Same reason there aren't that many female gamers. I'm sure those who do play video games have the sort of nice, slender fingers combined with good manual dexterity, and a superior ability to focus instead of talk trash, to just utterly kick all our butts. But they don't want to because they (as a group, not…

Corner lot?

I always wanted a deuce and a half. You know, for runs to Lowe's.

0. The number one rule of winter driving is to avoid it whenever possible. If you don't absolutely have to make a beer run right now when it's snowing so hard you can't see, don't. Wait until the plow trucks have done their jobs, at least.

Some people have very short driveways. Mine is 175 feet long, and since we live in way-upstate NY, we get around 10 feet of snow a year, so getting by with only a shovel is not an option.

What I would really be interested in is a hybrid lawn tractor. We live near Syracuse, New York - the snowiest metro area in the Lower 48. Ten feet of snow fall here in a typical year, and yet I use maybe three gallons of gas per season to clear a 175 foot driveway. In the summer, my lawn tractor uses that in less…

Just stop crushing the damned glass bottles and reuse them. They do this in Germany, or at least they did when I lived there in the 80s.

It helps that it doesn't really weigh anything. If you look at the photo with the walk-through doors open, you see what I mean. Put wings on that sucker, and it would probably fly.

Dang. Is your company looking for software engineers?

And annual checkups fall under that category. Still, if you're paying for a lot of stuff yourself, shouldn't your premiums be a LOT lower, instead of just a few crumbs?

You think New Jersey is a nanny state? Go back on your meds, I beg you.

Especially if you started around 2000 or so. You probably did OK with relatively small amounts of money up until the idiot from Crawford went to Washington. Most people's earnings on the stock market were pretty much flat over the duration of Dumbya's "presidency."

Was that a Polack joke? Es war fast so lustig als der shimmel auf mein Brot.

No, but that's not the point. If you don't see it, that's not my problem.

My father in law was a veteran of the Wehrmacht. When do I get my Nazi flag plate?

I rented it once from Netflix. I just had to see what a really, really, truly awful movie was like, and this one lived up to its billing - big time. Plot holes big enough to drive the Starship Enterprise through, absolutely dreadful acting, an even worse story, but really bitchin' music videos. That's the way to…

Even better. They should never have gotten rid of these. At least as cool as the California "sunset" plate from upthread.

OK, I'll qualify that, because European women apparently can too drive sticks. American women, on the other hand, uh, generally do not.

It's not sexist. It's like saying women have boobs. Merely stating the obvious. They have boobs, and most of them can't drive manuals.

Drive an old pickup truck, like Sam Walton did.
