She doesn’t get properly dragged for making Dr Phil nationally famous and almost making Dr Oz a US senator, so the keyboard warriors need to find something to yell at her about. This probably isn’t the thing she needs scolded for, but it’s going to keep happening every time she’s in the headlines. It would probably be…

I guess now we’ll get to see how parent influencers can produce content that only features their children for 29.9% of the runtime. 

The Saudis have cut production, reducing supply available...Hurricane X caused issues at plant X...Economic Uncertainty...Tarot readings...

A big part of why I moved to Texas is so that blizzards are never part of my life planning, but your general point still stands. My general plan is that if I have an overnight delay, then I’ll pick a hotel to cover a chunk of the drive and finish it the next day on my own schedule. If my flights are the same day, just…

How big was your high school and how wealthy were the students? I had a mostly similar experience, but there was definitely some pretty bad hazing and the occasional bullying. It wasn’t as bad as some of these movies and rarely did a large group consistently bully a small group, it was usually a few assholes who…

I’ve made a few cross country moves and that is what we did on those. However, my wife gets pretty bad PTO options, so we are almost always time limited when making long trips. It’s actually become easier for us to just buy a plane ticket for a family member than driving all of us for 14 hours somewhere, but I expect…

Probably those Pintos that caught on fire.  

Don’t even need that. People have been putting cones on the hood and that stops the cars in their tracks. 

I feel like most of the sedan/wagon “hidden gems” are the exceptions instead of a vehicle that is as knowingly reliable as the Honda/Toyota collection. The vehicles that I’ve heard of that don’t seem to get a lot of praise would be the Frontier, Armada/QX80, and the manual versions of the Focus, Fiesta, and Renegade.…

The potential for an early return is probably the best thing about driving. I recently had the double whammy of got done early and a delayed flight to get back. It would have been an 8 hour drive, but with each delay it was getting more and more tempting, especially since I had a connecting flight. The only thing that…

Oops, ~500 miles round trip*.

Depends on the length/purpose of travel. I bounce around for work pretty often and find that 3-4 hours of driving is a good cut off (~500 miles). Anything more and I’m starting to burn full work days on just the travel aspect and it turns into overnights. Via flight, I can go to/from another city in a single day and…

Need BEV chargers to come next everywhere. 

I definitely don’t think harmless is an accurate adjective because of his audience size. If his audience was 10% what it is, we could maybe call him a harmless idiot, but his reach is way too big for that

I’m pretty sure Google’s algorithm is just how much a company is willing to pay Google, based purely on how every search now results in a dozen ads before any non-ad results begin to appear.

It’s weird how the Iverson-practice thing as persisted for so long. It’s been ~7 years since all the sports media companies began telling the origin of that rant and the remainder of it that is probably just too long for anyone to include in a meme. The guy was depressed because the murder trial for the killer of his…

That’s always been my take on Rogan. He’s just an idiot with a microphone, often too stupid to understand or question any of the things his hosts say. At least most articles about him seem to be more about his guests, but I don’t actually listen to his show to know any better. Unless he’s incredibly talented at…

Building codes are based on codes written by engineers and have been for a very long time. They get routinely updated by engineers too. 

Texas has a lot of cheap land and I have the ability, knowledge, and licensing to get one done, so my $100k garage will be awesome. The zip code rider of my comment definitely has a huge impact, but it’s my garage so I get to ignore everyone else’s regional costs.

That was one of the best TV cars. Such an excellent choice for the show.
