My family had an STE Turbo in white with tan interior, and it was glorious. I knew absolutely zero about cars at the time, and I thought there couldn’t be a better car in the world. At some point my dad found a chip to give it a few more horses and one of those noise makers for the turbo blow off. We took countless…

My first thought was that this seems like sharks going after bleeding prey. And given that its a class action suit, the investors are unlikely to get much out of it after dividing the spoils. The only ones who win are the lawyers.

I feel like smoked paprika is like a “silver bullet” spice (not coors light, the thing that magically solves a problem). I use it on all sorts of meat, eggs, anything with mayonnaise, anything with potatoes, sauces, stews, and many other things. It’s never overpoweringly smokey, and the flavor it lends seems to…

I tried the stuff while visiting coffee farms in Hawaii, and while the descriptors they provide make it sound great I found it sadly lacking. It seemed overly sour and astringent with a subdued flavor. It might have been poorly brewed but I would temper your expectations.

Another good camping option is a Moka Pot. It’s a little bulky to pack but is fairly light weight and brews coffee in one step.

I’m a big fan of extra heavy mayo. It’s got better texture and flavor. The only problem is you generally have to buy it 1-2 gallons since its primarily used in food service.

A. Dwarf planet is a type of planet therefore Pluto is a planet.

I was so disappointed when ME2 gimped the hell out of Biotics with the shared cooldown and turned the whole thing into a cover shooter. They also took away my explosive ammo shotgun. My favorite memory from ME1 was running up the side of the citadel in zero g, tossing enemies out into the void with wild abandon.

Seeing an vinegar is spoiled wine...yes it does occur on its own. But I’m with you on the not drinking it part. Vinegar has a specific taste and aroma that - while wonderful as a condiment - is far less wonderful as a beverage.

Instead of mayo or Miracle Whip, we could start with a rich, garlicky aioli, which is essentially mayonnaise that grew up in a rich neighborhood.

As with many things these days, its likely that the issue stems from pressures outside of the Twitch boardroom. Investors, media coverage, and regulatory bodies all influence what a company of that size can do and will do. All it would take is for some regulator to say that Twitch has strayed into the world of adult…

I wouldn’t go so far as to say they’re awesome, but I certainly enjoy them. You are correct about salting them yourself, and you need a lot of ketchup. They are more starchy and potato tasting than most fries so you need the extra acid to balance. And based on the perpetual drive thru line at In n Out I don’t think…

SoCal reporting in. It’s true here too.

I feel like transmission ratios, gear change timing, and throttle response are more likely to make a car feel “underpowered” than actual engine output. People want the car to respond to accelerator input and when that response is delayed, they blame the power of the engine.

Add California to that list. The clueless, the obviously distracted, and the passive aggressive make up 90% of the drivers on the road. Poor driving combined with massive numbers of cars and a complete inability to enforce traffic laws makes driving pretty awful.

As boring as it sounds, beige is the best interior color. Its light enough to make the interior feel spacious while being easier to clean than white, and it doesn’t feel like magma after sitting in the sun for two seconds like black.

And this is why the French have such disdain for us...

I lived in Vermont for 30 years and I’ve never heard of cheeseburger pie. There were plenty of mincemeat pies and shepherd’s pies (which is a casserole), but nothing resembling a cheeseburger.

I saw a Mach-E on the road for the first time Tuesday. The exceptionally glossy clear coat made it stand out. It’s a decent looking car with all the swoopy styling but its still the generic jelly bean on stilts shape. Also the rear indicators were an odd shade of yellow straddled the line between budget and futuristic.

I moved to CA several years ago from a place with seasons and I still find it to be a weird and magical place. Last October I saw a sign go up outside the local water district saying, “Fall is Planting Season!”
