One little bit of news that has caught my eye recently is the fact that Nissan has won its bid to become New York

llmw: yes, sad to hear of that too. But 1950/60s designed fiats would NEED phasing out. Have you ever ridden in any small italian saloon from the 1960s? Its a mostly horrid experience. The only good affordable sedan from the 1960s worth having a go in is the Volvo 122. Things only started getting bearable in the late 1960s when say Fiat came out with the fiat 124. Those were decent small cars to potter around in. BUT not in 2011 mind you.

 

So i suppose in Mumbai's case, a change should be made. Anyway, since they're still producing their version of the morris oxford from the 60s, maybe that should replace the cabs as indian govt officials start phasing them out.

  • Godzilla Minus One: Surprisingly emotional and poignant

    When one thinks of Godzilla movies, one imagines an oversized amphibious dinosaur generating a terrifying heat ray from its mouth and fighting with other oversized monsters.

But, unlike typical action films that dive headfirst into destruction a

    The Music that Shaped Me, Pt. 2

    Note: If you’ve stumbled onto this post without any context, do read Pt. 1 here first! It is said that the average person’s music taste starts to solidify early on in their adult lives, and by their early 30s they will begin to say things like “Music was better in my day”, “>insert your favourite artist or genre< is not real music”, something to that effect. Of course, I am speaking generally. With four more years to go till I hit 30, I’d like to think I try to expand my tastes o

    Are forums outdated? I try to find out by asking AI

    Is your boss asking you to explore and learn how to use AI to improve the quality and efficiency of your work? Yup, you aren't the only one in that boat.  Whilst exploring new AI tools, I figured: Why not use it to answer some burning questions that I have? This time, it was about whether forums are outdated. Yes, forums like this one that we are on. I remember how before social media became popular, and before apps like Carousell existed, forums were where I chatted with others t

    The fun in collecting postcards without (really ever) sending them

    I believe I may not be alone when I say that I’m quite the avid collector of postcards, but rarely ever send them out to family or friends. To some, this might seem counterintuitive, even wasteful. But for me, these miniature works of art serve a different purpose. They're windows into distant lands; time capsules of bygone eras; and conversation starters par excellence. In fact, in a city as fast-paced as Singapore, where our lives often revolve around our vehicles and the next destination
