I know that there is a lot of guesswork involved with estimating caloric burn by fitness tracking apps, but I’ll admit that I was shocked when I looked at the stats on two of my recent Strava activities for the same route — one run and one walk. The run showed that I burned only 3% more calories than the walk even…

Cool!  I never knew this existed.  Down the Wikipedia rabbit hole I go!

I like the Veloster a lot, and it makes me a little bit sad that it’s pretty much the only two* door hot hatch left on the market.

I don’t have anything intelligent to say about the potential sale of the brand. I just came here to say that the header image caught my eye. If they were to merge the two doors on each side into one big one and then scale the whole thing down by about 25-30% I’d really like it.

Every ‘90s kid knows that you should never ford the river.

The closest I got was eating a little bit of aluminum foil that got stuck to my Hot Pocket as I was toasting it.  It was not very fancy.

When I read that it was “used as a demo vehicle for a window tinting business” I thought that maybe each window would have a different level of tint so that customers could get a feel for what they were like.

I nodded along to the Jalopnik cliche at first, but then your last two words had me nearly spitting out my coffee laughing! Good work!

I’m probably not the best one to ask as I haven’t actively attempted to overcome any of my food aversions and am perfectly content to enjoy what I like and avoid what I don’t like.

I would love that. This time last year, before everyone got bored with the pandemic, a theater organization made a new performance available on YouTube each week. I watched almost every one, and it was fantastic.

I was a minivan kid back in the late-80s/90s, so I feel you on the fixed windows. My family’s Plymouth Voyager was a fine vehicle, but airflow was not one of its strong suits. It had those little vent windows (manual, not powered) that pinched my fingers whenever I tried to open/close them, and they provided so little…

Accuracy isn’t really this author’s forte.  None of the photos on the individual slides illustrate their respective tips either.

I occasionally enjoy building Lego kits. If I wanted, say, a model of the Space Shuttle, I could buy a higher-quality one at likely a lower price from somewhere like the Smithsonian’s gift shop. But for me, the enjoyment isn’t from having a display piece - I get enjoyment from the build itself, so I get the Lego kit…

I’m not sure how it happens, but it’s some sort of law of BBQ that any time a grill comes out, at least one (often more than one) middle-aged dad type will materialize to provide unsolicited advice. Sometimes it’s useful like 3W Peter; sometimes it’s just a little encouragement like Russian neighbor, but you will get…

I’m not sure about summer school per se. There’s definitely a negative stigma attached.

Thanks for reposting this — it slipped by me the first time around. This is all great information that’s worth sharing.

You are correct, and I suspect that (with a few exceptions) if one were to do a blind taste test of a Goldbelly food and a locally-sourced equivalent with a subject who has previously tried neither, the results would probably come back mixed between the two.

And if you happen to get hit with a piece of space junk (particularly a toilet seat from a defunct Russian space station), it then becomes your responsibility to escort souls to the afterlife.

Thanks for sharing that insight. It’s surprising to me that the industry remains so cash-based even when customers pay with cards.
