Older cars are cheaper to maintain than newer cars with dealer specific parts/procedures.

It’s a little manipulative, but if I’m him: I keep limping onto that field until I’m benched, and then force the Tigers to buy out my contract by not retiring if they want my roster spot back badly enough.

Yep, long pants and a hat/bandana at all times go a long way. They’re still going to get you anyway, but it’s partially effective.

We tried going metric the 70s, but it wasn’t made mandatory, so everyone generally ignored the government’s attempt.

Manhattan car question. Can you live downtown, have a parking spot in a garage next to a train hub on the outskirts and just catch the train to your house when you’re back in town from your vacation/visiting family? Is that a thing?

Detroit Style is my personal favorite, if for no other reason than it’s surprisingly easy to make at home if you have a rectangular pan, some good pizza dough, and an aggressive amount of olive oil.

Maybe if automakers overhauled their distribution/sales system and stopped relying on sleazy dealer middle men, people would buy more cars new.

I appreciate the article caviats that extremely fast traffic should calm the fuck down and let relatively slower traffic pass promptly and not tailgate slower passing traffic.  I hate folks driving 90 getting pissed that I’m driving slower than them in the left, if I’m promptly passing someone.  I’ll get over soon,…

The real issue here is the callousness of his comments, and his corrupt behavior with campaign funds, not the fact he killed hundreds in a military environment.

If Sparkman was actually aiming at the batter, then he would have missed him.  The Royals pitching this year has been terrible.  If only there were a couple of pitchers on the free agent market...

I’ve seen bars combat it by putting a water cooler in the corner of the bar with tiny cups.  They provide water, but the patron has to pour it themselves and often.

Obvious caviat: not all siuations are the same, follow the advice in the article, don’t move if you don’t have a reason. I’m not advocating blindly taking off without forethought and a strategy in mind.

Aliens probably exist from a statistical standpoint, there are uncountable stars in the universe. They’re just in a galaxy so far away we will never be in contact with one another.

It looks like he’s laterally moving his pivot foot and travelling.

head to the Prairie Center and arboretum in town and check out the spring flowers(lots of rain this spring).

this is a silly question I probably know the answer to, but why not increase police presence during rush hour, have an onboard officer next to the handbrakes on a sample of trains every day until this guy gets unlucky?

I don’t believe in being expected to acquiesce every time a client raises their voice or hits that special nerve on the last flight of the day, especially those jobs where company/government regs get strict. However, polite, professional, emotionally neutral problem solving almost always wins out from the service…

I prefer black bean burgers to the beyond/impossible variety, oddly. Maybe because I’m not vegetarian, the appeal of the black bean burger is that it IS a different experience in bun delivery form.

You’re going to fully cook said chicken and wash your hands and all kitchen equipment touching raw chicken afterward, right?  So why on earth would you “wash” it?  What does that actually accomplish?
