Easy! Have Llama write a response for you.

Counterpoint: Kia and Hyundai. The same arguments could have been made about them, and probably were, but they are now huge brands in the U.S.

Well, ya know, I’m going to say buying a minivan. Like a lot of people, we got one in the early 90's after our first child was born. Later traded it for a newer, nicer one. There’s nothing as generally useful as a minivan. You can haul a bunch of people, a bunch of things, and even fit a stack of plywood in it and…

The base 2.2L naturally aspirated engine in them made about that same 90hp number. The intercooled turbo version made 175hp.

Well, um, I have two of them currently, ‘87 and ‘89 CSXes, both production number 321 in their respective years (see user name :) ). I’ve owned 5 Shadows/Sundances/CSXes at different times over the years.

He’s Gen X, and younger than me. Don’t forget that we nerdy Gen Xers invented the internet in its modern form. We invented internet memes, too, but they weren’t really accessible to non-tech types until after the advent of the web in the 90s, and I don’t think Ted is a tech type.

Well, this hits very close to home. My dad has been increasingly affected by this for the past couple of years. In a sense I’ve already let him go, because he hasn’t been *himself* for a while. I’m sitting here in the hospital with my mom, waiting for him to come out of surgery. He had a major stroke last week. This…

I’m 57 now, and about 18 months ago I set myself a goal of being able to do one chin-up. I started not being able to raise myself at all! It took maybe 8 weeks until I could do one sloppy one, and a bit longer to be able to do a good one. I’ve worked up to the point where I can now do 3 good ones, and 4 sometimes. New…

A page’s load speed affects an article or site’s search engine rankings, with quickly loading sites appearing higher on Google which prioritizes sites that load in no more than 2.5 seconds.

Even my cheap toaster has a bagel setting, which only toasts one side.

At different times of the year I do that with blackberries and mulberries while I’m mowing.

You never forget your first. I’d still kind of like to have my first car back, a ‘76 AMC Pacer. A car ahead of its time. Mine was blue like this one, but never this shiny.

Ha! Same. The first new car I ever bought was an ‘85 Escort, and while it had serious issues, it was clearly way ahead of my old Chevette.

Give ‘em a break. AI is the only I they have.

Hey from another downstater. Yeah the movement to split the southern part off into a separate state doesn’t seem to realize we would instantly become one of the poorest states.

I feel like Texans who think Blue Bell ice cream is the best have never tasted any other ice cream.

Kroger’s house brand HemisFares has a very good reasonably priced balsamic vinegar option. It’s got some thickness to it, and decent flavor for something that costs a lot less than the real stuff. You can also improve a cheap, thin balsamic vinegar by reducing it down to about half the original volume. You need to…

If you don’t have a kitchen torch but have one in the garage or workshop, it’s perfectly fine to bring it in and use it for this. Nothing of the torch touches the food; you’re just using the flame to melt and caramelize the sugar.

I just tried them for lunch. Warning that if you get them to go, they will be soggy by the time you eat them. I only had to drive down the street back to my office, but they were a soggy mess by then. I mixed the cheese and red sauce, as suggested here, and that was a good call. They weren’t too spicy at all. Very…

It’s incredible the number of murders there are in small quaint British villages.
