I’m in. Watched this last night, and we would definitely give the series a go. Thought the Rob Stark lead actor was great — carried the show on his shoulders, really. Otherwise the pace felt a little like one of those patented slow-moving police shows the BBC keeps pumping out. But a really nice job conjuring the…

Love these guys.

ABC now says the part about Hillary email-gate stuff being on there was wrong.

Does seem like the kind of intersection where you might put one of those yellow reflective <=> signs emphasizing the “left or right only” nature of the “T” to make it more obvious at night. Otherwise you can pretty much expect this kind of thing.

It’s the mix of smugness and ignorance that make this magic. So much arch pontificating and “So, you see”s from someone who thinks all car engines are “V-somethings.”

No one who mails me a car key that “might” win a prize, or a wallet full of toy money (more common that one would think) will ever see me in their dealership.

I guess I’ll root for this car on general principle, but Honda’s about 15 years past its golden age of pocket rockets. After the DC4/5 Integras (and to a lesser extent the K20-equipped Civic Si) they just seemed to lose all passion to innovate.

Those jokes would be funnier if VTEC was a crappy system, rather than a groundbreaking performance technology now found throughout the automotive world (even if it didn’t make 1.8 liter I-4s faster than V8s), yo.

We need to just issue a standing apology to the world at large for electing a pack of malicious imbeciles to run our country.

I know it’s been mentioned sporadically, but it seems like it should be a more concrete separate concern that Trump, POTUS, made a public, worldwide accusation of criminal conduct by the previous POTUS, based on a conspiracy theory invented out of whole cloth by a known nut speaking on Fox.

Not comparable numbers. Obama took one vacation that cost taxpayers about $4 million and Republicans screamed about his profligate spending.

Is it really any more risk-inducing than a 290 hp sedan though?

“two adults and two kids?”

Maybe the reality we inhabit is inherently circumscribed by our ability to describe it?

Nipping puppies are a different proposition from an attack. We have a boisterous little guy at home, and what works most is simply not tolerating it. He’s trying to play but is also working on some dominance-centered social skills. Making an “Ow!” or similar noise works, because it’s how dogs socialize each other. Or…

It would have to be complicated. A lot of people are sufficiently poor that they should not pay any tax at all. Would they have to prove their income level at the retail level to be exempt, stigmatizing them every time they bought something? Or save all their receipts and apply for a refund? The big draw would be…

One problem with the Alex Jones brand of malicious insanity peddling is that it provides an easy basis for dismissal of anyone talking about the nearly equally crazy real things happening.

Sales taxes are problematic as well. Among other things, it discourages spending, which is a primary driver of the economy.

I got none of this garbage when I bought my GTI last year, so I was taken by surprise when we went to an out-of-town dealership to shop for my wife’s Alltrack. They had the right color combo in the right trim level and were advertising a solid discount on their internet ad. With the VW loyalty discount, we were…

Are these any fun to drive? Seems like a decent package — maybe a little tight inside with all the road clearance. Not bad-looking at all though.
