I’ve done that. I think I had to use both the keyring and an S-biner that I had attached to the ring.

The Stalk is definitely a few points closer to the scary end of the scary-sexy Continuum.

Potayto, potahto. Either way, my paladin reduced them to crispy chitinous corpses with his flaming longsword +5.

Yep, her. She’s Welsh, apparently.

It’s from all the bending and leaning to pick things up without knocking them over with her legs.

Yeah, your comment made me think “hey, wasn’t there a creepy spider queen/goddess in Neverwinter Nights?” so I googled “neverwinter nights spider queen” and that’s what I got. Now that my brain has been jogged, I remember there’s a whole race of spider-centaur people called “driders”. I think it’s a portmanteau of…

Not with that attitude you can’t.

Thank you! That was bothering me more than anything.

Oh my, now that’s how you get the 4th started off right. I’ll take 2, please.

I made a 2-day drive in a U-Haul from Buffalo, NY to St Paul, MN. At the time, we had 2 cats. I had the one cat with me in the U-Haul and my dad had my wife, baby, and the other cat in his minivan. That cat was a big, chill, lovable thing and great company on a long trip. It wasn’t her first road trip, but by far the…

I could go through and star all your comments, but I have a life. Nah, I’m kidding, I’m sitting in front of the computer because I don’t want to go outside and work in the yard. But I appreciate your reasonable and informed presence here.

Look again. I’m seeing stems on jalapeno peppers. Because they’re spicy hot and fire is hot?

Hmm, if you had no coolant left, that might be a different story. Typically, although I have no idea if it’s true in the case of your Miata, the temp sensor is at or near the water pump, rather than the engine, so when you’ve lost significant coolant (as opposed to, say, a bad t-stat), then the temp gauge may or may…

Probably not a heck of a lot. Remember, coolant flow immediately stops every time you turn off your car so your engine is just sitting there baking in its own heat.

My mom had (presumably still does, but she hasn’t used it on me in years) “the look”. Usually just a couple seconds of exposure to “the look” caused us kids to shape up for several minutes at a time. Presumably you need to use a similar technique to keep your car from overheating. Unfortunately, even as a parent…

Thanks for the reminder!

I love everything about this saga. Even if the car had broken, it would have been a great story (but so sad). As it is, I’m so impressed by you and your team.

Do you even downforce, bro?

Somehow, probably because I’m psychic, I knew this was a David Tracy article just from the headline.

We’ve had the Fox DVD for ages (I think my wife bought it before we were married), and I just recently grabbed the Disney Blu-ray when it was cheap at Costco, in large part because we the Fox DVD is fullscreen. I’ve got everything ripped, so one of these days I’m gonna sit down and add the Fox audio to the Blu-ray…
