Came here to say that, leaving satisfied. 

I was about to say that last week and the week before were better, but then I realized I’d be arguing in favor of tire problems as the key to exciting F1.

If you had seen my previous attempts at hiding the wires on GPS units, an aftermarket backup camera, or a Sirius radio, you would understand my issues a little more. I am, to put it politely, mechanically declined.

Among the many problems with this method is that it ignores the fact that somebody who gets an inheritance (or anticipates one) might well change their behavior. If I had come into an inheritance at a young age I would certainly have spent less time working and more time studying and enjoying myself. And if I thought…

I really want a dash cam. I really don’t want to deal with trailing wires. When will car makers start providing a USB power port or two in the header or the back of the rear view mirror? After all, they are already running power up there for interior lights.

Didn’t we know about Andy’s foot fetish decades ago? Back in the Koo Stark days?

I feel sorry for William, in a way. When they were younger, William was considered the cute one (“he takes after his mother!”) and Harry was kinda goofy-looking. But as they have aged, they each have come to resemble their father. And that’s not good news for William.

I’m confused. They pack all those speakers into one sound bar? How do they get the spatial separation? Or you have to add additional speakers around the room? I guess the vertical separation can come from upfiring speakers in the bar, but the rest?

If you don’t need the money at 62, take it anyway and invest it. The difference between what you can make in a solid index fund and what you’ll get from SSA by waiting is too small to think about, plus you can stop worrying that the Republicans will destroy the system to cut taxes for the 1% before you get anything…

My first reaction to this article was “welp, somebody is short of their quota for the month”. And then I checked the date and its only the 2nd.

I’ve shifted without the clutch before on several cars I’ve owned, but that’s only been because either a clutch cable broke or a clutch hydraulic cylinder failed, and it was never really ideal. Especially trying to get into first.

Fun fact: “STELLANTIS” is an anagram of “FCA USA LLC” and “PSA”.

I don’t see how enough higher ups got behind this and thought it was a good investment.

Considering it’s been in “preview” with Comcast victims customers for weeks, it’s pretty shoddy technically. The navigation is baffling (I lost count of the number of times I accidentally exited the app while trying to navigate back). The program guide makes no sense. (Bonus: you won’t find today’s live Premiere…

Fun fact: Americans with dual citizenship can thank Israel.

Decades ago, the State Department would not allow US citizens to have a second citizenship, and if you became naturalized in the US you had to renounce your other citizenship. After the founding of the modern state of Israel, Congress passed a law allowing…

You think you own something...

There’s a long tradition of blaming “inadequate” mothers for the way their sons turn out. Not so long ago, the medical world used to blame autism on “icebox” mothers who were insufficiently affectionate.

This paper is a good starting point:

Little known fact: “Kobe” is actually Japanese for “Without”. That’s why it was so cheap. The whole “kobe” thing is actually a very long-running joke by the Japanese on the Americans, and you finally reached the punchline.

The fundamental problem here is that if you’re looking at your webcam, you’re not looking at the other participants’ eyes, and that will feel creepy to you. If you’re looking at their eyes, not the webcam, they’re not looking at your eyes. Either way, it feels “wrong”.
