Enough water will put out a grease fire.

The picture of people out watching the smoke plume from lawn chairs makes me think of the people who watched the Chernobyl fire from the bridge.

Stars, they’re just like us!

3rd Gear: Launching hydrogen testing now sure is... something you can do.

Neutral: How are you?

The stupid thing is that the front wheels can fall off anything if the lugs aren’t properly tightened. Local tire shop failed to tighten the lugs on my daughters front driver’s side wheel and it almost made it all the way off before she got it stopped and asked for help -- with only one lug still partially engaged.…

Haven’t accomplished a damn thing in our lives? I once did that thing where you put a pile of coins on your elbow and swing your hand down to catch them, and I’m pretty sure I got, like, 75% of those coins. A lot clattered under the couch, but still. Checkmate. 

Be grateful you don’t steer with the touch screen. That wan’t a request. Be grateful.

This is blatantly dangerous.

Going private at $420!

Tesla will sell you the other half of the steering wheel via a $3,000 package they have named “Manual Automated Driving”.  Drivers can start ordering MAD soon. 

On the one hand, yes, your hands should be at 9 and 3, and this is probably fine for the vast majority of driving situations. But goodness me is it going to be awful to correct a slide or any other emergency maneuver the requires more than 180 degrees of steering angle.

If you don’t get the yoke, the yoke’s on you. 

I’ve had Giardia. It's a week or more of nothing but puking from both ends until there's nothing left, and then your body somehow finds more to violently eject. Great stuff.

Once they trot out the show, I bet it has a good run.  

This one may not be not be nasty, but it is mysterious. We lost the remote to the TV. Several years later, it turned up in the trunk of our car. We didn’t even own this car when we lost the remote.

Turns out they were distracted arm wrestling. Fortunately it was a draw; no one went over the top.

It’s so sad that we lost so much history about our ancestors. Most of us can’t trace our lineage because of the pain of slavery. Many older people simply didn’t want to talk about it. You look at a person who is in their nineties and you’re seeing the link to three centuries, because at that age they’ve known people…
