Those vendors are perfectly happy to bid a much lower cost for a gathering that isn’t a wedding, but the moment two people say “I do” there needs to be a triple cost upcharge? The wedding tax is very real and IS bullshit and you pretending it isn’t is weird.

A medical specialty with good pay and nice lifestyle? Yeah, that’s gonna be a tooth-and-nail residency to get into. 

You’re right. I am surprised by how much they’ve improved, but sedans have improved by almost the same margin. A well-designed sedan is hitting as low as 0.22 to 0.24, where trucks used to have a coefficient somewhere up in the 0.5-6 range, newest models are more like 0.38. That’s pretty, pretty good.

Why we equate “aerodynamic as a brick” with masculinity is both weird and fascinating. Round is feminine, square is masculine, must make truck square! Form following ancient arbitrary psychologic shorthand. 

Four men, sent by the man’s mother to take him to a drug treatment program?

no bridge out sign? no barricade?

There’s a pretty well-written book on the subject:

The vast majority I see are not trail rigs but sitting on stock wheels in grocery store parking lots. Maybe it’s a pacific northwest thing, but we have a TON of them. Not as many as subaru outbacks, but a lot.

Just the sheer number of these still being daily driven is all the evidence I need. 

Everyone knows puppets are of limited value, so just write a check.

I can’t wait to play this game in a year or so when it has been polished up and the mod community has had their way with it. I never buy Bethesda games at release. 

Not surprised she doesn’t know how to comport herself at a theatre as this was probably her first brush with “culture”.

I mean, Tucker is deeply misogynistic because mommy did not love him, so this kind of behaviour WILL continue ad infinitum. 

M2 comes in purple. 

I had an A4 wagon (pre-Allroad), good car, but the 2.0T engine drank oil like crazy. I had to put a quart in every 500-600 miles. Apparently a known thing with that engine - which is wild because Audi uses it in almost everything they make. 

This behavior is sibling to the guy who toodles along 5-10 under when the road is curvy and 2-laned, and has an entourage of trapped cars behind him, but is suddenly Mario Andretti as soon as a passing lane materializes. Some people take being passed as some kind of personal affront, which makes no sense. 

Bought a nearly-new 94 Jeep Wrangler with 10k on the odometer, full steel doors and hardtop for 11K. Coming up on 30 years of ownership. Daily driver for a couple of aimless years after high school. 4 years of the military, 4 years of undergrad, 4 years of medical school, 3 years of residency. Basically 15 years I…

Both the victim and the perpetrator are wrong. If the rider had survived, I would have been all for him going to jail for a long, long time. I’m also all for the pitcher to go to jail for murdering a guy, cop or not. 

Am I doing it right?
