How many times do I have to say it? BMW turn signals work fine and get used all the time, they just flash in colors that the peasants can’t perceive.

Whoopie a Zeppelin!

but what’s the best way to end a message so that you actually get a reply? “Thanks,” “best wishes,” or something else?

The Jackson 5. BOOM!

‘It will probably hide nearby’

I heard that Majel Barrett recorded her voice phonetically before she passed. If they incorporate her into Alexa, then I would buy one without a second thought.

Fortunately for kids everywhere, the Elf on the Shelf was consumed in the inferno and its reign of surveillance and terror has come to an end.

Can my car tell the BMW that’s cutting me off that its driver is an asshat and needs to at LEAST indicate?

Yeah, honestly the only time I feel it’s appropriate to brag about something is in a job interview - and then it should be as matter of fact and straightforward as possible. I.e. “I have 5 years experience with Java; I worked on Project A & Project B and earned Reward C at my previous job.”

I’ve worked in a career path that is incredibly conducive to burnout (911/Emergency dispatch), and it’s a very real thing to many people for a variety of reasons.

Caveat: I love gift cards. Yeah, I get the irony. As in any case, you have to be conscious of who you’re giving a gift to.

This view gives a good look at a sport where a lot more happens under the surface of the water than the casual fan realizes.…

*quietly recalling all the times I rode in the back of our station wagon laying on the floor and wondering how I’m alive....

That’s a huge generalization and oversimplification in the first place, but there’s a great book that addresses your point. It’s a really eye-opening read: Scarcity: why having too little means so much. It discusses decision-making (and other behaviors) when you have limited resources (both time and money). Side note:…

This makes me wonder how my dog growing up did not die when she ingested 4 lbs of chocolate covered cherries. Granted she also ate entire plate of shrimp that where on bamboo skewers and another time ate a tray of chicken wings (bones and all). These happened typically before my parents had a large party so these…

A majority of kids grow out of naps, until they get old enough to have children and then start having them regularly with a child on laying on them. However, the down side is that these mid-life-naps often end before the child’s nap, and then the parent is stuck under a sleeping baby/toddler unable to move for fear of…
