Hello, I am in western Geauga County. Downtown Cleveland is about 30 miles west of me and Kent is 30 miles south. I wish G-O Media had a mechanism to allow local people to meet locally.

This is what you get when a government minimizes taxes and promotes corporate growth as the greatest good while ignoring the needs of its citizens. The HK people are squeezed into miserable claustrophobic spaces. Yet expanding into “undeveloped” land (when not an unbuildable mountainside) would damage the…

...being able to secure a space of your own, even if it’s just a 100 square foot apartment, can come with an extreme cost.

considering a 1200 sq ft bungalow is now $350k

Starred for “felony level stupidity”.

Get something designed for the job from the factory for long term reliability and comfort, like a RAV-4. Not something cobbled together by the aftermarket as you suggest.

...grilling 3-4 times over an entire summer vs. once a week or more if that’s what I feel like is a gamechanger! ...a world of difference compared to all the mess and hassle of charcoal - particularly when you are just cooking for a couple people.

What was anyone supposed to do with that information?

Eh, no jet skis, but I retired at age 62. No exotic cars either; we just lived a somewhat frugal life while still owning a long paid-for Dream House with my built-in-1992 five car Dream Garage on 3.5 acres and we now own two Chevys and two Hondas. And yes, it is very less stressful. BTW, the preferred term is “child…

I had minimum coverage, then got into an accident where I got ‘the letter’ stating the damages might exceed my policy limits.

Unclear if that is a genuine XKCD image or just a clone...but I can assure the readers here that being a DINK* rocks!

I was just looking at one where I live - blue, manual, half tempted to get it has a city runabout.

A stick shift C30 is the only recent Volvo that really appeals to me. But...a quick search at cars.com showed a total of 120 C30s across the entire USA; 38 automatic, 74 listed as “other/unknown” which are likely to be mostly automatics, and 8 (eight) listed as manual.

At some point it just “felt wrong” to me from an environmental point of view to have a daily driver that got 20 MPG or less. When my rusty ‘79 Camaro 350-4bbl became no longer worth repairing, I bought a 2000 Honda Civic hatch, which got around 35 MPG. Today I DD a Chevy Sonic hatch that gets an indicated 35 MPG…

“Do you believe me when I tell you that God has been speaking to me?”

Add to that the requirement of deleting something to get something else that’s 100% unrelated.

So then there’s the question of whether you get more “transportation units” out of battery storage (feed clean power into the grid, use that power to charge batteries, use the batteries to power vehicles) or hydrogen storage (feed clean power into an electrolysis process to split water molecules, store the…

iHeart announced that, with Rush’s wife’s approval (read: Rush didn’t leave me with enough money, and I need more!) they will continue to use guest hosts and recycled Rush clips until they can find a proper replacement.

Regrettably, this article is dead on if you would reasonably assume the F150 customer base contains the same people who believe the lies spewed by Limbaugh, et al on AM talk radio. Even now the Reich Wing professional liars continue to masturbate upon the decaying corpse of Limbaugh on his EIB (the manufactured…

In my area we generally have 87, 89, and 93 octane, though maybe some off-brands max out at 91. On this question I’m going to depart from my usual approach, “I’m a retired engineer and I base my opinions on real world data.” Rather, I’m going with a gut feel and the opinions of others on the Chevy Sonic Owners…
