I remember touring a Lincoln factory when I was an intern at Ford 2004-2006 or so. There was a big banner on the floor that said something to the effect of “Our Mission: Beat Cadillac”. Only “Cadillac” had been crossed out and “Lexus” written in.

BJJ is great and all, and this looks like an awesome twist on a fun sport, but if someone is trying to assault you in your vehicle they will probably be punching you or using some kind of weapon instead of trying to choke you with the seatbelt.

I loath that flat grey and my last two cars have been some kind of silver or grey (metallic at least) because that’s all I could find on the lot. No colors available on the lot for any models I might want. I could go for color shifting paint, but my vote for a specific color I’d like to see back is Black Cherry…

The “future” that came from was 2015.

Pretty much everything is bad for the environment. I think less-bad alternatives are a good thing. Don’t make the (unattainable) perfect be the enemy of the good.

Gotta be crazy. Any decent con man would say things that are least sort of believable. This is just word salad gibberish.

I thought it was originally for fixing limb length discrepancies, but that would make sense too. I’ve also seen it used to lengthen the residual limb of a prosthesis user (just a poster). No issues with tendons and ligaments in this case and they went from having a residuum that was too short to use a prosthesis…

I’m with you on this being a “Male Insecurity Conference”, but the ball tanning and leg breaking are two very different varieties of idiocy. The ball tanning thing is cheap, pretty low risk, and in no way works. The leg breaking thing is extremely expensive and fairly high risk/effort, but actually does work. And with…

Yup. I-75 between Naples and Ft. Lauderdale in South Florida is called “Alligator Alley” because of the intermittent large scaly green speedbumps.

They’re switching it up a bit and going in to the future this time- this one is from tomorrow.

Lobster costs a fortune now so I don’t know if they still have it, but back in the beforetimes McDonald’s in Maine sold lobster rolls. McLobster was a legit thing, and not a temporary one. Full-time menu option.

I’d worry less about it camping *over* your front door and more about it stringing webs across it at face height. When I lived in Florida we had golden orb weavers in our backyard (pretty similar to the Joro) and they had a annoying tendency to construct their webs across large distances at face height. Even if they…

This. I just upgraded both of my cars to a new head unit with Android Auto. I paid a guy to come to my house to install both cars for only $100 travel fee. There were lots of other (reasonable) fees for the actual install & parts, but $100 for not having to drive to a shop & wait around all day was sooooo worth it.…

I was wondering why the author kept using “allegedly” in the descriptions of what they did. Fined for allegations but not prosecuted or convicted- yeah, that’s not going to do much. I wonder if any of those fines have actually been collected.

Seconded on the resin printer- I came here to say that. Using a filment printer for minifigs is like using a big pair of pliers on something that needed tweezers. Or a framing air nailer when your needed a headless pinner- pick your bad tool analogy I guess. I’ve got a filament printer but I use it for big loadbearing…

That part is less about gamification and more about trying to get you to pay for the full version.

I 3D printed a copy of the original. You can see past it a little better but it just doesn’t have the tight seal of the original.

Amen about being able to charge one but it not meeting my needs. I needed a car a few years ago (~2017) and would never need it for close to its range, but I drive so few miles per year that the cost of adding a charging station to my house plus the difference in cost between a reasonable gas vehicle (including gas…

I’m also diabetic and the instructions here about liquid meds seem to have never applied to me in the innumerable times I flew in the beforetimes:
