I didn't mean everyone take auto shop. But changing a tire should be part of life skills or whatever the hell home ec was called.

Home ec was a required class for us in middle school. At no point was anything automotive related required. Hence my point.

Gmail being a separate app on Android is annoying. Frankly it sounds like something Apple would do if they had a public mail service. "You have the good email, oh yeah and those other guys"

How come they taught us how to sew in school but not how to change your oil? Or even just a flat tire?

I think the saying comes from trying something that you only have one chance to try, a spur of the moment thing. Something that may be stupid and dangerous. It has nothing to do with mastering a skill.

Fox news doesn't hate video games, the old farts that watch it do. So of course they will run a story if it makes their viewers say "Yeah those damn kids and their video games" News media is like any other kind of media. The goal is to make people watch, not to tell the news.

From the title of the last article it was made to sound like the guy was hovering over drowning people saying "I'll save you if you give me $1200" I didn't read the article or watch because I assumed hate-mongering was at play there.

News media has always been based on fear-mongering by altering points of view. The modern information age has allowed us easier means of discovering they're full of shit.

Well 10 years. And there other things to build besides mini-figures. Like you know actual walking robots.

Maybe they have changed since I was a kid, but mega bloks had horrible quality. They are supposed to be a building toy, not an action figure playset. I tried taking Mega-Blok sets apart to make something else, but couldn't because of all the specific pieces.

iOS 7's biggest annoyance is the unicorn vomit color scheme. Fix that.

That statement has been uttered a million times with "automatic app updates" being a variable.

Well with many Android phones you can pick a theme for your message app.

Maybe you should hop over to Gizmodo, and read some iPhone news.

Hmm ok but I still see a lot of lazy design. A lot of custom pieces. Like is that Abrams barrel all one piece?

Yeah, they skimp out and make a lot of custom pieces for sets as well.

Mega-Bloks are crap. Very low quality compared to Legos

So is this a kids design contest?

Thank god they taught me how to sew in school.

I may not be able to name ever variant ever made of the 911, but I know I've seen these before. I think I had a cutaway diagram book of one.
