Looks like my ‘13 Dart and a Civic Type R had a love child.

Ah. The article didn’t metion ad blocking, just tracking, so I didn’t realize it was a direct replacement. Unless that was part of the “and much more” or “and annoynaces”, but ad blocking seems like an odd thing to just gloss over instead of specifically mention.

Don’t use any of these, don’t feel the need. This is my list of essentials:

Meh. I’ve gotten to the age where flying in the class I can afford means a lot of pain and breathing problems. I’ll spare you the details. The extra day of travel time trains impose on my typical trip is a fair exchange for avoiding the physical toll flying comes with in my case, especially factoring in the perks of…

And while this is going on with me my wife has been pulled over into a pat-down station “randomly” and while we’re doing this our 5yr old has been ushered through with nary a pause and is headed toward the flashy blinky gadgets at the Sharper Image kiosk 1/4mi down the concourse and all this is happening while our…

In my admittedly limited experience (half dozen CA-MO round trips and handful of short regional trips) if you aren’t getting sleeping accommodations Amtrak is on par with flying for cost. Some cheaper, some more expensive. Decidedly cheaper on short regional if you catch sales. However, riding coach for a day and a…

I’ve never been, but I’ve been tempted. After seeing prices, both here and elsewhere, I have to ask: Really, objectively, is it worth it? Other than “the experience” is there any reason to pay that much when it isn’t that hard to find an outstanding and filling ribeye dinner for $30?

If this challenges his idea of what food is then I’d really, really like to know what Mike Sington defines “food” to be.

Yeah, those people at the deli are those people everywhere, not just the deli. We have another word for those people besides “vultures”.

Ah, there it is. That’s the bit I missed.

No one in this story seems particularly likable...

Mid-80's family trucksters. Huge, boxy, lumbering, inefficient, unsafe beasts with no redeeming qualities other than the internal space of a small football stadium, legendary demo derby performance, and gobs of nostalgia. This is an ‘85 Colony Park representative of the ilk, but I could have just as easily gone with…

I’ve only had one negative experience that required addressing on subsequent jobs, a job which only went on for 8 months. That stands out on a my CV as being unusually brief if I mention it, requiring some sort of explanation, or stands out as a gap in an otherwise unbroken work history spanning 30 years if I don’t,…

woks are not good on a standard range

Sadly, I was nearly 50 before I figured this out. It changed my life, I just wish I’d known it sooner.

It’s a giant PITA but I usually do all the veg separately and throw everybody back in the pan for a bit at the end to get everyone back up to temp. Avoids the problem of different cook rates and it may be placebo effect but I feel like the flavors don’t get nearly as muddled together and each thing tastes more like…

It’s not just a good answer, it is THE answer. Look at that thing. That is “wing” in its purest form.
