The controller for my son’s xbox failed spontaneously.  I’d want something fail safe if the stakes were this high.

Alexandria is overwhelmingly Democrat - the party of the Confederacy - so not entirely surprising.  I, for one, think it’s bizarre to name things after the side that lost.  Never mind all the other negative reasons.

Waste of an LS4 swap.

The problem is that you need an account to order a pizza or schedule a haircut or buy a movie ticket. My bank account and work account get strong passwords. Everything else gets a stupid one.

I stubbed my toe last night and I’m pretty sure climate change is to blame.

Nooooo!!!!!!

When people use their hazard lights in the rain, it just makes it harder to see when they’re on the brakes.  And, of course, they’re usually in the left lane going walking speed.

How did cleaning the waffle maker compare to cleaning after regular waffles? This sounds really interesting but the difficulty of cleaning a waffle maker already makes me hesitant to use one.

I bought a set of these last time they were advertised here. They are NOT noise cancelling. Not in the way that Bose headphones work, for example. They will deliver white noise if you turn on that feature, but they’re not active noise cancelling.

It’s easy for non-parents to dismiss it as bad parenting. Because they haven’t experienced the hell of going years without sleep.  Sleep deprivation can really mess with your head.

Can’t afford one. Or any new car. And by the time EV’s are in a used market that I could afford, they’ll need new batteries which will cost more than the car is worth.

The only way to survive this car is to feature it in a YouTube series about how it financially ruins you. Or at least that’s primarily what shows up on my recommended list.  I don’t think even Hoovie would touch this thing.

Probably needs a timing belt.  Because they all did.

After many years of being a fair weather rider, I decided two years ago to go all-in and ride no matter what, no matter the weather. If I’m not hauling my kids, I’m on my VFR800.

It’s a typo and the price is supposed to be $1,700.  In that case, NP!  I have the same model Suburban and it’s worth about $800.

E39 was peak 5 series, in my opinion.

Most of these things can be done with enough research and planning. Stop being helpless.  

“Many people only have one car, and if it’s out of commission, then they are seriously impacted.”

Unfortunately, a whole set of replacement grates, burners, and vaporizers costs more than the whole grill did. Which is surely intentional by the manufacturer. So I’ve given up having a nice one and now I buy a cheap one and throw it out every couple of years. What a shame.

I feel so sorry for paulbasa for spending 350k miles in a Chevette. But I admire the honesty, as I’d never admit to something like that.
