Yes. You feed a certain amount of audio into it, and it can convincingly generate new audio. We’re all doomed. :)

Manual options these days seem to only be offered on the “base” models of automobiles, as if the only reason Americans drive manuals is to save some money. Start looking for something in “Limited” trim, and the manual isn’t an option with any vehicle. I looked at the Fiat 500X and the Jeep Renegade at one point, both…

I miss my 9-5's, and driving for hours with no pains, still being fully alert. Nothing else I have driven comes close to my Saabs when it comes to comfort and alertness over the road.

Recently had the 6-cyl AWD model as a loaner when our Grand Cherokee was in for an accident. I’ve been in worse cars, but with all the options out there, yeah, I guess incentives must be very attractive. But I guess if you can get the 8.4" Uconnect and leather, it would make it almost liveable. The third row is…

I used to think every dishwasher loaded pretty much the same. Nope. Our 10 year old KitchenAid (Whirlpool) crapped out in September for the last time - I’ve replaced too many parts in it already, it was time to just get another one. We went for a Samsung because it was on sale, stainless tub, efficient & quiet. How…

My 2014 Grand Cherokee was bought back by Chrysler. Something about a loose ground caused some surge to the PCM. Nothing ever worked right after that and I just had a rolling series of failures until I turned it in. Went to Honda for three years before I had the stones to try again (my wife and kid use the GC mostly,…

As bad as Jeeps can be, they pretty much have the power locks and windows figured out.

Was gonna ask that. The most wonderful thing about my Jeep is being able to take the top off or put it down.

Not to mention there will probably be clues along the way, like dates on garbage, if it’s even somewhat preserved. I don’t know how I could live with myself if I didn’t at least research to see if it was even remotely possible, and then if even remotely possible, try.

Most of us Doctor Who fans are completists. Think that’s really all there is to it. We can’t get over that there are any missing episodes. Plus, any video with new Tom Baker narration, I’m there.

Unfortunately, HR departments these days exist solely to manage salary & benefits, hiring, etc. and everything else aside from that is done to protect the COMPANY, not the employees. Many of us learn this lesson far too late. But good on IGN for (being forced to) step up.

I agree. Flawed, but what a fun ride. Everything I hoped for in a modern non-broadcast Trek.

I had hate watched for a few seasons, looking for a reason to finally pull the plug. The Glenn dumpster BS (which, you might recall, was only resolved WEEKS later) almost did it. The cliffhanger almost did it. But Gimple promised he would make it up to us, so I watched the S7 opener. I guess he thought we were a bunch…

Yeah, I live on an Island, with ONE way out in an emergency. But tell me about your logistical issues.

I can see that. And FWIW, every time I want to talk about FTWD on another board, all of a sudden there are a million TWD fans trying to make a point that no one watches or cares about FTWD.

I think Fear is a much, much better show. I know I’m in the minority.

For me, the writing is just twenty times better on Fear. I think after season three or so on TWD, things just got so melodramatic. I’m not sure exactly when it happened, but it became REALLY obvious in season six, and I just realized I no longer trusted the writers to tell this story. Maybe part of it is being tied to…

Indeed. It’s dangerous enough just being on the road with them. If I have to do it, I want a protective steel cage around me, just in case. All it takes is once.

Fuck them with a splintery fence post. Was never embarrassed to be a fan until I heard them booing players who knelt silently. What a bunch of precious snowflakes these fans are. Safe spaces!!

Not the kind of water we can actually use, unfortunately.

Yeah, stay away from soy. I’ve found Almond Milk is much better tasting, and doesn’t have the hormonal disruption issues that soy does. But good luck finding a decent cheese or yogurt substitute. Ice cream is a little easier.

As for burgers, there are some tasty veggie burgers out there, but nothing yet’s going to…
