Woke marketing is just marketing. If its a company that operates for profit that is the bottom line: for profit. I am fine with this as profit motive drives innovation, however a corporation is just that a corporation. If it chooses to position itself as a champion for this cause or that cause it would stop it in a…

There is a reason the term “Masshole” was coined.

Honestly, the dibs system is one of the only things that still allows me to have faith in humanity. Somehow we all follow the social contract, and frankly, I feel like I’ve only ever once had someone steal my space.

School lunches have been going wrong (wronger?) since the “central kitchen model” was introduced in the 80's. At our elementary school in the 70's the lunch ladies - always ladies - actually cooked. Some of it was amazing, some of it was good, some of it was okay, and some of it was pretty bad. But it was always hot…

Excellent write up. Well done. Those of us who wrench our own cars truly know how much of a pain this can be. The upside is rolling around with a cool, maintained car and a sense of satisfaction/completion that can’t be purchased.

My my, you left some primo undrafted free agents on the board this time round, and that means I don’t have to venture too far into the what-fresh-hell-is-this-Fox territory that these comments of mine usually devolve into by round five.

I believe it was after Sum of All Fears that Clancy’s “writing” process became “handing off a 12-page outline to a ghost writer while I roll in my great big piles of money.”

The problem with trying to affordably blend with people on something they consider status symbols is they know the details of their status symbols.

This was quite educational. I only watched the actual footage once, and it was hard to see exactly what happened due to the fact that the camera shot was mainly focused on the cars coming through Eau Rouge/Raidillon. By the time the camera changed, Hubert had already impacted the wall and by then it was just flying…

Because I believe in reasonable debate on this site, I looked at your sources. The first was behind a paywall, but the BBC article is simply a summation of the first article. One news story referencing one article doesn’t seem to be a robust body of work.

“I’ll need five gallons of diesel and some high-octane gezzaline...”

i dont like or want all this tech in my cars and im not that old....

God dammit, this shit is going to kill someone. Autonomous cars? Fine, as soon as the tech is sufficient. But this semi-autonomous shit is dangerous. Either I am driving a car, or I am not. I do not wish to have an argument over who is driving my automobile at highway speed, not with a human, and goddamn sure not with…

I always felt like when a chicken spot says they are out of chicken, it just means we don’t feel like cooking anymore (you can experience this about an hour before closing at any city chicken place). This might be a first for me though for a place to be acutally sold out. Maybe this really wasn’t some chicken…

Or pick up girls in Minsk.

The EM-50 Urban Assault Vehicle.  For when you absolutely, positively have to invade Czechoslovakia.

Get the military version:

Most dishwasher manufacturers recommend tines/bowl/blade up to get things cleaner.

The larger grocery store by me has the setup where the cashiers have to do the bagging, there is a smaller one that is part of the same chain just a little closer and they have the old setup so they don’t care if you bag your own groceries. I get pretty snobby about packing groceries in a bag and yeah—2 cans in one…

Sometimes the only reason I go to the self checkout, because I hate the thought of getting rid of a cashier’s job, is because I can do a better job bagging. I hate getting bags that have 2 cans in them and so on... I know plastic bags aren’t durable- but they can handle more than one bag of chips :(
