Does insurance rates account for vehicle size? The chances that a driver will cause serious damage or injury is going to be significantly higher if they are driving a huge pickup truck instead of a smaller vehicle. I would expect that insurance companies have to pay more for an accident involving a larger vehicle than…

The current generation F-150 shift lever with the fold down function to make room for the flip over “work surface” center arm rest. Why not use the rotary shift selector like Ram trucks instead of adding this additional failure point?

I believe “RTFA” means “read the f**king article.” I did. The article simply states that “Production has resumed after being paused temporarily because of a supplier parts concern.” My question is what type of “supplier parts concern” would cause Ford to shut down production for a week NOW when they’ve been selling…

1st Gear: I wonder what happened with the F150 to make them stop production for a week? They’ve been de-contenting the F-150 for the last several years (due to the chip shortage I think) and I’ve heard of numerous quality issues with the trucks (and other Ford vehicles for that matter) over the past several years. It…

It usually isn’t free unless the overheads have already reached capacity. I’m not sure what you consider MONSTER roller bags to be but the airlines are usually pretty strict with the size.

People who put their small carryons in the overhead bin. There are two categories of this: the people that only have a small carryon and put it in the overhead rather than under the seat in front of them; and the people that put both their roll aboard AND their “small personal item” in the overhead space. In my…

I was in tears when the string ripped off of Jamie’s dick. The look on Roy’s face, waiting to see if Jamie’s dick was ripped off too, was priceless!

I don’t have a problem with this. It certainly seems like this kid knows what he is doing. I’ve got to imagine his dad offered him lots of training/instruction before this video was made. And the kid is driving on a closed track. The most likely worst-case scenario is the kid wrecks into a barrier. From a danger…

Tom, aren’t the new FTC rules supposed to eliminate a lot of this crap? When are those rules going into effect?

I’m happy to hear that they’ve really thought out the overall arc. I don’t hate on the Star Wars sequel trilogy too much, but it’s very clear there wasn’t a plan from one movie to the next, and the movies suffered for that reason.

This has been my chief complaint for a while. I can appreciate all the movies and the shows for what they are. But for a franchise set in a galaxy far, far away, they have managed to make that galaxy feel very small by focusing on a relatively small group of characters. There should literally be billions of…

Overall, I liked the finale. As a father, I choked up during Jack’s speech about collecting little moments. I think there was also a lesson for all of us in the montage of parents pushing their kids on the swings - we are all capable of creating those little moments. They don’t have to be grand gestures to be…

I largely agree that this is a blameless situation between Toby and Kate; they are simply growing apart. Yet, there were some anachronisms in San Francisco. Toby has repeatedly complained that he is living out of a suitcase, but he seems to have a really nice apartment with a great view and a decently stocked closet.…

With respect to Nicky, I wonder if Jack not involving Nicky in Marilyn’s funeral may come up in the present day at some point. Perhaps there will be a conversation between Nicky and Rebecca. I also wonder if we’ll see Mike and Cousin Debby at all in the modern timeline.

Plagiarism is a pretty serious accusation against a journalist. I suggest that before you make such an accusation, you gather and show evidence to support that accusation. That evidence better amount to more than your vague recollection of another article about the same topic that was written for another website (and…

I get that a lot of the information is color coded, but it doesn’t need to be. That’s my point. Maybe with 1960's technology, the best way to categorize information was by color. Now, with digital video displays and audio synthesis, there can be and are alternatives. Hell, even if you want to stick to colors in the…

A little bit of a rant here. Every time I hear about pilot shortages, my blood boils a little bit. I would love to be a pilot. You know the saying “find a job you love and you’ll never work a day in your life”? That flying for me. But I’m colorblind, so I cannot fly professionally. I get that in the old days when…

After last night’s episode, I don’t think Kevin and Madison are going to get married. At least not in the finale. The questions game made it clear that Kevin is “going through the motions.” He knew the answer to the question dealing with the immediate now - what would Madison’s dream day be like. But he had no vision…

I honestly didn’t think about that possibility. Here is my latest thought. Zoe obviously got into Kevin’s head with this notion of Kevin always bending to what other people want or expect of him. Maybe in the end he will realize that Zoe saying that to him is just the latest iteration on that theme; that he is having…

In the promo spot after the episode, I think they mentioned something about the season finale being THE WEDDING EPISODE with next week being the bachelor party episode. Of course it wouldn’t be out of the question in TV land for Kevin to marry someone else in the span of two episodes. However, I will officially hate…
