And I am very much about how practical it is and for me this is not a roomy car. Better than a typical small sedan, but this looks like a hatchback that was slightly stretched out.

I'm a big Consumer Reports fan. The German car companies have really fallen in quality over the last few decades. It use to be that Mercedes was the gold standard in reliability, they are definitely now on the bad end for frequency of repairs. Especially bad when the parts cost a small fortune.

I would blame all car makers who love the idea of detecting a key remotely, rather than requiring you to insert the key into a lock.

I think believing in conspiracy theories is basically a form of mental illness. Something is so emotionally upsetting for you that you would prefer to believe a fantasy. Something like repressing painful memories.

Lower warranty expectations = stronger financials.

I can handle upgrading from a motel 6 to something decent. Can't afford the 1st class upgrade for a family of 4 without selling my car to pay for it.

Thank you! What is up with people who pay a small fortune to go to see a professional sport, then spend most of the game looking at their phone?

Can't we get back to traditional values?

Ahh, but you forget the $200 to $1200 investment you need for the immersion circulator you will need to actually cook the food.

Publisher Michael Morrison said he'd visited with Lee in February and she was doing great:

The rush from gambling is the random reward system (the anticipation of finding out in an instant if I win or lose). This…

I have found it very weird that over the decades my taste in games has changed. It happens so slowly that at first you wonder if it's the games that are the problem. Maybe these just aren't as good as those games I played in the past.

I actually think it has to do with the fact that developers don't put much focus on compression or writing really efficient code because there is no longer a benefit for them.

Did you see the article that listed out all the controversies that has gotten him in trouble over the years? http://jalopnik.com/all-the-times-…

He's just caught up in the moment and trying to relate?

I was thinking the same thing. This is what use to happen and should be the standard of how developers behave. They should be applauded.

I'm just totally surprised that the elaborate screening process somehow allowed a person with anger management issues, a need to intimidate others, and very poor judgement to be hired into law enforcement.

Relentless pursuit in high school is called stalking most other places. And for the most part, these guys are pursuing girls they don't know that well. They have no idea if they are compatible or not.

In college and a bunch of friends and I see a clearly lost German shepherd puppy (maybe 6 months old) wandering in the street. And the puppy thinks it's a great game of chase, someone gets close, he runs away then runs back to start over again.
