Better yet, buy a phone from a company that doesn't patent troll and require every single accessory to be proprietary.

You need power due to poor aerodynamics. If it wasn't for drag, you wouldn't need any power at all to maintain any speed.

You enjoy it. All that fatigue turns into strength and endurance. As soon as you figure that out, you love the burn.

NYPD has gotta be the most incompetent police force in the Union.

Sweet nonaC camera.

I was going to yell at you for not mentioning Notepad++, then I saw it was Windows only. WTF?

Who thinks to call the media before an exterminator?

They disappeared with the carb. EFI completely changed how air induction happened, because now fuel metering is separate from air metering.
