You do realize there is a *huge* surplus of oil, and many deposits have not even been tapped as of yet. We'll have at least enough for the next two years or so, don't worry. You'll have more than ample oppurtunity to annoy the general public with your "blarin 1000 watt speacers".

So what if someone wants to drive an escalade with a V12...it's their choice and if they can afford more power to them. I don't like the escalade but I won't be telling others not to drive them.

Also I'm not sure if the escalade is made on the platform as the suburban (like a lot of GM based cars are but actually the Hummer2 is nothing more than a new shell on top of a Chevy Suburban. One of the best marketing schemes ever. "hey buy a Hummer, shh don't say anytihng about how it's practically a chevy suburban." Says the GM executive

So by your account, we should never question what someone does. Rather we should just accept everyone as they truly are, and not push them to be more introspective, thoughtful, reflective, or educated.

If we all live the way you claim to, we will find it truly difficult to move society forward.

Yeah us Americans are stupid....not.....yes we like big cars and we like them pimped with the stereo blaring out of the car! Also we try not to pollution but people that own companys for bad things pollute the air not us good people .

you try not to pollution?

guess where most pollution comes from?

"good people" like yourself.

if you want a car with lots of sound, then get a Scion and put some big speakers in there. No use ruining a nice car with that kind of crap. the cadillac escalade simply shouldnt exist.if you want to seat a lot of people, get a minivan like normal people. if you want a nice pimp-mobile, then you need to learn about a little thing called "class". If you are trying to make up for your inadequacies by having a big and loud car, well then you are an idiot.

Yes, but you're forgetting the most important aspect; you'll look rich, *and* ignorant, all with minimal effort on your part. What could be better? And to top it off, imagine how much "1000 watt speacers" would improve that image tenfold?

Food for thought: Most nice cars on the road are rentals.

In areas of the United States where SUVs are still cool, the majority of nice cars are rentals.

Wow, that's right on. You just perfectly described one of my best friend's family. Just left out the cross-over SUV for the second son.

The people you just listed are not necessarily cool. Wealth doesn't necessarily equate to an understanding of where the edge is (aka cool). It's much more difficult to set the trend, than it is to ride the one that has just passed by.

    • Lethal fake phone chargers are still being sold on Amazon and eBay, UK watchdog warns

      By zikalify · Posted

      Lethal fake phone chargers are still being sold on Amazon and eBay, UK watchdog warns by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels The UK consumer rights organization, Which?, is claiming that “potentially lethal knock-off chargers” are still being sold on online marketplaces seven years after it exposed the danger of these chargers. In its latest investigation, it bought 15 USB phone chargers from several online marketplaces and found they were missing key information, meaning they cannot be legally sold in the UK. Which? bought the 15 chargers from seven online marketplaces. These were Amazon (including Amazon Haul), AliExpress, B&Q Marketplace, Debenhams Marketplace, and eBay. It said that the chargers were so badly made that anyone using them was at risk of electric shock. Over half the chargers also posed fire and explosion risks. Of the chargers purchased, one was a fake Apple USB-C 35W power adaptor charger. To confuse buyers, the box was branded with an Apple logo, but testing found it to be a fake. Further testing picked up arcing sounds after 10 seconds of use, where a current jumps between two parts of the electrical circuit, which can cause fires, explosions, or electric shock. The manufacturers of this particular charger also put modeling clay inside it to make it feel more weighty, robust, and genuine. Not all of the chargers were technically faulty; however, some were missing key packaging, markings, and documentation, meaning they can’t be sold in the UK legally. Which? said that it is now campaigning alongside a coalition of safety groups and businesses for new laws that make online marketplaces responsible for ensuring the safety of products that they choose to list on their websites. It also said the government needs to start using powers under the Product Regulation and Metrology Act, which was adopted last July, to impose safety requirements on online marketplaces via secondary legislation, but so far, there have been delays. No matter what country you are in, be sure to properly research what you are buying and only buy authentic chargers to prevent fires. You can read more about Which?’s research here.
    • Visual Studio finally gets long-awaited feature that developers will love

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Visual Studio finally gets long-awaited feature that developers will love by Usama Jawad Visual Studio Code is Microsoft's popular, lightweight, open-source code editor, it is actually Visual Studio that is the company's flagship integrated development environment (IDE). Although the IDE already offers a boatload of useful features for developers, Microsoft has finally introduced a long-requested capability that will be loved by many. While developers have already been able to create Git pull requests (PRs) directly within Visual Studio for the past couple of years, it had not been possible to review a PR without switching to the browser, until now. Microsoft revealed in December 2025 that it is working on UX that enables developers to do just that, and fast-forward to June 2026, and Visual Studio finally has native capabilities to open and inspect a PR, discuss feedback, and wrap up the review, all without switching to the browser. This integration works for both GitHub and Azure DevOps (including on-prem). Developers have access to multiple surfaces to open a PR, including Git Repository, Git Changes, and the Git menu in Visual Studio. Once you open a PR, all the important details will be immediately visible to you, from where you can navigate to various levels of granularity and branch states, depending on the reviews that you are engaged in. As you would expect, you also get a diff view that enables you to see code changes inline or side-by-side in a separate panel. You can also review commit-by-commit. Additionally, this UX fosters collaboration as you can leave comments, reply to threads, and resolve conversations easily. Naturally, you can also leverage Copilot to apply a code suggestion to fix a potential issue. When you are done, you have the ability to approve, complete, and merge the PR. This is a pretty major feature as it has been requested heavily for the past few years. You can try it out in Visual Studio 2026 version 18.7, made available here recently. Microsoft plans to enhance this experience further in future releases with comment filtering, a timeline of PR activity, and more.
