At breakfast once I had a friend offer me something he called “leftover bacon.” I asked him to repeat himself, because I did not understand the concept he was trying to convey.

Not exactly in the “wild”, but I caught 5 Batmobiles leaving a Bob’s Big Boy classic-car night in Burbank CA. They were driving on Riverside Drive between the restaurant and the studio lot down the street. Apparently they’d stopped to do a photoshoot for a DVD special feature on the history of the Batmobile.

In addition to Anton Yelchin, I still believe shifter confusion contributed to the death of Princess Diana.

The way the car made a beeline for that massive concrete pillar after landing, for a second I thought it was a Mustang underneath.

Also, it’s not like it’s a ‘per hour’ rate when she can’t choose to work, say, 40 hours at it. She might only get an hour a week, two if she’s lucky, none if there’s nowhere to book. No paid vacations or retirement plans, either, on top of the years of work that go into that hour, so it can’t be compared that much to…

Yeah, I can see how this happens pretty easily. One day they wake up and see Kate in the dress, and suddenly the phone is ringing off the hook. Stores want to buy them by the dozens in all different sizes. But, where will they get made? Maybe the manufacturer who made them before doesn’t have the time in their…

I love the screwed up intentional walk.

Waiting list? For retailers who want to stock the dress? In fashion?

Check out this article on a sister site:

I need some sort of rear-facing headlight I can flash at the idiots behind me, who don’t have DRLs, yet insist on driving their gray cars in the rain without any lights on at all.

My college dorm had a “Star Trek: The Next Generation” pinball machine in the laundry room that was pretty easy to play an entire wash cycle on just one buy-in. Once you get the gist of the “story” of the game and realize what targets you’re supposed to hit and when, it’s not that tough to run 20 minutes or more by…

Patriots make America feel like they’re watching Election Night all over again. Trump still wins.

Simply fulfilling the prophecy:

Former Probe driver here, mine was also a white one like the billboard. As the car became less and less common to see on the roads after it was discontinued, I was always struck how, whenever I passed another on the road, it was also white. Even as late as 2010 I’d see white ones in the wild.

Hates the press, and rambles incoherently whenever he’s cornered into answering a question? He’s basically Coach Trump.

Arguably, the Hall of Fame is for those who brought something new to the game that changed how it was played, or somehow innovated something new that made them dominant. And being a bilingual catcher who could handle the Yankees’ rapid acquisition of Dominican and Cuban ballplayers was definitely a factor in the…

The whole “First Ballot Hall of Famer” thing is stupid. There’s no asterisk on the plaque or separate wing for First Ballot guys. If you’re good enough to get in, you deserve to get in.

LA was the most profitable host city in Olympics history.

What wasn’t said in the short video, is that you start felling trees at the front, and move back. That way, removing the first tree that is approached requires removing the tree behind it, which also lies slightly on top of it.

Great! All I need is $60 in components, a 3D printer with enough filament to make a few practice copies while I figure out slice settings, a soldering iron, a computer to copy over the code from and chase down bugs when trying to connect it to my WiFi, an account at Weather Underground, time to chase down API bugs, a…
