Straight Democratic Party. Every damn time.

Cops have an excuse for failing to arrest him

Well, I starred your comment because...yeah. But as a native Texan, please know there are plenty (I dare say “most”) of us who are decent human beings.It’s just that good, everyday people rarely make it on the evening news...

In our first house, which we bought new, there was a patch of grass in the backyard that would never grow. Just stayed brown the whole year. I dug up that section the following Spring and found the soil contaminated by what I assume was motor oil or the mix of oil & gas you find in a two-stroke engine. I had my own,…

...but I sense it’s mainly for us benighted souls with children under 10.

That sketchy video plus “Laundrie hasn’t yet cooperated with investigators.” Then he returns home with her van but w/o, you know... her ? And says nothing to anyone ?

The Honda Civic. It’s the “Reliable Car as Appliance” (along with the Toyota Corolla). Love my 2015 Civic. She ain’t flashy, but she gets me where I need to go w/o drama.

80% of the population or 80% of the land area ? Because land doesn’t vote, only people do.

This, absolutely. If your business plan requires labor yet does not plan to pay a livable wage for that labor, your business plan is shit.

Quitting because of a health mandate. Poor little snowflakes.

Same here. My Dad was from SA, and I grew up in Austin.

One of my favorite Mexican breakfasts is from Mi Tierra in downtown San Antonio, TX. Carne de Puerco en Chile Cascabel (pork tips simmered in red Chile Cascabel sauce) with homefries, eggs over easy, refried beans, and corn tortillas.

Whataburger has similar fries, but they are almost always crispy and perfect.

Mortadella is great! Esp. as part of an Italian “deli” sandwich.

Yes! Hash browns are also a critical ingredient in breakfast tacos. So I always fry up the bacons first, set is aside to dice, then fry the hash browns* + sauté the onions & peppers in the bacon fat. Then the diced bacon goes back in along with the eggs for scrambling. Best taco filling ever.

Even the base Nissan Leaf, which I know people pretend doesn’t exist, offers 149 miles of range for the base $27,400 S trim.

We have some of these. They’re kinda heavy, bulky, and inflexible (weird for what they’re made of, I know). But they do the job as advertised and are fairly easy to clean, too. I’d recommend them, but just be aware of the “bulky” part esp. when packing your lunch/snacks.

I firmly believe that lossy compression schemes like MP3 or AAC at 256-320kbps sound just fine for the vast majority of listeners. Esp. when played over the sort of headphones most normal humans can afford (even good ones at the “high end” of that price range like the Audio-Technica ATH-M50, Sennheiser 58x, etc...)

Your sibling blog Jalopnik had a commenter on the “best food to eat in the car on a road trip” suggest the McD’s two cheeseburger meal. Yeah, the orig McD’s cheeseburger is nothing special, but as the commenter noted, it’s basically a human food pellet. Easy to deal with in the car (esp. if you order with light…
