The book of faces has apparently lost the plot. My FB account and the spousal units have both forgotten the password. Seems to be fairly widespread.

Yup, global outage according to the news reports.

We’re here, though.

So, what do we want to chat about? :)

On Super Tuesday, that seems fine.  I'm sure it couldn't possibly be related.

Instagram and messenger are also down....

Seems like a good thing to me. No targeted adds or opportunity for this platforms show ads supporting someone's agenda.

2024 Dodge Charger Daytona: The muscle car goes electric

EVs are great, the infrastructure is garbage. Maybe once everyone is on the Tesla Supercharger network it will improve. The exciting thing from that article was this nugget at the end:

A 550-horsepower, two-door Dodge Charger SIXPACK H.O. and a 420-horsepower, four-door SIXPACK S.O. Both are set to be powered by the Hurricane twin-turbo inline-six.

Since hurricanes have a round, domed shape when viewed from the side, does that mean it's a Hemi by default?

Not at all!

We all got over the Charger being a 4-door, eventually. I'm sure the cretins will survive a 6-cylinder. Especially if it is the second coming of the Leaning Tower of Power.

I think when it goes out during a work day it's part of a study to see if or by how much productivity changes during the outage...

Probably drops as millions panic and waste time trying to get back on.

I never had a problem with it, but don't you recall all the weeping and gnashing of teeth from the purists when it was originally announced?

You would have thought Dodge had punched their collective grandmothers.

Considering how many engines have hemispherical chambers, it's not really anything to brag about.

A 4-door Charger would be a Coronet, wouldn't it?

Again, Mopar guys are "special".
