On the other hand, most of the time the BAC test happens after you fail the impairment test. It’s a rare (never) thing where you drive perfectly, get pulled over anyway, pass a field-sobriety test, but the mean cop decides to arrest you and force you to submit to a BAC test anyhow.

On Subarus these are the ubiquitous “Why the hell are those lights on?” lights that drive new owners crazy.

Yep. Best analogy for anyone who’s never tried Biathlon is to go run a set of stairs and around the block. Not a jog, a full run, for at least 8-1o minutes. Then immediately stop and try to thread a needle.

Other massive correction re: Sweeping.

Fair enough. Won’t stop us from coming back, though.

Yes, “InstantRIP” is a fabulous feature, and goes a long way towards making sure I buy a good chunk of my physical music media from Amazon.

Ripping (copying or transcoding) a CD or DVD you own, strictly for your own personal use, is a Fair Use exemption to the DMCA. Even the RIAA is forced to admit as such on their own website: (though they obviously word it in a roundabout way, so as to avoid committing to this position in case they can change the law…

Aww, you’re killing me. Montreal has an underground?!!?!

And Fusions, apparently?

So they’re smuggling pizzas. Got it.

Where are these cars manufactured?

The primary place items like this are an advantage would be in places like Anza Borrego State Park, where you can have a fire anywhere you like, but it MUST be in a metal container and OFF the ground. (There’s an ecosystem just under the crust of the desert sand and the heat kills it for several feet, hence this…

Your list of bikes also points to the other big problem: No diversity in the HD lineup.

Nailed it. I like the 996 a lot. I still sort of aspire to owning one, someday. Mechanically, it’s a wonderful thing, and the design of the outside has aged well. But hot-damned was Porsche making some fugly interiors at the time.

Agreed.

It was a sub-plot that was left out of the Affleck film, probably because the “main bad guys” are totally different in the movie. In the book, the plot is conducted by PLF terrorists (upset about impending peace in the middle east, of all things!), rather than a German neo-Nazi and a rogue Russian general.

For you Clancy fans, this is the sort of reaction that happened in the Jack Ryan novel The Sum of All Fears.

Yes, and as noted, that ratio for Basmati (2c rice, 3c H20) is WAAAAY too wet. Even at 2:2 (or 1:1), my rice is coming out sticky. Thanks for posting the page, but my lament is that the sealed/pressure aspect definitely complicates the math.

That’s just what they want you to think!

I’ve been cursed by the gods of cubicle placement. With the poor design of our air management system, I can safely store meat at my desk, and the hotter it is outside, the colder it gets.
