I bet it’s tangential, but not a primary cause. The main cause is what makes most things go to shit in a capitalistic society - C-suite idiots chasing this quarter’s profits above every other concern. Cheaper materials used, cheaper labor sought, less attention paid not only to QC, but to the assembly process itself.…

I was trying to think of a subtle way to say this - but I wonder if this is a reflection of the meth /opioid addiction epidemic that has strongly affected Indiana and surrounding states? I was in southern Indiana for work just before the pandemic and the client was telling me that they have over 50% turnover in their…

That doesn’t mean he shouldn’t have been arrested, though. He just showed himself to be extremely dangerous on the road; letting him go drive some more was not the right answer. He should have been arrested, the car impounded, and his parents called to collect him.

This kid needs a baseball bat to the knees.

If you’re old enough/judged responsible enough to drive a vehicle on public roads, you’re old enough/responsible enough to face adult charges for vehicular crimes.

Yes, but then again, I don’t think the story is about the astronomers or the comet. This is going to feel like Idiocracy, just with two smarter Not Sures.

I’m all about QUILTBAG as an easy-to-remember, easy-to-say, all-encompassing acronym.

“You all worship a giant flaming eye?”

My 88 Subaru GL-10 had that but it used the actual AC vent that you could switch between outside and AC. 

Dude, are you cucksplaining me?

Yeah RE the hot air from the vents. Why on so many turbo cars do they have the cabin vents pull air from near the turbo? It’s absurd!

Removable seats, for a picnic.

Had a ‘67 Plymouth Fury that had these. They were two ‘levers’ down on the lower dash on either side of the steering column, and you pulled them out to get the air flowing. Although the car had a working A/C, we rarely used it because the fresh air vents had enough flow to actually cool you off. You could create a…

Bit of a stretch, but it used to be if you bought the base/fleet model of a pickup you got rubber on the floor instead of carpet. This was great because if it got dirty you could just flush the crud right out the door with the hose. 

That was a common feature on cars until a/c became nearly universal. The air came in through the fresh air intake at the base of the windshield, same as for the heater/defroster except the air went straight to the footwell vents and wasn’t routed through the heater plenum. You can thank Nash for the idea of bringing…

My Ventura had the same thing, air came in from the cowl just ahead of the windshield.

This is some breathtaking grift. It threads the needle between “idiots dreaming of a conservative utopia” and “mildly technical Roganbro” beautifully. Chances are that they won’t deliver anything and will disappear into the ether with a few hundred grand. Should the product actually see the light of day, though, it is…

“a device named after cuckolding and that does... something indiscernible no one can figure out.”

“raise nearly $172,000 on crowdfunding site Indiegogo”

That’s what it does.  That’s all it does.

I loved how Norm could take incredibly dark subject matter and make it very straight-forward, even if it was from his personal life.

During Chris Farley’s final SNL appearance, he was an out-of-control nightmare behind-the-scenes. Tina Fey’s first thought when she met him for the first time was, “This guy’s gonna…
