I learned more my first few months on the job than I learned in school. Still, you need what you learned in school to get to that point in the first place. Anyway, it takes years to learn the whole software development process at your company, so don't worry - just learn it. You didn't waste money on your education…

Gee, I wonder how much it would cost to purchase the "Tucker" brand name. I would just love to see the 21st Century version of the three-headlighted car from 1948.

Our '09 Corolla (yeah, I know, Beigemobile) is the base model with manual door locks. I locked the keys inside like a dumbass (actually, we did it, because my wife refused to even carry her keys when I'm driving, but whatever), in Southie - south Boston, Mass. A couple of Southie experts tried to slim-Jim the lock,…

I thought myth #5 was started by the beverage industry to get people to buy more bottled water.

Or, it was one of those awful Detroit machines made in the early to mid eighties. They all did that, and there was f*** all you could do about it, other than feed it high-octane gas.

If you have one of those cars that knock and ping on regular, yes you will get better mileage on premium. That knocking and pinging is energy that isn't going toward moving the pistons up and down, just making a bunch of noise and causing the whole machine to vibrate, making it less efficient. Same goes for those…

So did they save a bunch of that weight by replacing the spare tire with a repair kit?

And I'm sure the reason you don't use it in the car is because most car stereos with iPod-ready interfaces suck donkey balls in some critical way.

The term "liberal" implies a certain open-mindedness that many members of PETA lack.

Last I checked, they thought the mere idea that we would take animals into our homes as PETS was abhorrent (we think of our cats more as roommates, but whatever). Oh, and keeping a CARNIVORE such as a cat or a dog in your house and feeding it meat because, uh, they're CARNIVORES and they need meat to live? OMFG! …

Not just methanol, but butanol, propanol, and a few others. It's what you get for drinking cheap booze.

Used topically, that might be true. It's great for cleaning all kinds of stuff. Taken internally, on the other hand, it's quite a different story. I have felt as if I had a nasty cold on many occasions the morning after having too much to drink, so I know what OP is talking about. So yeah, booze lowers your…

In NY, it meant that our (former) governor was blind. Yes, orange and blue are our state colors, and those particular shades were supposed to be reminiscent of New York's past (one in which people like Karl Malden made gritty cop movies with New York City as a backdrop while driving shitty Malaise-era cars), but…

And no longer roadworthy, which was my point.

Or just down south until the snow melts.

But only during the winter. From May to November, they're holding up traffic Upstate.

They're probably insisting that you get those ugly-ass orange plates this time.

And is probably going 35 in a 55 with the left blinker on.

Anyone over 60 should have to prove he or she is still competent to drive. And that includes the pitiful excuse of a road test we have here. Every three years. Start it below Social Security eligibility, and the olds will have less reason to bitch. Their rattletrap rustbuckets should also be inspected. …

What if you know how to drive stick (very well, in my case), but prefer a nice, comfortable sedan with automatic transmission.
