I grew up in a small town in rural NC, and unmanned stalls were a common sight along country roads down there. Many people had what they called their "garden", which would rival complete farms I have seen in rural France or Germany. They were huge, and they usually produced more than the homeowners could even get…

Thanks for posting this! I was wondering how to do this. I just bought my gift membership , and followed the steps to have it delivered a few days before mine expires! Much appreciated!

I actually had a professor in Circuit Analysis 101 who assigned a lab involving this very issue as our first lab of the year. Basically, we were told to measure a voltage at a certain point in a circuit - once with an analog meter, and once with a digital meter. I was the only one who got it right. The question was…

My mothers funeral was nearly as traumatic as this one. My parents attended a Catholic Church in a small town, dad went there for 29 years before his death, and my mom attended for 40 years. When she died, the priest originally rejected performing her funeral outright. His first response was "No". Because she died the…

Yes, I would have asked my dad for help as well, and he would have told me to hire a reputable financial advisor and a second independent auditor to watch over the money manager. Most people would have no clue how to deal with money on this scale, and unless your parents are already extremely wealthy, they are not…

Amen to that! I dodged a full damn box of ammo on my way to finally getting married!

I saw a quote from a Sheriff in a very rural county in Idaho (IIRC) who recently used Homeland Security funds to purchase a war surplus armored vehicle and SWAT gear for his tiny department. He said "Well, once you have this stuff, you're going to want to use it", or something very similar. So, when you are dealing…

Fortunately, this seems to be more prevalent among whit, mid to upper class teens and 20-something's. If there were poorer minorities involved, there would already be a body count. It is sad to say, but it is true.

That is now one broke ass idiot, who is probably still driving around with a $500/month payment and a badly damaged truck that he can't afford to fix.

Years ago, I dated a girl who had a tradition of going to dinner with her parents on Sunday evenings. After a few dates, I was asked to join her for her Sunday dinner out with her parents. We met them at the restaurant, and her father, who had what my wife calls a "punch me face", made a pissy comment about us being 5…

I honestly did not see the huge amount of shit you caught for this! I was on my phone, and just posted a reply. It looks like you have caught more than your fair share of shit over this, and probably had no idea it would blow up this badly. I feel your pain. Sooo, thanks for the pic! I sorta figured Jimmy Hendrix has…

He definitely found a unicorn here. Now, find a last gen Supra Turbo that has not been molested and jacked up with giant intercoolers, larger turbos, and any number of auxiliary controllers to make all of it work, and you will have a mid to late 90's dream garage.

This was to plug in portable CD players which were definitely on the market, and they were the shit to have back then. It was a cheap, easy, and theft resistant way to add a CD player to your car, and manufacturers did accommodate them. I had one in my first Eclipse, which had this exact stereo.

"Notorious" is not even the right word. If I owned one, I would fucking BRAG about how much gas it was sucking down! Even then, I would be jealous of how much more a Bugatti Veyron manages to guzzle at full throttle.

It may look even better with some decent photos. If you are going to write an article about having a hard-on for plastic design elements in a car, it would be a good idea to post some decent pics, and not some small, extreme close ups that you have to scan a few times to figure out what you are looking at. Maybe a…

To be fair, I would not want to be on the road with Atlanta drivers with a 1/4 inch of snow on the ground. They are all either terrified, or overly confident because they have all wheel drive or an SUV, and will tailgate the shit out of you and/or pass you at nearly normal highway speeds. Charlotte is very similar. I…

They also said that they were going to hesitate to shoot people because they no longer feel that their boss, the mayor, has their back in use of force cases (they really did say this!) which again, this is exactly what the protesters have been asking for! This is just how out of touch with reality they have become. I…

The fact that they DEMANDED an apology is absolute bullshit. Where the fuck did they get the idea that they could demand an apology? Then they lied about getting an apology. It just shows how out of touch they are with the way many members of the public feel about the police now. The self entitlement of these assholes…

I realize this is an old comment, but I stumbled on this post searching for something else. The whole Camera+ and Camera Plus thing is worse than you noticed. There are a ton of apps that try to play off of the name. I guess both of these apps are successful enough for other app developers to try to get sales by…

I can tell you why - a screaming loud bike goes flying past so close that you can see the riders eye color. While many will at list off the gas for a second or two to determine WTF just happened, many, many more will hit the brakes. I never knew lane splitting was legal in CA until I drove there for the first time 3…
