RE: Over-the-top coverage: Is the British-ness over the top or is the delivery of the coverage itself over the top? I find both to varying degrees. The F1TV commentators, while working out of something that looks like a tarted-up podcast studio, put together a show that is more informative and much lighter on ‘ROUND…

The main drag near my old apartment needed 4-5 over the limit to keep riding the green wave. 

I lived on the same block as an orange SX4 in South Carolina.
I moved 500 miles away.
I still live on the same block as an orange SX4.
What the hell.

That’s a thing of beauty. 

I think it’s just part of not having the whole context of the language- when I lived in Germany, both schoolkids and musicians were extremely fond of the English f-bomb, and it just didn’t seem to have they weight that it does to most native English speakers. There were a lot of songs I wanted to play for classes here…

I’ve driven a Fit on multiple trips across 3 states, and it’s not bad. It isn’t great- more than anything, I would like more torque and a comfier seat- but visibility is good, ride is decent, efficiency is very good, and space is unbeatable.

FWIW, my two points of comparison are a 3rd Gen Prius and an NA Miata, so…

This “Jumble of contrasting rectangles” architectural direction is getting to me. I can’t tell if this is a Starbucks, a VC-funded brewpub, or an REI. Wait...it’s a car dealership? 

That hits close to home XD

I’ve seen 2 Bronco Sports, but no full-size Broncos.

I’m missing something, but then I’m reading this a few hours after publishing: The only mention of the word “friend” here is in a direct quote from SCG’s Tweet. Where is the author citing a friend?

Glad to hear somebody’s trying to pick on the hypocrisy of the NCAA from a position of power.

On Booker’s credentials, though, why try to cite something as generic as “he went to a D1 school and grew up near another” as a qualification when the fact that he played football at Stanford is omitted? Hundreds of thousands…

“Supra doesn’t offer the value-per-dollar that it should, and the looks push it over the edge to “no-sale” for many. Controversial looking is not gorgeous, even if a few happen to like the styling... many do not. A sports car that isn’t easy on the eyes is a drawback.”

I agree, but in the market it’s not always the…

I haven’t driven an 86 or a Supra...but I’m not sure how you could call either “botched.” “Not perfect” is hardly a hack job. The 86 could have more power? Well...the Miata could have had more power for nearly 30 years but people still love it and they sold a literal million of them, and the Viper had gobs of power…

That has absolutely happened to me- I asked maybe three dumb questions and played coy and he lost his shit and said he’d murder my family and burn my house down.
That said, being poor and/or doing a job you know is shitty/shifty is prone to make one irritable. They do deserve to at least be thought of as people,…

A lot of them are now doing something, I presume like the phone version of a VPN, that makes a bunch of spam calls show up as local numbers. It’s hard to tell what’s a coworker, neighbor, or similar that isn’t in my phone book and what’s a spam call that caller ID thinks is local. 

As a three-time attendee, I agree. 

They’re insane and far too bright. We actually first got them around my neck of the woods with campus police. LEDs stuck everywhere, bright as a blue sun, flashing rapidly. I drive to work when it’s still dark out, and if I ever see one it blots out everything but the brightest signs and signals in my surroundings. 

Saw some fantastic electronic sign messages on 95 recently:
Camp in VA State Parks, Not the Left Lane. 

“All V-Bucks purchased on one platform MAY not be redeemable on other platforms.” Maybe there are some combinations that don’t work? Or that this has been phased in or out at various times?

I see what you mean, but in stat-speak, this is called small-sample bias. “I’ve never flipped a car, and neither has my wife or brother.” Sadly, there are tens of millions of drivers and there are a lot of unlikely scenarios that can result in a car being upside-down. With enough drivers on the road, even unlikely…
