![]() It would make me a bit uncomfortable if I only had the Miata and one family size car. If you can keep your Integra as the beater, that would be a good idea. The van was the child transport, and we pretty much never ran into a situation where me having the Miata as my daily car was a problem. Honestly, and you can let your wife read this, it was never a problem. In 2010 and some of 2011, I had a 2006 Miata as my daily driver. Since my wife works full time, we have a live in nanny take care of the kids, so she drives the van mostly. We've got a Kia Sedona minivan for the child hauling duties. Family of five myself, my three kids are all young. Or we could put "her" van out to bake in our hot Sacramento summers while "my" two cars stay nice and cozy in the garage, but I have a feeling she won't go for that either.ĭoes anyone have experiences to share on how viable a Miata + minivan is for a family of five? I could keep the Integra as a "beater" out front (though it actually looks very nice), but someone tried to steal it a few months ago (albeit far from home), so I doubt it would last long in that situation. any suggestions on how to convince my wife that it's ok to replace my Integra with a Miata when she's pushing me in the other direction (Accord, etc.)? She drives a Chevy Astro, so mathematically speaking, we should be able to handle any transportation situation that arises (she's currently staying home with the kids), but I don't think she'll buy that argument. if I didn't have three kids and a two car garage. And the dash/console looks better than anything else I've seen. Then I sat in it, and discovered it fit me like a glove - far better than any other car I've experienced. Of course, I think the Miata is one of the best looking cars on the road, but there's no way my wife will allow me to buy a two-seater (we have three young kids), so I never gave it a second thought. When I stopped by the Mazda dealership (looking for the Mazda3), my five year old daughter made a beeline for the Miata. Internet research tells me that small cars with leather seats and manual transmissions are hard to find (under $30K), so I visited a local auto mall with roughly 20 brands to see if I had inappropriately discounted a viable alternative (V6 Mustang, etc.). I've enjoyed these past 12 years with my current car (2000 Integra GS-R), but it's burning a quart of oil each month, and I don't want to pour money into this and other things that may fail soon (power windows, etc.), so I'm looking at new cars for the first time in over a decade.

![]() ![]() On 21 December 2004 it was purchased by the Washington Post Company. Slate is a United States-based, English language online current affairs and culture magazine created in 1996 by former New Republic editor Michael Kinsley, initially under the ownership of Microsoft as part of MSN. Slate describes itself as a "daily magazine on the web," a "podcast network," and "a general-interest publication offering analysis and commentary about politics, news, business, technology, and culture." Additional InformationĪccording to Wikipedia, Slate is an "online magazine that covers current affairs, politics, and culture in the United States from a liberal perspective." Two or more bias reviews have affirmed this rating or the source is transparent about bias. Another Slate piece labeled "news" opened, " Donald Trump, who is somehow the president, did an interview." Slate's framing of these issues and subjective language has a clear Left media bias.Ĭonfidence Level Confidence is determined by how many reviews have been applied and consistency of data.Īs of October 2023, AllSides has high confidence in our Left rating for Slate. Another piece claimed the Trump administration was "ignoring" rules against indefinite detention of undocumented children, when in reality the administration released documents proposing to amend them. For example, that day a piece on the site claimed that the Brett Kavanaugh Supreme Court nomination is "a matter of life and death" for women - a subjective statement. 6, 2018, we noted that multiple pieces of Slate content labeled "news" were not balanced, and gave readers only a Left perspective on issues of the day. In its news reporting, Slate often uses subjective and emotional words.Īt the time of review on Sept. Opinion pieces on Slate are often labeled news, making it unclear to readers what is fact and what is opinion. The AllSides team found that Slate never includes a Right-leaning perspective on its website, making it unbalanced. We decided to move Slate's bias from a Lean Left to Left. In September 2018, AllSides conducted an Editorial Review of Slate. Slate Moved from Lean Left to Left in Sept. The reviewer found that while much of Slate's content was opinion and analysis content on nonpartisan topics, content on partisan topics almost always criticized Republicans or advocated positions usually associated with the political left. 2022 Independent ReviewĪn independent review of Slate conducted in April 2022 by a member of the AllSides panel confirmed the rating of Left.

PowerDirector 365 (the version tested here) is a $74.99-per-year (often discounted) or $19.99-per-month subscription. ![]() A $139.99 Ultimate edition of the standalone video editor is the only version that's available as a lifetime license. You can try PowerDirector for 30 days with a downloadable trial that adds brand watermarks and doesn't support 4K. The Mac version is close to parity with the Windows version with a lot of advanced features like speech-to-text, AI Object Detection, Wind Removal, and Motion Tracking, but it lacks some newer features like the AI Image Generator. The macOS version arrived in 2021 and requires macOS 10.14 or later and runs on both Intel and Apple Silicon-based Macs. Any Intel Core i-series will work, but for AI features it has to be fourth generation or later for AMD, those requirements are Phenom II or later, and for AI features, A8-7670K and later, AMD Ryzen 3 1200A or better. You need a minimum of 4GB RAM, 7GB of hard disk space, and at least a 128MB VGA VRAM graphics card (2GB for AI features). ![]() PowerDirector runs on Microsoft Windows 11 or Windows 10, with a 64-bit version required. (Credit: CyberLink/PCMag) PowerDirector Platform Support and System Requirements PowerDirector already had motion tracking, but the newer feature is more accurate. Choose from nearly 7,000 templates and contribute intro sequences to an online community. PowerDirector's AI sky replacement tool, an effect that's also popular in Skylum Luminar and Adobe Photoshop, detects and replaces the sky in your footage with a stylized one or an image you upload. Note that both of these new tools require recent Nvidia graphics hardware on your PC. The video part is more exciting, as most competitors have audio denoising, too. PowerDirector has tools for denoising both video and audio. AI object selection effects let you surround, extend, or duplicate an object or person in your video, and the results are striking! See the video above for examples. Previous updates added some very noteworthy features, too: Every month, subscribers see new sets of media, fonts, and effects that add more creative possibilities. The Android version lets you continue editing your project on the desktop version of PowerDirector, but the iOS version can't yet do that. CyberLink PowerDirector's mobile video editing app includes body-wrapping effects (also new for the desktop program), speed changing, and background removal. You can now see how effects look on your footage before applying them to the timeline. Now you can quickly edit title and sticker loop effects in the control sidebar. The main buttons are along the top now instead of down the left rail, and you can make adjustments in the left-side panel rather than in pop-up windows. CyberLink continues to make the user experience more intuitive and streamlined. For me, it's a feature more appropriate for an image-editing program, but it could be of use to video producers. Like DALL-E, with this tool (still in beta) you simply enter descriptive text, and it creates an image for you. The startup experience in the 2024 version is quite different from the previous one, with more emphasis on stabilization, denoising, and simple project creation or resumption. I'll list the most interesting recent updates here: The company continually adds new effects and improves existing tools.
