Depending on the child, they’ll laugh at you and then go jump in a campfire. That’s also why so many kids shoot themselves/each other with the guns their parents don’t lock up. There are truly no limits to the danger a child will get themselves in because their brain is literally not capable of understanding it.

There’s been a few times where my kids go running out after me when I head out for an errand. They know they’re not supposed to, but as the article notes, a 6-year-old has a limited understanding of what the SUV will do if it hits them. I’m used to always looking for them (and the many walkers in my neighborhood).…

At this point, I think it would actually be more expensive to make a truck with all of those manual things, as they don’t include any of that in the build of anything else. It would be the equivalent of a small custom run, but using all of the cheapest stuff and then selling for the lowest cost, which makes no sense…

The 1996 Saturn SC2. 1999 is when the 3-door model arrived, making a close second in the family, but the ‘96 is the last generation with pop up headlights, so that is the winner. A terrific slow car that is still fun to drive fast. Easy to work on, even for a total beginner. Panels that rebound to cover up youthful…

At $50k+ this thing needs to be show room quality for me. As soon as I saw the seats it was clear he’s delusional about getting his money back. They also did the thing where they list 1000 other cars to get more hits, so automatic ND. 

I think making the rules to force draw would help people figure out the perfect strategy, like telling someone they aren’t allowed to use the corner for the first move in tic-tac-toe.

They don’t work with the online version. The file can contain them and you can make edits to the visible cells, but you cannot do anything with the macro while viewing it in the browser. You have to open it via the desktop app to make/edit/run a macro.

As someone who lived by Chicago and moved to the West Coast for a bit, it’s pretty shocking how much more everything ends up costing. A big reason for why we ended up moving again back to Middle America. Went back to Oregon to visit family and got reminded of the pain when we just picked up a handful of groceries for…

There’s a recession happening?

It comes back every couple years, usually centered around people mad about some new car regulation as a reminder of how dumb the full-on anti-regulation people can be.

One of the things I remind adults about when they talk about how they were fine with all of those things is that the crowd against it can’t be as vocal because they probably died. I think it was 32 teenagers who died in car accidents in my metro area of ~250,000 people during just the 4 years I was in high school.…

There is an a small, but growing, genre of country rappers. There’s at least one guy getting popular in MAGA circles for his ‘anti-woke’ rapping, or whatever it is. Anyone with the cognitive dissonance to be a die-hard Trump supporter is perfectly capable of buying a shoe style popularized by anti-Trump groups. 

I remember when those first gen Sebring convertibles became disposable $2k cars. I’d argue the design on them was all great for what it was - an economic convertible with a usable back seat. The mechanicals were just the usual garbage Chrysler product, so it would have been awful with any body on there. 

I’ve had to do a lot of reiterating to my kids that inanimate objects do not get defined as being for boys or girls. There is no such thing as a boy or girl specific color, clothes, hair style, toys, etc. Those things just exist and you can make your pick on which applies to you. I also live in Texas, so I’m sure…

A 19-year-old

Instead, the opposite happened, where deaths per capita increased as people were speeding like crazy. The country did finally have the first day (since this tracking began) without a recorded shooting on school grounds, though.

It’s still legal in Mississippi for the driver. A few states allow passengers.

Weird. I suppose I haven’t gotten close enough to a pole for my Ascent to trigger it, but it’s definitely been jarring when it brakes. I do think if you’re going really, really slow that it won’t trigger and requires a little velocity before applying, so that could be her issue. It doesn’t go off when I back up slowly…
