But where these cars built overseas (translation: what do the VW plants in the US produce?)?

You just named every author on my go-to vacation read list.

The 1950s Laurence Olivier version is the best one. Period.

We called it “Franzia Olympics.” Still can’t look at it 5 years later.

Cheap wine pong is a bad idea too.

If you know where the guy lives, I have a bag of nails for you.

Foil is easier to recycle (about 95% of consumer aluminum products are made with recycled aluminum because aluminum is a gigantic PITA to refine from ore) and plastic wrap can actually gum up older recycling machines at the center because of how it melts.

Yep. Once when he told me the family dog died (it was his dog more than anyone else’s) and once when they left me at college. I’m tearing up just thinking about it.

He’s freaking young not to do anything else after leaving office, not too mention probably too ambitious to sit on his duff and collecting speaking checks.

Frankly, the fact that Ofcom is getting involved already, is a HUGE step up from where US TV is.

It’s going to come down to residents in the form of either an increase in property taxes or water/sewer rates, rather than where it should come from: police union dues.

I’d say start with shorter trips for backpacking and work up to larger ones as the kid grows. My first backpacking trip was only overnight and I carried my own food. As I got older, we’d go out for longer because I’d be able to handle more weight-wise and feet-wise.

SI is reporting that Washington walked back the entire “fake account” thing and the GM’s wife has apologized.

Check out the ChromeOS subreddit for people doing similar things. I remember a couple of posts about turning Linux machines to Chrome boxes via Chromium (?)

The “smile, nod, change the subject” waltz is how my parent’s and I get through holidays with my aunt and grandfather...both difficult for different (and yet suprisingly similar) reason.

I was *this* close to pulling the trigger on a Asus Flip (the 4gb version) and then I saw a deal for a refurb Dell Inspiron 11 2-in-1 for $250 once it was all said and done so I went with that. However, if I hadn’t found said deal, I would most likely be the happy owner of an Asus Flip.

They won’t repair it, they’ll send you a new one because when L.L. Bean means “lifetime warranty” they interpret that to mean their products will go into your grave in pristine condition.
