“And I thought they smelled bad... on the outside.” My dreams of being a surgeon died that day. Okay, not really, but still, Han slicing open a very recently deceased Tauntaun and stuffing Luke inside really, really confused 6 year old me.

Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren; And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram; And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon; And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and…

It is probably highly dependent on your commute. If you’re mostly free flowing highway with only a few, short lights, yeah it’s not going to do anything. If your drive has multiple stops of a longer length (a minute or two each), it probably does have a pretty significant effect.

I think intent may play a bit of a role. I would guess the CA kid didn’t have any intent to do anything the woman killed, he was just doing a stupid thing. This kid had intent to actually do something to the cyclists. It turned out worse than he intended, but he went into it with intent.

I’m hoping it is more of a decision of what to charge him with rather than if to charge him. A statement of “We are deciding on charges.” could be interpreted either way.

The total wealth owned by these people is a small fraction of the US debt.

Built in sat nav. Nearly everyone has a phone in their pocket with Google maps (or whatever the fruity comparative is) which is much more user friendly and just as good if not better.

This all day. “Cold” is a relative term. It gets cold in Ohio, but usually not that cold. It gets cold in TX, but usually not that cold. Real cold is when the LCD on the radio doesn’t work well because the L is for liquid and liquids quit when it gets too cold. Real cold is when your properly inflated tires thump for…

We stumbled upon 6 packs of full size Hershey’s bars at our local Cub going for a buck each - SCORE! We came home with 15 of them, which is about 3x as much as we’ll likely need.

I dunno about Golf, but definitely Beetle. It was simple, reliable, easy to fix, and cheap. With 3 wrenches (10, 13, and 17mm) and one flat head screwdriver, you had the ability to loosen/tighten 90% or more of the fasteners used on the entire car.

If I’m reading 1st gear correctly, it basically boils down to this:

Right, but it is called FORDing. You can’t ignore that marketing angle. Toyota and Chevy are probably a little wary of using a word which relies so heavily on a competitor’s name. To say that your Chevy can ford streams, to the average idiot, it kinda looks like you’re claiming the Chevy can now do something that…

That said, museums often don’t feel like the best platform to admire such cars from an enthusiasts perspective.

Dumb, but from a different angle... kid I went to school with got a brand new special order Silverado on his 16th. It was yellow, with a blue leather interior.

No report of decapitation, but similar happened near here on Saturday:

You can either resize the window, or zoom in and it will then list the slides instead. You don’t get the accompanying photos, only the text, but since the photos are generally generic images anyway...

I mostly agree. The biggest factor that makes me hesitate is that, as 9-11 showed, planes can be used as weapons. It isn’t just the people on the plane taking a the risk.

Exactly. They have a choice. It’s a choice between getting vaccinated and keeping their job, or looking for another job that doesn’t require vaccination.
