Given the very expensive non-stop TV advertising both before Christmas and ever since, I presumed they were burning VC cash like crazy in an attempt to find someone to buy the operation. This sort of thing is seldom sustainable long-term.

This article should have been labeled as an op-ed. The opposing viewpoint is equally valid as the one the author puts forward. There is far too much govt nannying happening in society lately. Public Health needs to stick to infectious disease, clean and safe water, and similar core functions.

Such a ridiculous list. It is all fanboy specials, and has nothing to do with anything being underrated. Hyundai/Kia products are all current-day auto journo favorites regardless of how bad they actually may be. Most are not robust cars and come with corners cut and design flaws waiting to blow after a few years. The…

The only thing worse would be a govt-owned shipper. Mercedes might get her vehicles 5 years from now, if they don’t lose them beforehand.

It really isn’t hard to imagine a time when auto companies gave consumers what they said they wanted - that being bigger, faster cars with Buck Rogers styling. Nobody out there in the ‘50s was asking for safety and very few were asking for better fuel economy or cleaner exhaust either. He did a good job highlighting…

I find it mostly unwatchable. So many meathead shows. I keep waiting for the producers of this stuff to realize that someone who might have a talent for rebuilding an engine or painting a car does not mean they also have the talent to act or be a comedian.

Well, New Top Gear has rich younger guys of color doing that now and it is no fun to watch at all.

The CFO had been hired by Hackett from outside the company just a couple of years ago and he needed the guy he was replacing to stay on for 6 months after he started to help him learn. He wasn’t well-regarded after that and it when Hackett announced he was stepping down the CFO probably knew he was gone. You don’t…

Dad bought a ‘71 Monaco 4-door hardtop new, basically this same car except for trim differences and a change to the Plymouth dashboard for ‘71 for reasons unexplained. It was a great highway car with incredible room inside. But it was so big that he had a hard time dealing with it in the city, especially parking it,…

I find the vibe between the two of them really tense and passive-aggressive, especially on her part. I keep thinking she is a secret 2 pack a day smoker (Chip did mention her smoking one time IIRC and she does really look like that) who is always on the edge of a nic fit.

I find her really unattractive both in terms of looks - those squinty eyes with the excess liner, ugh! - and personality. I find him just annoyingly goofy. Add to that the cookie-cutter design style and it is a show whose popularity baffles me.

Cigarette smoking may be down to 6%. But over 20%, maybe closer to 30% in some instances, are smoking weed regularly. I’m not sure that was such a good trade.

Thinking back to how I was at age 15, if I was your daughter and saw my mom using “my” Juul regularly I would either demand one of my own or just acquire another one somehow and start using it openly in front of her. She really doesn’t have much of an argument. The scare stories about vaping are almost totally…

This. They were always the obnoxious, outrageous, law-stretching, extremist bad-boy media that somehow, some way. got bought into by corporate media in their pursuit of profits instead of quality. They were always hot garbage. Shut it down, take your tax write-offs, and blow it up.

What’s it take to get comments approved around here? I’m in “Pending” hell again.

Just as I was reading your comment the exact same thing happened to me!

I thought Danette was actually being far too kind in her recap. This was perhaps the worst Curb episode I can recall. Not one laugh from me, not a one, which has never happened before. I found myself looking at the clock wondering when it would finally end. The only thing that even made me grin was the whole…

Exactly! Plus the scene with the Muftis was absolutely laugh-out-loud funny. The commentary about how buffet lines are interminable because you have to wait while they cook the eggs was such a contrast to the tone of the situation, and “This is new information” said in a dead-serious way after the recitation of all…

“I don’t think we were supposed to view the testimonies against the Seinfeld characters as being 100% accurate.”

Take a look at the wives/GFs of a random selection of 70 y-o billionaires and get back to us.
