It hurts because it’s true

We had a gate agent break up our family of 4 for... another family of 4 who wanted to sit together. They didn’t tell me, so I had no clue why my ticket wouldn’t work as we were trying to board. They quickly changed my ticket and asked if it was OK, to which I laughed and replied that they could split the other family…

There are always going to be those who don’t follow the rules, but that doesn’t change the fact that a cyclist jumping onto and off of the sidewalk should have little impact on traffic if there is a proper bike lane. Why anyone would do that is beyond me.

Right, you’re always going to have bad actors, but there should be no reason to hop between a lane and a sidewalk, nor should an asshole cyclist jumping onto and off of the sidewalk have any impact on traffic, if there is a proper bike lane.

No, and it’s actually more complex (from a technical and hardware standpoint) to convert AC to DC than a DC-DC charger would be.

I started local, but I probably included too many links for Sal DiCiccio.

Holy shit. Next time I’m back home, I’m going to crack a Rainier and ask my uncles about this guy.

I was in Portland recently, and they have signs that say something along the line of, “Use the entire lane before merging.” I loved it!

Sounds like the biggest dick move is your city council not building proper bike lanes.

Can’t tell you how much I love regen on our eGolf. I turn it off on the highway, but city driving is much better/smoother with one-pedal operation.

The ‘14s are apparently terribly unreliable, but BMW seem to have addressed the early issues in later years.

Or just point out that they still employ Eli Manning.

Let me just sprinkle you with stars. This is magnificent.

Don’t give loaded shotguns to idiots.

That has to be the laziest bit of engineering I’ve ever seen. Literal backyard mechanics have done a better job. Tape some streamers around the engine compartment and Sawzall the lid to figure out how to improve airflow.

I’ve loved many of the cars that I’ve owned. That doesn’t mean I wanted to drive them forever or replace them with a new version of the same thing.

Home runs are unequivocally rally killers. So yes, a home run should end an inning.

He might not be an asshole, but his thesis is refuted by the very example he uses.

I’m going to try to hold out one more

it’s funny because everyone in New Orleans somehow takes themselves too seriously.
