It’s not education, it’s culture. Germans have a very regimented, disciplined culture. They follow the rules and are generally responsible; it’s been bred into them for generations... Americans are basically the opposite.

As I was filtering up to the front of a light...

bullshit. I was cut off twice in half a block by 1 guy in a Yukon texting. I eyes him at a light and gave him the “hang up” hand signal. He looked at me like I wanted to start something (because I can only assume he was some super thug) so I told him to roll down his window and said “you nearly put me into the curb…

You forgot the “this is the microsoft windows” indian scam callers...

Tankless gas water heater FTW!

What particularly endears stoppies to me is the way that when you screw it up you get the sequential indignity of overcooking it, falling off the bike, faceplanting on the tarmac, and if you’re -really- lucky, getting smacked in the kidneys by the bike as it continues its rotation. ^_^

Although I hate it out on the street, it is awesome to see these stunts happen in an enclosed environment. The only sour thing is that some people will train and then go do it out in the streets.

I generally think the usual time to request is 10 days. If they come back and ask for 5 days, they have a second choice lined up which they don’t want to keep waiting. that’s your indicator for negotiating the pay/vacation time. It also depends on how long they took from your last interview/contact with them to offer.…

Bro, it’s Florida. If this was the most crazy thing anyone saw that day, it was a pretty good day.

Love the attitude (not really). Let’s go ahead and kill off all research and innovation, because sometimes stuff doesn’t work. Some of the biggest inventions of our time have come about after we tried things that seemed like they would be failures. Just because these solar roadways seem like bad ideas right now,…

So . . .

I forgot to write it heh. My FIL who I mentioned gets his car cleaned all the time, though we have a detail place near us who for a flat fee (I think 50 a month) will clean your car as many times as you want, which is PERFECT for his situation.

I looked into this! It was one of my major concerns. Uber actually has a very driver-friendly policy on this. You take your car for a professional cleaning, using whatever service you prefer, get a receipt and they pay for the cleaning and give you like $150 for lost wages when your car was not usable.

I wouldn’t buy the thing at the price he’s asking for it. For around $12K I could see it being an interesting science project for the right kind of nerd, but anything that car can do you can get for both better and cheaper.

Dear British military: Tanks for teaching the driver an important lesson. It certainly armed them for the future, and perhaps gave them some emotional armor to better deal with problems in the future. They were probably blown away with surprise, but will tread more lightly moving forward. Their future learning will be…

Ok to the drivers who inevitably come over from Jalopnik just to hate on lane splitting:

While driving too slow in traffic can be a hazard, the general concept of “going with the flow” of traffic isn’t going to get you out of a speeding ticket.

Space toilets didn’t become a thing until space travel was a couple decades old. Before then they had to store it in bags.

For the love of god, get this sticker and put it on the hummer.
