Not entirely true. Intersecting freeways fit the profile, and the access roads being blocked from egress to the intersecting freeway back up the intersecting freeway in a similar manner in the greater LA metroplex. It’s gridlock on a vast scale if you look at the Google maps during rush hour (which starts before 4pm).

N…

Sorry to hear that you’re a new resident. Unless you locate yourself near LA’s railed transit and get a job near the railed transit, you are so hosed.

Also, see that big daily 405 traffic jam? Look for all of the proposals to build rail as an alternative. Just kidding. There are none except for one small section…

When you get traffic in San Diego, it does not seem to be dramatically different behaviorally. There’s just less of it, and you don’t spend as much time in it on a given trip as in LA.

If it wasn’t like that every single day at 5:30, I’d be more likely to appreciate the artistic beauty of this.

I’m on the side of “You have conflicting specifications.” This is a job for two different vehicles. You can get a used Camaro SS for your toy needs for about $14K. Spend the rest on a used SUV.

Southwest at least runs itself like a bus with wings. I appreciate the boarding and deplaning speeds. Lowered expectations means less expectation failure.

Not the people I know who self medicate. But then they have to pre-game since they don’t serve their kind of medication at airport terminals.

You guys really should be cruising the Westside east of Overland. Just stand for an hour at Olympic and Sepulveda and you’ll see a crazy assortment of cars you only see on car shows on TV.

Well, at least we can guess that you can put shaped cooling fins on the bottom and use a radiated IR photon engine to increase efficiency from the EM Drive.

I also wonder if you get more thrust from this rig or using a maser as an electromagnetic drive at the same power levels.

Neutral:

Musk is an old school tycoon. Like the guys who pushed the railroad to places where there were hardly any people yet. Or the aerospace tycoons. Like the guys who inspired the creation of Lex Luthor and Tony Stark.

No horror story, just a severe case of expectation failure.

Ten years ago, my wife bought an optioned up manual PT Cruiser. It was practical and kind of fun to drive with a stick. Then I rented a PT Cruiser with a manual. Never had I been in a car so thoroughly ruined by an automatic. It seemed like it took a half hour…

Every instict of Republicans in general, is to do the exact opposite of what they should do. And Trump would respond by not lifting a finger, because he’s spiteful and California resoundingly didn’t vote for him.

LA traffic finally broke my wife. After almost 30 years of manuals, she bought a CVT Outback. She doesn’t mind it.

I’ll give up my stick shift when I have a BEV that has 300+ lb-ft of torque no matter how fast I’m going. I’d be amused by a six speed on an electric, but it would be kind of stupid and ridiculous.…

As much as they already violate our privacy, it’s all in the service of a modernized “direct mail” operation. As an advertiser, the info we can get is not on people, but on demographics and interests. Which is much the same type of choice we’d have with direct mail, but a little more granular.

Anyway, that’s what…

Shhhh. We’re not supposed to ever pull the curtain back on religion. Religion is protected by the First Amendment, lack of religion is not.

Disney’s Indiana Jones ride opened in 1995. The most recent sequel to it was 1989.

Radiator Springs opened in 2012. Cars came out in 2006.

This is just how long it takes, and banking on the top grossing movie of all time worldwide is probably a pretty good bet. Pretty sure people haven’t forgotten it.

Facebook is a big believer in providing the truthiness its users want.

This is absolutely a blast. Totally the right way to raise a kid :)

Evolution never starts from scratch. It always starts from the known and morphs from there.
