Funny, I just saw this on Facebook today:

Yup. There are lots of tall and very old trees in my neighborhood that are out to get us. A couple of years ago a tree fell at night in high winds and crushed a house killing someone in their bed. More recently a perfectly healthy-looking 100ft tall red oak in my neighbor’s yard ripped its roots out of the ground in…

When we were expecting our first kid we had a short list of names for boys and girls. “Verona” was at the tops of the girls list...until Suzuki came out with a new model called the Verona. Thankfully that one was a boy.

I have a dog that dug out a buried drainage line and shredded the perforated pipe in there. Then she tore the gutters off the walls and chewed up the bottoms (yes, the metal aluminum part). I finally figured out she was chasing chipmunks that would hide in the gutters. I zip-tied hardware cloth (like chickenwire, but…

Just avoid the calamari:

I’ll answer a slightly different question- how nearly traumatic was your school bus rides with two stories from bussing from the suburbs to inner city middle schools in Florida in the late 80's:

“All the money is in service already”
That’s one reason they would be complaining. EVs need a lot less service. Mostly just tires & brakes (and less brakes due to regen braking), and those aren’t usually a dealer thing for most people.

I’ve got half a mind to suspect old Elon hit the self destruct button to increase the press coverage after a successful test completion.

Huh. I don’t even see you in the greys up there. But Kinja doesn‘t always make sense or work right. I guess your mileage may vary- some cars are stupid and turn their own wipers on when you don’t want them to. Some owners are stupid and rip their wipers up scraping their windows. I think the specific car and…

Reply to Romeo Reject up top then, since he seems to know more about what he’s talking about. I’d like to see a good discussion by people who know (or at least think they know) what they’re talking about. But according to some other comments (and depending on the car) leaving them down can also expose expensive things…

Does this mean that the army needs to stop naming their helicopters after Native American tribes? Or is this analogous to the Florida State Seminoles, who keep using that name (and also have specific permission of the tribe) because it is intended to honor them?

Came here to post this. I’m going with the car people on this one.

It looks like me being unusual with my password needs doesn’t matter, because Mrs. B.S. has informed me that she does, in fact, need to use both mobile and web platforms of LastPass and that we (i.e. me) need to do something about this upcoming policy change. So I think we will need to go for a full family license,…

The only thing on my phone that makes me re-enter the password is the phone itself when it prompts me to re-enter the PIN for “enhanced security”. But the face ID did just stop working one day, so I’m stuck with only fingerprint or PIN now.

Nope. I just don’t seem to use any apps on my phone that need a password. I’m almost always near a computer and just use that bigger screen(s) and keyboard if I ever need to log in to anything. Especially in this pandemic when I almost never go anywhere.

We exist. Or at least I do. I can’t remember the last time I needed to type a password (or use LastPass) on my phone. Everything unlocks with fingerprint or my phone passcode. But I use LastPass extensively for work and home through the website and browser extension. So choosing which platform is a no-brainer for me.…

There was a guy in the Jiu-Jitsu I used to go to club nicknamed “the fluffy bunny”. He was a monster.

“If the Odyssey and minivans generally are so great, how come there isn’t one in every driveway on your block?”

“20 per cent of people are liking it. That fits to the type of customers we are targeting.”

Definitely not junkyard. My dad knew the guy- he had lots of money and had a brand new C5 vette repainted with a different color on each panel. I don’t know if it was the official harlequin color scheme, but it was close. Definitely red, yellow, and blue. Not sure what shade of green or if it even had green. Ghastly.
