Is there a service that has rentals and is cheaper than buying? My audio habit tends to trashy stuff to listen to in the car or the gym, and I don’t anticipate listening to any of it a second time! The article says you can rent from Audible, but I don’t see any option to do that?

If the movie is about a run for the White House, it has to be called Legally Blonde 3: Blonde Ambition

Somebody should tell Carpenter he can’t dig up.

I was just about to ask this very thing. So thank you.

I have a modest proposal. Democrats should go ahead and vote on November 3rd. Republicans should wait a couple of months or so, say until February 2021.

My mom deserves a Ford Pinto.

Let’s hope this works out better than so-called biodegradable plastic bags, which turn out to be another trick by the plastics industry to keep us all using plastic.

I’m really frustrated with the physica/mechanical design of USB3. The connectors don’t seem to “grip” nearly as well as micro-USB, and are easily dislodged just by moving the cable a little, even at the far end. And on my MacBook they have an annoying tendency to pop out by about 1/8th of an inch: enough to break the…

Can we please stop using the word “worth” about rich people? He has $1.3B. He’s worth about the same as me, which is essentially what my organs would fetch on the black market.

I really like the idea, but the trailing wires would bug me. Isn’t it about time car makers put a couple of USB ports behind the rear view mirror? They’re already running power up there for the interior lights. 

I was a legal resident/green card holder for a number of years before getting my citizenship, and before that an L1B visa holder. Throughout that time I was treated as “resident” in the US which was all that mattered for tax purposes. And technically, this is a tax thing.

Before you buy a battery backup, verify that you can disable the alarm sound that beeps regularly when on battery power. Trust me on this. You’ll thank me later.

I wish Target’s “extended sizes” included more combinations of length and waist, rather than just waist sizes. Those of us most in need of activity tend to have a higher waist-to-length ratio than these pants seem to be designed for...

For Lent I’m giving up drinking and lying

Maybe picky eating, but I can’t think of anything else that in hindsight I wish I’d fought harder for.

Fun fact: until quite recently (historically speaking) you couldn’t have “a” priority, or more than one priority. There was only “the” priority: the single most important thing to do.

Apparently, my wife is trying to prioritize every single object and piece of paper she owns...

In for 2. Heading to England and France later in the year with a phone, headphones, Macbook, and all the other typical stuff.

The other reason the US ended testing in 1996 is that computer simulations became good enough to make the armed forces confident that the warheads would work as designed.
