I used Tom’s service recently and it was awesome! $500 well spent for the amount of time and energy I didn’t have to spend tracking down a dealer with an allocation and the willingness to sell at MSRP. Highly recommended.

Jaywalking is a bullshit crime to punish (often poor) people for not being inside a car when traversing asphalt. It just makes walking more difficult and shifts blame away from drivers and the overall poor design of North American cities.

I use to hate this so much, but I’ve been trying to sympathize more with pedestrians and give them the benefit of the doubt. Pedestrians are at an extreme disadvantage in most American cities due to urban planning that prioritizes driver convenience over cyclist and walker safety. It just plain sucks to be outside of…

Seems like he originally wrote “...an English professor” before changing it to “an professor of English.” Ooof.

Just got back from a 9-day trip in a rental Chrysler Pacifica. That thing ate up all our luggage and boxy IKEA purchases and was still so comfortable to be in for many hours per day. And super smooth and quiet. I was not expecting that. I’m sold on van life.

My thoughts exactly. This is one of the few times where a video would have been more informative.

I believe this is a problem with how Euclidean zoning in the US really limits the types of housing available near city centers. Downtown housing is expensive because it’s limited in availability and often geared towards luxury apartments and condos.

Get that commie water away from my house! These here are freedom flames!

I guess I was thinking less in terms of quality and more just about my eating habits. I like being able to cook for myself, make new dishes, and eat according to how I feel in the moment. I wouldn’t enjoy always having food available without having a hand in how it was prepared.

Not worrying about cooking or buying your own food.

So after the people of the internet have your license plate number...?

Induction ranges only heat the pan that is in direct contact with the cook top (via magnetism). So if you turn a burner on but there isn’t a pot or pan on it, you will not feel any heat, and it will probably turn itself off (my induction range flashes for about 10 seconds and then turns off). If there is a pot/pan on…

Zing!

She doesn’t even go to this school.

Looks like you were at Buttermilk State Park. Welcome! I live right around the corner from the upper falls. Cool.

I’m nearly in the same boat. I have an ‘05 TSX (6-speed, but non-nav) that just passed 100K miles. It’s been rock solid...

My in-laws love bagels and always bring us a dozen when they visit. The problem is that they are loyal to their neighborhood bakery which has horrible, dense, flavorless bagels. My in-laws are very stubborn when it comes to food and do not like to stray from their routine. I’ve tried serving them the vastly superior…

Yup. This is my DD right now, and I don’t ever plan to sell it. It just feels right.
