This! I’ve never seen an F1 grid girl live in person at any of the races I’ve been to since all of that is closed to fans.

This looks almost as cool as the Red Bull Fan Car but probably 1/100 the performance. Looks great, but also seems heavier or more bloated. Is all that extra space gonna mean 2000lbs of batteries?

If you’re getting $3000 in a refund at the end of the year, it means you just lost a year of investment gains. Or if you carried debt for that time, it means you paid interest for a few extra months.

So follow up question: where is Toro Rosso sourcing their Honda gear box?

Yeah, even a nod or acknowledgement would be nice.

Starred for yinz!

This is my biggest pet peeve with Windows. These are correct, except when they’re not. There’s simply no enforced standard for keyboard shortcuts and some of the biggest offenders are Microsoft’s own programs since they have so many legacy users who fear change.

On the other hand, it’s a press event. Guaranteed not everyone attending is a fan of the brand who genuinely wants this swag. So selling it on eBay gives fans access to swag that they wouldn’t have access to normally.

Counterpoint: I’ve gotten free stuff like this before in other industries, mostly fashion and honestly I love that people sell this kind of stuff for small amounts of money on eBay. It gives crazy fans access to swag they wouldn’t get access to normally and the fact that it’s not a hundred bucks means they didn’t snag…

Not sure I get this rant. It’s a paywalled blog post on the Wall Street Journal, not the front page of USA Today. I can’t think of a better way to limit the audience to other execs. So of course he’s not offering the general public advice on how to get Fridays off.

Does the stock ownership figure include pension funds and the like? A public employee earning a median income may not own stock directly, but their pension is benefiting.

My sister-in-law is from New Orleans and she absolutely loves Popeye’s!

Definitely the way to go. But I know people who buy GTIs and curse life when they have trouble at 6-7 years but then go to the VW dealership and buy another one!

Ok, but if you had heated seats, you wouldn’t have had to grow an extra set!

Not to mention the maintenance and repairs for the 4-5 years spent outside of warranty.

This is one of the reasons I keep my SiriusXM subscription. There’s a station that usually plays clips but they’re smart enough to keep the segments intact.

Your card may have it but the devil’s in the details, specifically on what’s covered and what’s not. And while you’re trying to make a claim, sometimes the rental company will put the charges on your credit card and then it’s on you to get reimbursed from the credit card’s insurance company.

A few people have commented on the smartphone requirement. That’s a double edged sword: the obvious downside but it also means these buttons aren’t locked into your house. You can bring one around with you to trigger smarthome things for example.

Nice find! I have a Smartthings hub this should work with, which is an added bonus because AFAICT, my Flic doesn’t work with Smartthings.

Exactly this. With a debit card, you’re fighting to get your money back. With a credit card, the bank is fighting to get its money back.
