I live in Texas. Republicans have absolutely no problem with crime. They only have a problem with crimes committed by “other people.”

Yeah, but that’s the problem with safety systems. They’re kind of all-or-nothing. If I can’t trust it to work every time, then I can’t trust it to work any time.

1. Be clear.

I do this, but for an entirely different (and dumb/boring/lazy) reason: I’ll put a towel on the door to indicate the dishes are clean when I’m too busy or lazy to fully unload it. Who knew I was hacking this whole time?

Not a terrible idea. Not sure how it’s different than a sticker with your email address on it. And I’ve watched people fumble with QR codes, so it’s maybe a little worse. But if someone likes them and they think it’s helpful, I’m not going to tell them they’re wrong.

Minivans are underrated.

People who order drinks in bars regularly aren’t generally specifying the type of glass

While the post is pretty idiotic on its face, it also skates right past the fact that $$/mile is not the only benefit of electric vehicles, as if that’s the only difference between the two energy sources. Money isn’t the only cost.

What movie did you see in the theater at way too young an age?

That’s just patently false. Physics will teach you that pretty damn quick.

No I don’t feel the same about driving under the limit.
