When i was a kid my mom had the habit of using a flour sack towel over the top of whatever she was ironing. I’ve found them a really useful tool when using shady irons (see, any iron in a hotel room). It gives you a little bit of a buffer in case there’s anything on the iron that might leave a mark, but they are super…

One of these fuckers... The fold down jump seat with ZERO cushion combined with the absolutely abysmal ride these things had in the first place made for a spine hammering experience.  Also, no heat or A/C to speak of, the floor was aluminum so if it was wet, you were probably going to fall on your face.  No seat…

Burger Kings apple pie used to be really good (in that triangle shaped box). Years and years ago they changed the recipe and now it sucks...

That’s fucking terrible...

It takes us AT LEAST that long to decorate. I like it. Christmas at my house when I was a kid was really all over the place. We didn’t have a ton of tradition, and there were some years when, literally we wouldn’t have had a tree if I hadn’t have put it up and decorated it myself... Take away the stress of worrying…

same. I feel like its representative of the “Christmas excitement” which has literally been brewing for 11 months when we get the christmas stuff out of the basement. It’s like the first real tangible acknowledgement that Christmastime is fucking nigh!!! I know people who don’t decorate their tree until christmas eve,…

You make a fair point.  I’m not all tinfoil hat about this or anything, i just think it’s curious is all.  

Does anyone think the “chip shortage” is going to last as long as possible? and that maybe the car mfgs are leaning into the reduced output because it’s driving up prices? if you can make MORE profit by producing LESS cars, why not do that? 

That video could have been 1 minute and 45 seconds shorter...

same. I also remember the guitar tab sites being so overrun with garbage, it was hard to find decent stuff.  

If I had the programming chops, I’d write a plugin that would automatically digest the slideshows and spit out a page that has it formatted as a single page without all the GD ads.

Slide 4: Insurance covered it, but that $5000 deductible hurt at 23 years old.

High quality comment...  Thanks for sharing the Den of Tools links as well.  

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Also, this really only applies if you have an asphalt driveway.

I looked at the trap, Ray...

His eyes are too close together.

This. It’s pretty hard to make a mistake now...

What if (hear me out)... The marketing department of these manufacturers are simply using the old name plates to generate buzz about a new model? Let’s get people talking about the “new X”. Ultimately car companies are trying to appeal to as many potential buyers of a car as possible, at the lowest cost to market…

I absolutely agree with that. The only thing I’ll say is that I believe that the movie was set in the mid 50's where that was actually the reality, and they were trying to poke fun at the absurdity of it.
