Any boy (or girl) would have to be high to think this is a good idea.

They let you do that but not pump your own gas???

It’s certainly possible that the detail was at least partially motivated by pleasing an audience that represents >1 billion potential customers, but there’s precedent for countries to set aside their earthly differences and work together in space. I just recently read this article about a mission to dock an Apollo and…

Why did they change the NASA logo for the show?

The simple answer is: Do the math.

That’s a good point. It could be a “sneaky” way to inject a little variety into a subject that many find to be dry and boring.

I don’t recall specifically learning about balancing a checkbook in school, but they still teach addition and subtraction, and that’s all checkbook balancing really is*. I do remember completing a finance merit badge for Boy Scouts that involved balancing a simulated checkbook, though.

That’s cool.  It seems like a nice way to give customers peace of mind that they haven’t just made a huge mistake... and a fairly rare occurrence so pretty low-risk for the dealership.

I know it’s fun to crap on dealerships around here, and I’m not here to defend them, but let’s not pretend that dishonest salespeople, general managers, and finance people would disappear with dealers — they’d just have their paycheck signed by the manufacturer instead of the dealership.

I love this car. I don’t care if that means I’m a bad car guy, or that I’m superficial and care only about looks, or that I’m a selfish lover... wait... that got away from me a little bit.

The smoke from the wildfires causes an issue with grapes called “smoke taint” where the grapes are damaged and imbued with ashy flavors that come through in the wine they produce.

...Meg Whitman’s troubled start-up...

I’ve always wondered how a float would work with something other than vanilla ice cream.  I considered the idea of a Sprite/sherbet float when I was a kid, but we never seemed to have both of those ingredients at the same time.

“I knew the Mitsubishi Eclipse. I drove a Mitsubishi Eclipse. Senator, you’re no Mitsubishi Eclipse.”

There are some people who still foolishly believe that the COVID-19 coronavirus only afflicts those with weakened immune systems/immune disorders and the elderly. Should those people—despite everything that’s happened over the past six months—somehow still need evidence that COVID-19 can infect literally anyone... …

I’ve wanted to buy some N95 masks for some family members who are at particularly high risk, but I was scared off by reports of counterfeit masks.
