Even a good thorough washing will clear the surface of about 99.xx% of dirt, sand, grit. The remaining 0.xx% is what gets picked up by the blade. Picture a piece of gravel that catches a skateboard wheel and drags forward. That one tiny piece will plow and scratch a groove during the whole duration of the swipe. …

because America needs to build more awareness about sodas and snacks.

can someone explain how things like Navi-x even exist - how does it generate money to support itself?

Genesis is not bad either.

Well, these kids might just be retweeting what "God" commanded the jews to do in the Ol' Testament....

taking a full inventory of the store would take less time.

I have a similar story and I always felt a little young throughout my schooling. I never skipped a class - I was just almost a year younger than most of my school mates in my classes. Even in college, every freshman in the dorm was at least 18. Some were even 19. I was 17 for the first half of the academic year. …

great, so you're saying the plane will fly upside down

It's a nice camping van. My only criticism is that in making it "luxurious", I see a lot of unnecessary detail work (metal trim, edging treatments, tufting of upholstery) that would result in more dirt-traps than if they approached the design with a smoother, easy to clean manner. We are talking about camping after…

Seeing these images of NK and Cuba, it makes me think that communism is a time-stopping machine. Countries that become communist have their technologies halt in a prolonged period of arrested development.

I dunno. One country is known for being intensely disciplined and hard working to the point of being rather humorless in its ways. The other is best known for being poor and showing tits during Carnaval and being only 5% done with summer olympic readiness...

I think the message, ultimately, when dissected, is too focused on the cosmetics of personal communication. If someone speaks with a nasally voice in a room with poor accoustics, that's not that big a deal. You build up credibility and people will consciously listen to you as your credibility stock is built up or…

yeah well, at least it shows you he understood it was "bad optics" and had the self awareness to take corrective action, even within the sad, lonely, cynical prism of a PR-centered view of the world.

yeah but... well... okay you just convinced me.

I recall when the Acura Integra Type R first came out, they were putting out 190hp from a 1.8L I-4, normally aspirated... That was impressive but at the time, the "no replacement for displacement" culture was still the dominating voice. Now it seems that high efficiency small engines have gained a lot of ground…

I think that if he were ugly, we would have a lot less goodwill for the guy. There is something about beautiful people getting preferential treatment wherever they are, compared to ugly people.

I'm going to post an unpopular sentiment - a critique of the aesthetics of Ghibli.

Kim Jong Il, if he were still alive, would probably defeat the Spurs given that he has shot like, 30 holes in one in golf. In a row.

another source of bad breath: Wisdom teeth.

I had a 95 Civic hatchback and it was fun to drive. It did understeer but the fact it was lightweight and short makes this issue a lot less pronounced. It had a weak engine (125hp) but it was light so it didn't feel like a burden to drive. It was one of my most reliable cars ever. More reliable than newer Honda…
