Totally get it.  Bad habits are a tough bitch.

And the interlock can certainly break as well.  But if yours works, it doesn’t take long to get into the habit of realizing you need to push in the clutch, and once you get in the habit you’re unlikely to break the habit.

I’ve had cars with this issue as well, but as you say once you get used to using your clutch to start your car yo’ure not apt to forget :)

What you say is true, but let’s say for a second that the lockout switch goes bad on your ratty MK4 GTI so because you’re cheap and it’s already a POS you just wire around it. Let’s also say that you’re so used to it being that way you don’t have any issues but also don’t remember to tell the valet for the NYC lot…

Assuming you have a modern car, there is a lockout where you can’t engage the starter without the clutch depressed, so ther’es not much risk to accidentally launching anything, if that’s what you mean. Once the clutch is in, I would hope it would be second nature to make sure you were in neutral before releasing it,…

And park your shit in gear people. Simple enough to do.

This is one of those situations where I’m glad I am an old white guy. I have no idea what this in your life challenge is, except it’s some kind of dancing. And I think I heard it’s something to do with a song by Drake. I’ve heard of him. Some guy with the Toronto Raptors or something.

I’d have checked her teeth and made her stomp some answers to simple math questions. Anyone can say they’re Thoroughbred, I’m going to need a long form Birth Certificate, and a record of Sea Biscuit and her Nana’s time together in Tiajuana.   

+1! I’m a new dad and I’ve never once forgot my kid in the back seat. If you’re that much of a fucktard and wrapped up way too much in your life then you shouldn’t have a child! Dumbfucks wont forget their phone but they’ll forget their child??!!

How about DO NOT BE A SHITTY PARENT?

Because most people have no idea what you are talking about when you say “legit PCB or build a MAME” and just want to play street fighter like they did in an arcarde

Well troubleshooting is about stepwise checks that confirm each level is working in turn. We can short circuit that with experience and choices that make assumptions but sometimes its best just to do it from the ground up. Mysterious situations that don’t make sense are the best place for this as it generally means…

Here are some less dark pictures.

Newegg has one third party seller offering it for $500. The rest, including Newegg itself, are still at $600+.

I’m disappointed :-( Based on the title, I was hoping there was now a way to animate my desktop background / wallpaper!

Joel realized he had an article due today and didn’t have a goddamn thing to write about.

Here’s a hack: When you first get up in the morning, try peeing half in the toilet, half on the floor. It’s a great way to wake up!

I’ve worked at pricey/upscale spots where the directive was to NEVER write anything down. The owner felt like it was not classy, that it gave the experience a “diner” vibe. After doing it for a few months, you’d be surprised at how well you can recall orders- even 6-8 people. I don’t really have a problem with writing…

Silicon Valley, the late 2010s. Patrick Bateman sits at a conference table with his fellow venture capitalists. He removes a platinum sculpture from his briefcase. One of his colleagues leans across, smirking.

Am I the only one here who doesn’t give a flying fuck about flying cars? I mean I am not against looking forward to the next big technological progress but this seems like a futile exercise.
