I’ve got a 2009 Jetta TDI and I’m getting rid of the sumbitch before I need to replace the DPF. I’m super curious to see what everyone else is doing. Volkswagen is hoping to god that people will choose the fix, but I just can’t understand why anyone would with the amounts they’re willing to give us. Any TDI owners out…

Yeah, skip step one. For some odd reason mine did the same thing and I was able to skip ahead.

I’m pretty sure Tim Kaine is also Teb from Galaxy Quest.

Dairy can be left on a shelf if it's pasteurized and sealed up. It's bacteria that causes it to go bad. It's the same thin they do for the little half and half cups that every office has in a room temp bowl for days.

I definitely would have had Final Fight, Streets of Rage, or even go back as far as River City Ransom. There was a glut of side scrolling fighters in the 90's. Here’s how old I am, I used to play Streets of Rage for hours on end on my Sega Game Gear. Look it up kids, it was a thing. Where are my Worthers Originals?…

Holy crap, the value of the total for my Jetta is going to be $30 less than what I paid for the car. That’s some restitution for ya!

Flight of the Conchords would be 100% worth it

Your sister site, Gizmodo had some winners too. Off the top of my head I remember “Pumpkin Flavored Arsenic Marshmallow” “Burnt Sienna Businessman”, “GOP presidential candidate and sack of rotting tangerines” “GOP candidate and angry sweet potato” “sentient sack of millions of spiders” Really it’s just Kate Knibbs,…

Vanguard target funds are basically made out of VTSAX, VBTLX, and possibly one of their international index funds. You’re paying Vanguard to bundle them together for you so the expense ratio is higher. Picking your own asset allocation and selecting the very same funds that the target accounts are made out of will…

Bear in mind, VTSAX has a $10k minimum. If you’re looking at Vanguard for an IRA, you will only be able to invest $5500 year one if you’re not rolling something over, so you’ll want the Investor Shares version VTSMX. Also, VBMFX is the Investor share of their total bond market. A mix of the two neatly covers most (if…

Now you all need to make T-shirts with these pictures on them and wear them around the office.

Addendum

Also good is it’s spicy cousin puttanseca or “spaghetti made by a whore”. It’s similar in the way you make it but you add capers and possibly oregano instead of parsley. I make mine as spicy as an arribiata, but the capers add a nice salty note that arrabiata doesn’t have.

Pull ups and chin ups are always in my routine. If you need a cheap way to do them buy this:

You may have missed it but Jimmy Olsen was in fact in the movie also, per your reference to him. He was introduced without a name and immediately shot in the head in the “Lois and Superman in the desert for some reason scene.”

There’s only one real white devil

Don’t forget the infuriating amount of random battles in Xenogears. If it’s not mentioned and someone goes to play it, they may saw their own hands off in anger. That would be on you.

Ugh. I worked selling electronics in Saugus on RT 1 for years. The area isn’t as bad as it used to be, but the stores in the area attract the worst of humanity. My store was broken into at least three times. Once by someone driving their car over the curb from Rt 1 and into the store. It’s a wretched hive of scum and…
