It’s a neologism coined by a Japanese company, so strictly speaking not an English (or American, since the practices for plurals are somewhat different) word and the coiner should be the authority for what the plural is intended to be. However, as a foreign word borrowed into American, the practice of everyday…

They are at Infiniti.

The incentives are going to depend on which site is chosen and the relevant jurisdictions; it conceivably could be in Fayette County or Washington County instead of Pittsburgh proper or Allegheny County, although I think it unlikely. And it’s not like 50,000 are being dropped in at once, it will be over some time. The…

It may not snow often, but it does get cold occasionally, so colder-weather tires are useful. As for your summer tires in winter, some summer tire models advise that if the temperature goes below freezing or thereabouts, the tires should not only not be driven on, they should only be used again if they are warmed very…

Isn’t there a Youtube vid about people who tried this needing to be hospitalized, or dying? Something about overheating, dehydration and suffocation.

This must be why you don’t care that wearing polarized sunglasses makes some LCD instruments disappear; you don’t wear them.

The two-piece pasta cutter (roll your own) was a free bonus when I bought my most recent KA, but I would love to have the sausage casing stuffer.

Don’t most vehicles that appeal primarily to single people and childless couples have lower resale value and sales volume than vehicles that appeal to people with families? Isn’t this a reason why manufacturers, intentionally or not, push buyers toward family vehicles by dropping lower-volume and less-expensive…

Hardee’s ‘roast beef’ is Roy Rogers. Marriott sold the Roy Rogers chain to Hardee’s in 1990; they sold half the stores to other chains and rebranded 80% of the stores they kept as Hardee’s while adopting the most popular menu items, leaving about 50 Roy Rogers-branded stores in regions where it had good market share.

This person apparently was taught the (correct) concept that applause is an expression of appreciation for live performers present in the venue. Applause for recordings, inanimate objects, and indeed, oneself (which is essentially what you describe) is considered gauche. But that ship sailed decades ago; rudeness and…

Why do we blame the manufacturers for the failure of US customers to want real colors? We used to have them, some of the Japanese in the name of efficiency put stricter limits in place and the other manufacturers noticed that they got away with it and followed suit.

Produce the doors at scale? How the fuck do you get out of the car after pulling into your garage? Or do you always park outside so your neighbors will be impressed by your affluence?

I’m sorry, but I don’t think the statement goes into sufficient detail about how long ago the alleged event allegedly occurred.

The Jetta dropped the multilink rear in 2010 but, but it came back in 2014. MQB or no, the 2019 apparently ditches it again to keep prices low. I’m not sure that this is the right tradeoff. VW planners are again convinced that American buyers don’t care as long as the suspension is sorted well enough and won’t pay …

No. The instrument cluster is the thing I hate most about my Mazda3, even though I have the other cluster with the analogue speedo and smaller tach. Yes, Jason, you do need an analogue speedometer, because like an analogue watch it’s more user-friendly for access to the information most drivers need. I don’t need to…

Didn’t the Pirates make money for a few years by fielding a mostly minimum-contract team and collecting revenue sharing, before starting to rebuild through draft picks?

Which is weird, because it was Brady’s choice to have the surgery performed in California by his friend and occasional golf partner, rather than by any surgeon at a New England medical center. Some players are right to wonder whether team-associated doctors are unbiased, but a random staph infection contracted at a…

Last year there were a bunch of comments ridiculing this practice, but my thesis is that it is easier to clean off both the wipers and the windshield when the former are not frozen to the latter. Ice can be broken off a freestanding wiper by gently flexing it; when it’s frozen to the windshield, the blade can tear…

Excuse me, it was apparently a Jaguar. She avoided conviction because the police failed to apply any field sobriety tests because she previously served a short part of a sentence for cocaine smuggling and they thought her parole would just be voided. But Cooke’s lawyers did try to use that news to try to get her…
