I’m a car guy but I agree that many city centers would be way better car-free but only if some sort of shuttle was available to help disabled people from the edge parking to the city center.

I really really dislike cruises; the fake luxury, gluttony, pollution, and waste. I hate what it does to the locations where they stop (see Venice, Cancun,..) That said, I don’t want cruises to be banned because I believe in freedom. I do want all the external costs of cruises (environmental impact and potential…

At some point our nation of rugged individualists become robotic herds of sheep who carry their children and their 100 lbs of “necessary” protective equipment in a giant box of padding. It’s a lot easier to follow some arbitrary guidelines for safety than to actual consider consequences of one’s actions and choose…

No smell, just sound. It printed on normal paper by firing small pins through an inked ribbon as the head moved left to right across the paper.

Up until last year my local O’Reillys still had an Okidata. I used to own one personally many years ago. My wife printed her Masters thesis on it.

After I finish gouging out my eye with a hot poker I think I’ll feast on some tasty glass shards.

It has more fake vents. Oh and Waldo is in the back seat.

My local track is hosting its first race back next weekend. Unfortunately I haven’t bought any tires.

Any place that has government liquor stores is not fit for habitation.

Great. Now after I go to the strip club I have to take a shower... and wash my car.

Science Fiction is full of amazing cool ideas. Do you have any idea how hard it is to turn those into reality? To marshall the resources, overcome the obstacles, create a business case to support it, and then endure the endless failures and naysayers to actually make it work? Clearly you don’t.

Despite all this, I haven’t seen any evidence that teens in GA have wrecks at a higher rate than other states. People pick up on driving cues pretty fast. The teen killers are distracted driving, displays of speed, and drinking and those are independent of testing.

Clearly you haven’t taken the Georgia written test. It is full of useless trivia and nothing to test your comprehension of real-world situations.

I have friends and relatives like David. Everything they own is junk and they are too cheap to fix anything right so they are always fixing it again. David, you seem like a delightful, thoughtful, and caring person and I enjoy your stories but seriously, you are an automotive mechanical engineer and you are hanging…

Yes, I am totally in favor of good quality American manufacturing jobs. I am not in favor of propping up failing industries or supporting companies that are badly managed.

Economic destruction. Useless or inefficient companies and industries die off. Sure this leads to some pain and hardship for employees and investors but it is a necessary cycle to have a functioning economy and to get new products and services that people need and want. H-D is a demographic train wreck that everyone…

Exactly what is going to change in 3 months or even 6 months? And don’t say testing because that doesn’t prevent people from getting sick with an asymptomatic illness. We bent the curve. In 90% of the country, our hospitals are empty. If you live in New York (or Detroit) then stay in your apartment. The rest of us are…

The only ones that can save H-D are their customers. Come out with some affordable entry-level bikes and then do a major ad campaign including dealer retraining, events, and incentives to convince older riders to actively recruit and embrace “outsiders”, especially the young, into the H-D family, for the future of…

The bike itself might be safe but if cars tend to run you over then riding a motorcycle is not safe.

Daily driver. Does everything well and it is not depreciating.
