I don’t know, here we are 20 years later, and I definitely remembered Affleck’s scene. I just remember it being a big swing and a big, hysterically bad miss on his part. I’ve worked in trading for 25 years now, and that type of guy who thinks he’s a big swinging dick is definitely everywhere, but they all come off as…

Sounds like a perfect candidate for an LS swap. 

“He died flying his Porsche” is a fantastic conversation starter; NP for immortality.

My brother-in-law loves all things F&F. He’s got the movie poster for whatever one has the Datsun 510 framed on his living room wall. There are more than one photo of Paul Walker framed in various places in the house. One of his most prized possessions is the scale licensed model of Brian’s Supra Turbo from F&F I…

Seems more Taco than Tundra, unless the lady in the last image is 8’ tall?

2 Fast 2 Furious. This movie is like the F&F franchise equivalent of Attack of the Clones, not just in that it’s objectively the worst movie in the franchise, but that it’s just a supremely corny, hour and a half long, extremely meme-able caricature of early-2000s car culture. Take everything ridiculous about the…

I think this is a little bit of a logical fallacy. All the things you listed are forms of entertainment, but motorsport is a real-life, in the moment affair, whereas the other two things you mentioned often take place in a fictional universe

Speak for yourself, all I’ve ever wanted was a super pointy room to look at screens in. What could be safer?

Models mentioned in this article: QX60, Q50, QX50, Q60, QX80, QX55

You can pick up a 2020 QX60 with under 5k miles from Hertz for under $30k. It’s a fiercely mediocre car, but that deal is hard to beat.

For me, Siri does a better job finding music- probably due to the Apple Music limitation/integration. Alexa with Spotify sometimes pulls up some odd things (obscure versions, awful covers, completely wrong song that happened to share 1 word with the request, etc.).

These services might eventually eat into console gaming, but streaming 4K/Superultrawide games in HDR at 120fps with no compression artifacting and low-latency?

I still think it’s mostly victimless unless you’re talking large-scale piracy rings where in which, they sell pirated versions of software and games at a severe discount via online and/ or actual physical stores (I’ve found lots of pirated DS games in Chinatown in Chicago).

As a person who’s sole drive was being a…

Yeah I-70 is not bad, it’s great compared to going east of Denver for sure, but those highways have some amazong scenery and are also amazing to drive. I did Torrey to Boulder Utah which is a great twisty road up and over a mountain in my 18 Golf R and traffic that day was almost non existent and it was just about the…

I have to say though that the family plan is pretty nice. I actually have 6 members using it, and I have multiple installs for mine (MBP, surface, work computer). The 1TB drive storage is a nice bonus too. I pirated the shit out of MS office in high school and college, and now as an adult don’t mind paying what I…

Like I said, fuck the United States broadband industry.

They neglect it because it’s a low travel interstate.  Most traffic follows I-70 or I-25.  Add to that, their choice to use concrete instead of asphalt for the surface.  It should be asphalt for the level of traffic it supports, and the stair stepping from freeze/thaw cycles would not be a thing.

Holy shit, am I on The Onion?

Doesn’t always help for instructions, but I usually screenshot an ingredients list so I don’t have to go through the hell of scrolling to it 10 times.

But god help you if you have to go hands-free in the kitchen.
