A bright spot in what has been some tough times for the Cincinnati Zoo.

Large cinder blocks and wood planks in the back of my Volvo V40—for my storage unit—to make shelves. Next time it was in the shop I discovered my rear struts were mysteriously broken. Car drove fine though, just sagged a bit more than usual if there were people in the back seat. Never repaired it. Traded it in a few…

This is my 2nd “unpopular” opinion, though this may secretly be popular, I don’t know. But I don’t think that any unibody vehicle has any business towing anything more than the occasional short trip with a trailer.

I generally agree with much of what you say, but I’m not going to put my family in a Honda Fit, which will be on the losing side of any serious collision with a mid-sized car and up. As I walk through the parking lot of where I work, a full 50% of the cars are SUVs and pickups. There’s a reason my cop friend only buys…

Minivans are better than SUVs in virtually every practical purpose.

Bought a 1 year old Mazda 6 Grand Touring fully tricked out in Navy for $20K about 6 months ago. I’m very happy with it. Averages 30+mpg combined and often get long highway drives at 40mpg, the prev owner tinted the windows so it feels really slick. All bark and no bite, but I’ll take the mpgs and again, just a joy to…

I can assure you, you want either a DNR or medical POA. There’s a reason why the overwhelming majority of doctors (like 85%) make a DNR. I know you’re joking, but I want to make sure you understand that not having a DNR is like signing yourself up for a terrible death.

“what happened” is that porn is addictive, and the industry knows it, and does everything it can to expose everyone to it, knowing that if they can get hooked it will be a potential profit source. So you can avoid it by choice... that’s good. You are in the minority of individuals.

You can shoot the messengers for…

“You didn’t ask to do business with Equifax,” ... well, that’s not exactly true. When you applied for credit, you learn of things like a credit score. Virtually everyone knows about this, even vaguely, and thus while you may not know the specific companies, you know that info is out there somewhere. It’s willfully…

There are the not religious, the casually religious, and the fairly seriously religious/spiritual types. I think these groups react differently, though what matters is how much thought you’ve given to the seriousness of people and life. I think my religion helps—I believe it, I try to practice it. But I know of other…

I wish I knew, but such experiences are terribly common. Clinicians notice when someone who is dying becomes unusually aware, and they know that time is running out.

work with native Americans to update it... I bet you something really interesting could result. I personally, having lived in Cleveland, kind of like the logo (in part because I saw so many people of color wearing versions of it that empahsized how racist it is), but that doesn’t mean that I think it should stay—if…

I’ve ridden my bike in the Lincoln Tunnel...during the MS bike-a-thon. It was a truly scary moment because I was going about 35mph and my tire blew. I was lucky to be able to roll to a stop, but then had to walk my bike out the other end.

My jailbroken 6Plus keeps on keeping on. I’ll only give it up if what I’m replacing it with is truly worth it.

So far, every system out there has been fooled by photos, so they have to have presumably solved that issue for it to be viable.

Yeah, I like the idea of electric cars but I’ll be sticking to PHEVs until the range/charging issue is resolved. I simply drive too much and in out of the way places. Not to mention that I tow my trailer a lot, which is a pain enough in a gas vehicle, much less electric.

I agree with the article in terms of dating profiles, but I will say that I wore a hat for years in college and after and lots of people were surprised at times when I didn’t have it and they could see I was balding. Granted, I’m balding at a rate of about an inch a decade, so I have always had plenty of hair, but…

I agree, though I fully support the sunblock on my head, which I do almost every day when I’m out. I also have plenty of hair, despite my 4 inch bald spot, so I’m not going to shave.

I like to put something between my bum and the seat after I’ve cleaned off the visible droplets of someone else urine. I know...super picky.
