Well said. As a past volunteer member of our local SAR, I’d like to also add: There are always people who will decry the expense involved in search and/or rescue activity. In the vast majority of cases, the vast majority of people involved are either volunteer, or someone paid to be in that position anyway, whether…

Simply the stupidest thing I’ve read so far today.

I should have worded it better. Sorry, I’m not a professional writer. “The attitudes of many consumers discussed in this article represent how it has become normalized to discuss the cost of a vehicle in terms of monthly payments”.  Is that better?

For those of us who served time in the Navy, that called Haze Gray and Underway. No thanks.

If you can’t pay for it, you can’t afford it. Borrowing for anything other than your house is nothing but mathematically challenged people fulfilling their own destiny to remain poor. The discussions I hear from people with poor money management, which this article just normlizes, are talking about what they can…

It never ceases to amaze me how people with absolutely no knowledge still think it’s necessary to express their opinion as if they know what they’re talking about.  Why?

Hasn’t anyone learned anything regarding putting all your eggs in one electronic, digital, latest and greatest high tech need to reinvent the wheel, basket?

“Jesus, what kind of database admin...” An Oregon state government employee, that’s the kind.

Considering that most state agencies in Oregon have incompetent government workers working for incompetent government agencies, running various computer systems typically dating from the 90's, data storage never became plentiful, or cheap.

I keep having to remind myself that half the human race is of less than average intelligence.  

You are right. I wish they would just fly fewer flights, so the airports weren’t at the limit of their capacity, so the logistics of flying in general weren’t at the limit of their capacity and they should book their seats not so close to the capacity of each flight. Should be government regulations that keep “normal”…

I probably would have read this article, but it’s not an article, it’s a slide show.  I really have to quit clicking on click bait.

I spent 6 years in the Navy, so no, I’m not interested in any flat, battleship grey type color.  Haze Grey and Underway we used to call it.

Because

So making a little more than the average is considered rich? Yes, it’s all relative. 8 billion people on this planet, and to most of them, most in the US or Europe are rich. But labeling anyone who buys a car that is above the average price of cars, (on a car enthusiast website) is a little odd. Yes, 150k could buy 3…

Rich? What does that mean? I have a car in my garage that was pretty close to 150k and will soon get traded in on another that will probably be even closer to 150k. I live in a house that is right at the median price for houses in my town. I have no debts because I have managed my financial decisions responsibly in my…

Snow wasn’t the problem. That was ice. Tire’s aren’t digging into ice. And all season tires aren’t doing anything on ice except... what the Range Rover did. When I was a kid, everyone put snow tires on in the winter. That was just what everyone did. People talk about the vehicle, whether it’s good in snow, whether it…

Regarding the two complaints on BMW’s, the mirror tiltdown and the lane assist. As they say on the forums, RTFM. Read the manual. There is a two position mirror control switch that selects which mirror is controlled when you use the adjustment buttons. It is on the door, right where it should be, next to the…

So, what constitutes a selfie? I’m thinking a picture of yourself maybe? I don’t think a picture of a helmet visor with nothing else visible counts. The whole point of a selfie is a picture of yourself. If “yourself” isn’t identifiable, it’s not. This is the same as all the other “journalists” who like to use the word…

Yeah, and there still appears to be a good supply of tooth brushes and toothpaste.  And dental technicians for regular cleaning and whitening.
