ridden horses for much of my life, and always shared my life with dogs.

    A good horse you have a bond with is freaking awesome, but dogs are just on another level.

    EDIT: As many have mentioned here, there are a lot of asshole horses, but some are really noble. You just have to treat them nicely, not as things.

    We don’t deserve dogs.

    It’s complicated.


  • While design can be excellent, manufacturing often suffers. I have had the chance to check out fairly thoroughly a couple of friend’s Chinese EVs, and I found things like primer showing I certain parts of the engine bay, flimsy supports for the infotainment system, etc. One of them told me that the steering wheel buttons stopped working a couple of weeks, and warranty service was being a nightmare.

    Cost cutting shows. They are going the opposite route of Toyota. They’ll probably earn a reputation in the mid term for low quality and low durability.

    What’s the saying? Nice, cheap, good; pick two.
