Were you my neighbor over 10 years ago that gave me a hard time for working on my pristine old Porsche in my driveway? Do you still have your crapcan of a Corolla with the peeling paint?

You know what I want next to my home? Nothing. I want nothing anywhere near me. HOWEVER, if I choose to live in suburbia, then I accept that I’m going to have to live with other peoples’ choices about what happens on their property. If I choose to live in the city, then I accept that I will have a certain level of…

I do have an amateur garage next to my house. The guy who rents it has two Gen 2 RX-7 drift cars that he works on. Nobody minds as long as he’s not revving the heavily modified, unmuffled monsters all night long. Really, nobody cares.

....You realize you posted this comment on a website dedicated to reporting the news to the exact type of people who would open such a garage, right?

Fun little detail: These Superformance cars aren’t exactly replicas. The GT40's lineage from Ford to this is traceable; this is a continuation of the original design with proper rights and continuity along the way.

You know their response would be:

Mentally unstable, drug addicted mother that goes in and out of jail was such a better option. *rolls eyes*

You know, at first I was in agreement with ezacharyk about the police just leaving instead of engaging the woman; it never occurred to me (even though I did read the article fully) in that moment that her four (4!!!) children were in the home with her while she was totally unstable and brandishing knives. Like my…

So let’s follow that concept to it’s logical conclusion - the officers leave a woman, who escalated within two minutes and actively went toward the officers within the 21-foot “kill zone” (and Mythbusters has shown this isn’t even enough). That leaves a woman with two knives in an altered state of consciousness and…

Good thing ‘the police’ isn’t some singular entity but is comprised of individuals with personal motivations and emotions and funnily enough some of them do actually want to protect people.

To be clear, you are advocating that the police leave a woman with a history of mental illness, brandishing two knives, while extremely agitated, alone with 3 children?

She was unstable, carrying sharp items and had young children with her - deescalating the situation by leaving just puts the kids at risk.

they can’t do that when she has potential victims inside the premise. If they left and she murdered her children they would be responsible.

The way people give such massive weight to the price of gas when they’re otherwise buying new, premium cars is always amusing to me.

After breaking down the numbers, I never understood why a $0.50/gallon price increase for premium can affect someone’s decision on which car to buy. Assuming the average driver goes 12K miles per year and the average car gets 20 MPG combined, this would only cost you an extra $300 per year which comes to about…

So, would a thermistor or a thermocouple be the best to measure the temperature of this burn?

In which case: Hey, Lily: nice plagiarism! I get that 90% of the ex-Gawker Empire exists as reposts of other’s content, but have the decency to stick it in a quote box so as not to appear that you’re claiming their words as your own.

Maybe its because the article was poorly copy and pasted from a Weather Channel article published last week.
