You’re not officially old and irrelevant until you celebrate your 55th birthday. Then you fall outside the 35-54 demographic. Beyond that you’re only relevant to adult diaper companies. Unless you’re Bernie Sanders.

So, you need to get carbon into the used cement so it can cure again. It would be carbon neutral and perfect if a catalytic process + energy grabbed CO2 out of the air, and created water as a byproduct.

First gear: I guess I won’t be buying another Focus when I’m done with the one I’ve got. We have a rule in our house since the PT Cruiser that the cars we buy have to be assembled in the US. My Focus ST and my wife’s Outback fit that bill.

Flint, Detroit and numerous other locations in the US, could really use an…

There may be a way to chemically treat the concrete when it’s ground to dust, so it regains the ability to cure once again. It would be convenient if it was cheap, and involved removing CO2 from the atmosphere.

Sanders supporters sure are trying to make up for the fact that his campaign doesn’t have Madeline Albright telling young women that they should burn in hell for voting for him.

Everyone except the people who were born here. Which is most of the people here.

Good point.

If gravity waves are traveling at the speed of light, are they also particles?

Low gas prices leading to more trucks on the road, leading to more fatalities between those vehicles and smaller ones? People driving more miles? Texting while driving increasing instead of decreasing? People posting to Waze while driving?

This is LA. It has been 20 years since we’ve had a football team. Few people from here watch football, which is why the NFL is really hot right now to get a team or teams here. The only people who watch football in LA came from someplace else.

When we had a football team, if you went to an amusement park, it was…

I don’t think so. It doesn’t really seem to be his style. But then, it didn’t seem to be Bernie Sander’s style, until now.

My wife will appreciate your effort. I, on the other hand, know the two true perfect alcoholic beverages that go with any Girl Scout Cookie, are White Russians, and Bailey’s Irish Cream.

Sheldon’s problem is that he is a sociopath and being a human being is an acting exercise. He’s a nice sociopath, not a potential killer, but empathy is not natural for him. He has to learn it like learning to act in a play, and he has to pull emotional reactions from a repertoire like the T1 had to pick reactions…

Thanks, Big Bang Theory, for reminding us that nerds are only nerds because we’re too socially awkward to have sex with other people!

It’s more like conservatives in Iowa are told repeatedly that white people shouldn’t be giving money to black people. Or white trash, which is largely but not quite the same thing to them. Dark money PACs put things on the air that we don’t see in the rest of the country, and in speeches where media isn’t present, the…

This is incorrect. I had an ‘82 Celica and it was RWD. I think it was RWD until ‘85.

I think Cadillac’s attempt to capitalize on the smarmy, entitled, douchebag market was a serious marking miscalculation.

The ELR was an attempt to make a profitable version of the Volt, and amortize the development costs. But Tesla made a car that looks like a Maserati, and literally goes where no other fully electric…

CUVs can be pretty fuel efficient. The ones we were looking at all got between 30 and 33 mpg, and had city values in the 23-26 mpg range. We wound up with an Outback, which gets 26/33.

The casting I really wanted for Top Gear US before they actually announced the cast, was Matt LeBlanc, Jay Leno and either Jerry Seinfeld or Adam Corolla. As a holds all bars cheap, discount version of the UK show, that was out of the question.

Nah, this is the US market. They’ll rename it “Celica”.
