For a complete poor beginner with no access to a manual anything, how should I go about learning to drive a manual?

I described the show to my friends this exact same way! I thought it was just so wonderful and soft and kind, and I have been converting all of my friends to this and then to “I’ll Have What Phil’s Having”. Thank you for highlighting this joy of a human being.

My grandpa was obsessed with Cadillacs. Eldorados, to be specific. I think that he had this idea that to own a Cadillac was a way of saying that he had made it. He had three, a maroon ‘81, an ‘82 whose color was lovingly referred to as “titty pink”, and a blue ‘83, which ended up being my older sister’s first car.

There was the one that had waffle cone pieces with caramel and chocolate chunks and it was legit. The waffle cone pieces were always fresh and since I don’t mess around, they didn’t have time to get soggy in the vanilla soft-serve.

*flat support meeting drone* Hi Brian.

Maggie Stiefvater would disagree with you on that one. That said, I want to see the two of you and Stef in a YouTube video discussing all things cars.

Came down here just to say this.

This is amazing.

I agree with you 100%. I’ve rarely bothered to ever use unsalted over salted. In anything. Ever. Who cares if it’s the “proper” way to do things. Salt makes things delicious, including and especially cookies. I need to make these ASAP.

When I turned 16, my birthday present was a $500 ‘91 Cavalier. It shook like crazy idling at a light, as well as at interstate speeds, but it drove just fine, especially for a first car. I wasn’t really into cars just yet, but my dad and I got it outfitted for a 16 year old (a sweet 6 CD changer, new speakers, and…

As a youth librarian who has been debating on whether or not to get a Switch for her department, well done, Nintendo. Though I might wait for the (assumed) cartridge for the games and a third party company to make a plastic version of the cardboard pieces for durability’s sake. We had the same problem with Google…

That’s how it’s kind of supposed to work, but really, whoever came to a full stop first gets to go first. If you can both go without hitting one another, you can both go. If somebody’s timid, you wave at them to go, and if they don’t go, you can go.

THANK YOU. I own several, and I use them for the light wrenching I do, craft projects, hell, I use one for painting my nails in my poorly lit apartment. All hail the headlamp!

You’re not wrong. The only time that place wasn’t packed to the gills was Sunday. People would line up in the drive-up before they even opened in the morning. Maybe “compete” is the wrong word. “Mildly inconvenience” maybe.

That’s really interesting, because the two Popeye’s I have frequented both had customer service that was so nice that I actually told people about it afterwards. Every single time I visited. Of course, the one in the town I just left was built literally next door to a Chik-fil-A, so they had some competition.

Agreed. I went to see it opening weekend because I was promised an Ocean’s level heist with NASCAR and fun characters. Instead, we got a stereotype-ridden snooze fest. Daniel Craig was the best part of that movie, just because he seemed like he was having so much fun.

Thanks to climate change, we get maybe two or three snow events and a handful of sleet/rain days in the winter now. Where winter tires would have been a no-brainer even five years ago, now it’s mostly dry and cold. Still, I can’t see the future. It could be blizzard central this year. I have no idea what tires to put…

Even if any of these cars looked cool (which they don’t really), or offered dynamic driving experiences (most reviews for dd electrics can be summed up with a big meh), there is zero infrastructure here in the rural midwest for electric cars. Zero charging stations anywhere. Even if I wanted a full electric car just…

See, I thought that they were the vanilla cookies just dyed to look like the chocolate ones. I tasted the cookie separately, and it didn’t taste quite the same as the originals.

I actually really liked them. I opened them and breathed in that Flintstones branded scent and immediately went, “They’re freaking Fruity Pebbles!”
