Why not all of them?

‘13 ForTwo: Sequential trans shift is soul-crushingly slow.

Growing up in the 70s and 80s in MO we didn’t go out on the town much. Got McD’s maybe twice a year when traveling and got to go to the movies once every few years. When we went to the movies we got to go to Long John Silvers. It was very nice at the time, even for fast food. It seems like no one takes pride in their…

lol, it’s a fair question

I will admit to having mis-read the instructions. I saw the “leave it in” for a full load instructions and it didn’t register the “for 15" bit in the middle of the sentence meant to pull it out fifteen minutes into the cycle. Seemed weird to me to assume a cycle was 15 minutes long, but the whole article seemed weird…

When we are thinking about getting pizza at our house we then have to think about whether we’re in the mood for LC, Dominos, Pizza Hut, local, yada, yada, yada. But when someone says

When I built my house I made the bathroom and utility/laundry room share a wall and put a hatch in the bathroom wall with a short little chute that dropped clothes into a basket right beside the washer. There are few things I have done in our 23 years of marriage that made my wife as happy as this.

Very impressive!

Add dry towel - No. A pound of water goes into the dryer, a pound has to come out the exhaust pipe. How it is distributed inside the drum is of no consequence.

Add tennis balls - Maybe, but seems pointless. In theory they can act as tumble media to loosen up the clothes compacted by the washer spin cycle and improve…

The ‘never charged when you need it’ was a problem with the bigger jump packs that were the size of an overnight duffel and I was concerned it would also be true of these little power bricks, but turned out to be a non-issue. Because of current lithium battery tech they hold a usable charge for a ridiculously long…

Ah, that makes more sense. See? I’m not a gambler. The language was throwing me. That

I’m not a gambler, so can someone explain to me why I would spend $105 to win $100? Everything I’ve read say negative odds mean you’re more likely to win. OK, I get that from a mathematical POV, but so what? I won and got my $100 given back to me and had to pay out $5 for the privilege. What good do I get from that?…

All the supers/hypers.

Our standard whenever I make my 3-day ramen is mayu.

Driving home from school with Dad in the early-80's in the old Bonneville. Nothing really going on then suddenly a dark streak flashed by the driver’s side window, kinda up and backwards. Before anyone could get out a “what the heck was that” CHUNKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK the front left suspension hits the asphalt…

Same. It took me a while to get over the fear instilled in me in childhood that any food not refrigerated would kill me, but once I got past it my toast quality got so much better. Room temp butter is the only way to go.

...aim for cars under $30,000-ish

I’m going to go ahead and object to #3. I don’t work there and haven’t had the training the people on the other side of the counter have. Don’t expect me to remember how all that gets put together. You’re the professional here, not me. I’ll repeat the order as many times as you need to get it all down. That said, I’ll…

C’mon, who of us hasn’t been left somewhere by some exhausted parents who lost count of how many hellions they stuffed in the family truckster or got distracted by an argument with a stranger over a bill? Highway rest stops, gas stations, restaurants...airports, apparently. It happens.
