I came here to recommend the Mini Cooper. For me it was the Ipswich MA part that steered me to this car. Traffic around the Cape is a nightmare in the summer, during the best of times, and you not only want a car that is zippy, but a shorter wheelbase makes driving around a horde of tourists easier. I have a Mini…

“the Saturday sports thing”

Thank you! This is my question too. TSA has multiple checkpoints open at any given time, and I refuse to excuse the breach here, but I can at least understand how it happened. However there’s only one gangway. In addition, how did they manage to get on the plane and not select a taken seat which would have raised…

While they fixed the headline, it lives on forever in the URL

The lack of refinement can’t be overstated. My 2018 Crosstrek is the only Subaru I’ll ever own. The interior is what drivers look at 99% of the time and the nobs, buttons and layout are beyond lazy. It has no vents to the back seats, so the only way to cool passengers with AC is to freeze in the front. Only one USB,…

The Subaru Crosstrek hybrid got one MPG better than the ICE version. I asked about this when buying my 2018 Crosstrek (which I hate due to the lack of refinement mentioned earlier) and the dealer said they were dropped for lack of value.

Sheesh! Back to back comments about Gawker’s mobile website. I’d estimate that you’re about five minutes away from calling ex-girlfriends.

NFL division. Obviously we’re not throwing Penn State or Alabama fans into this game. Including college fandom into this debate opens the aperture too wide.    

Deadspin’s take on replay

I was deployed to Balad AB Iraq ages ago and one of the Army guys spray painted that phrase on one of the walls (I assume it was Army because graffiti...but it was also spelled correctly, so...???).  There were Intelligence warnings about the possibility of a disgruntled Iraqi on base the next week.  I had to explain…

I’m honestly just shocked that this has played out without someone using the phrase “fake news”.  I mean they’ve used tons of synonyms...but still.  

Add in the fact that Osemele’s backup is three years younger and only carries a $2m cap hit, you could easily make the case that the Jets should be encouraging the surgery to evaluate Alex Lewis’ long long term value to the franchise. But that’s just me, and I don’t fully understand how to run a NFL team. Which…

500 comments and not a single one pointing out that The Cars are rated way too fucking high?! I was very mildly annoyed that The Cult, Blur and Pulp didn’t make the long list (Common People is my drunk jam), but The Cars ahead of getting hit by a moving Speedwagon is insane.

You’re a unicorn!

I was reading a story about how immigration was causing changes in French cuisine, and the backlash that it was causing (aka “Kebobaphobia”). The article made essentially your point. Chinese and Italian food use to be found in small ethnic communities, but the article opined that rather than just deciding that…

[watches video] Ha-ha-ha!

More slo-mo replays should also feature announcer voices in equal slo-mo. We should all collectively imagine we’re tripping balls while watching the game.

“What was he thinking?”

Fortunately for you, most of us scroll straight to the comments anyways, so this warning is perfectly placed. Gold stars for everyone.
