We need a common sense approach to the problem but we will never get it because extremists from both sides refuse to budge. One side wants to build a useless wall and kick every undocumented person out. On the other extreme end, people want to doors flung open and everyone allowed in willy nilly. Essentially cutting…

8 million chips is probably just the beginning. I’m fairly certain those same boards will go into the battery modules in Powerwalls and Powerpacks

As someone that has flown close to 2 million butt in seat miles, I am less worried about a plane built in 1980 than an taxicab built in 2015. The FAA and similar organizations in developed countries requires meticulous maintenance to highly rigorous standards. Planes require periodic checks at fixed intervals up to…

The people that sometimes come over are an unfortunately confluence of unrelated life situations coming together at an epicenter known as my house.

Oh that has most definitely happened. Several people have been banned from our house. We are used to the people that open up a medicine cabinet in the bathroom but some people are just ridiculous. One obnoxious idiot broke the lock on a cabinet to take a look inside.

Now I am utterly curious how one former coworker of mine is still alive. The guy ate nothing but microwaved, undiluted Campbell’s condensed chicken noodle or tomato soup. He went through 5- 8 cans of the stuff every day. Never saw him drink a drop of water. While he was not the healthiest fellow, he had been doing…

Our laundry room has become the universal “hide shit from the guests” space. We added a lock to keep the nosier people from snooping around. Found out the hard way that some people will literally tear open every locked cabinet, drawer, and closet when left unsupervised.

Not kidding. I’ve seen it personally. My sister in law’s deadbeat ex-boyfriend lives the fake it till you make it life. His Ted Williams batting average credit score, dead end job, 2nd grade level financial literacy, and the need to put up an image means he buys lots of high end stuff at 20%+ interest rates.

Having consulted in the automotive world, I can honestly say most people in the industry have to be dragged out of the 1960s yelling and screaming. To many, fillable PDFs are at the same technical level as landing the stage one booster of a Falcon 9 rocket.

As others have said, current penalties amount to a slap on the wrist if they gen busted at all. Chances are they won’t pay the citations anyway. The people pulling off sideshows don’t care if their license is suspended because they will continue to drive anyway. Tossing them in jail is also a poor use of resources and…

/plugs in EV at work.

Hahaha!

Based on user feedback where I work, there is a growing demand for Surface Laptops over the Macbook Pro. The help desk people have reported the keyboard issue and many users are simply getting frustrated enough to switch. The feedback on the Surface Laptops are actually very good.

General stupidity. At the last company I worked at, one guy would leave his car running at least once a month. He admitted that he has twice been saved by his CO alarm at home. He drove a car with physical keys.

Beat me to it. We can easily “boost” octane overnight to European standards. Mandate all pumps list octane rating in RON. Slap new stickers on and DONE!

My Gen 1 Volt is like driving in a cave when trying to back up. The rear visibility is horrible with many blind spots. While I do not rely on the camera, I do have to glance over just to make sure I’m clear. One thing I have noticed about cameras, which I love, is the wide angle and positioning means I can see cars…

Total room was not the issue. It came down to the usability of the space and features that just made most sense in a minivan. With rear facing car seats, the driver and passengers were a bit tighter than we we preferred. Not a safety issue but not as comfortable as we liked. The lower floor of the van helps with…

My wife and I so miss the HUD on the X5 M we traded in for a Honda Odyssey, Once the need to tote 286lbs of strollers, diaper bags, snacks, extra clothing, toys, and other mandatory toddler gear, it’s back to something more fun.

Sites like Raw Story, Everyday Feminism, and The young Turks. Huffington Post and Jezebel (as well as other GMG properties) tend to toe the line. Like their opposite counterparts The Blaze, Breitbart, and Rebel Media, I often do not agree with the message and approach. Still, I’d do not want to close myself off to the…

I do. While I do not agree with the message, I would rather get a contrary take on issues than live in a circle jerk echo chamber.
