I drive a Jeep Cherokee XJ now. You should see the size of the pile of tools I keep in it at all times!

Does a 2002 not have a tool kit in the trunk, like an e30? I thought its inclusion in the car ridiculous, until the first of about 500 times it got me home.

$50 for a pillow? It would need to do a lot more than “keep my head off the ground while I’m sleeping” for $50.

Well, I recently drove this:

Jonathan Patrick Moore has been cast as Oliver Kind, “a water conversation specialist who befriends Jane.”

Whitney Wolfe, Evan Spiegel, Anne Wojcicki, Kevin Systrom, Julia Hartz, Dennis Crowley, Emily Weissor, or Pavel Durov.

If we have a great idea, and idiots are fucking it up, I’d rather educate the idiots than throw away the great idea. Keep the zipper merge; lose the idiots.

Yep, the Pew study was, in fact, the one I was thinking of when I wrote my original post. By its findings, as you point out, as many as 16 percent of people who don’t have broadband simply don’t want it, irrespective of the price, and nearly as many people simply didn’t answer. That’s a large number of people who…

I would buy this car at this price even if it was actually on fire.

I would be very interested in seeing polls that included pricing data. I agree that many people without broadband might want it if it were less expensive, but there are also large numbers of people who simply have no need or desire for broadband internet access, or indeed in many cases, internet access at all.

One major barrier: polls find that large numbers of the people who don’t have broadband don’t actually want it. The notion that broadband has to be in every household whether the people there want it or not is just another one of those out-of-touch political ideas that polls well but isn’t typically based on…

If you’ve got the space - and you do - it’s nice to keep three rags, particularly if you get a color assortment and can color-code: one for grime (oil, grease, etc), one for chemicals (window washing fluid, interior cleaning solution), and one for clean surfaces (drying washed windows, light dusting). Throw them all…

This November, the National Geographic Channel will take audiences into outer space in a way we haven’t seen before.

I wonder if, at that gravity and those atmospheric conditions, some types of surface grains might not behave much like a fluid, such that these structures could be formed by nothing more than sand and time.

If he’s violating code and grading, then by all means he should be cited, but perhaps city leaders might also pay some attention to the people dumping trash and spraying paint.

...over-reliance on moments versus scenes that makes the whole thing feel awkward, staged, and inauthentic. The film tried to awe us with slow motion shots, montage sequences, dream scenes, close up shots, and absolute destruction...but as a result, it forgot to build a world or tell a story we would care about.

This kind of hyperbole does nothing to assist in the environmental crisis. While we believe that some of the weather patterns we’re seeing are as a result of anthropogenic climate change, many of the events you mention are well within the normal tolerances for abnormal weather, and that just gives ammunition to…

Fucking park, that’s how. (As the article wisely says: I’m just repeating for emphasis.) Back when Ingress was a popular pastime, I nearly had several accidents involving people playing behind the wheel, often in dense urban environments, but also in delightfully rural ones where you’d have no expectation someone…

Simple GPS spoofing apps are pretty well protected against in Ingress/Go. It’s not impossible, definitely, but it’s impractical enough that it’s typically not worth doing.

I’ve got mud inside my car. And salt from the winter. On the inside of the roof. Life with no doors on your car means leaving behind conventional notions of cleanliness.
