I grew up with old tractors. Driving those things in road gear was pants-loading terrifying, and that was maybe 15-20 MPH.

I grew up on a ranch, and most of our older tractors had solid tires. They were terrifying to change.

“Deceleration Shield”? You mean the CB Radio bracket I’d always hit when my dad nailed the brakes and I slid right off the bench seat?

Note that the product name is misleading. These are not general purpose walkie-talkies. They require a ham radio license for legal use.

We always told our kids to do the elephant.

This is my situation as well. I used to run snow tires all winter but historically the pattern here in my part of CO is you get one or two days driving in the snow, then quite a few dry ones after the sun comes out. I had Blizzaks and they were so uncomfortable to use on dry roads, and especially grooved roads that…

For the love of everything, don’t be like my mother who sent us a book explaining that our baby (like all babies) was born full of original sin and would likely just be going to hell. She’s usually pretty tone deaf on things, but that one was a whole new level of WTF.

I can’t believe Steve is still a thing. He’s sexist as hell plus I disagree with his take on just about everything else.

If you do need to stop taking your meds for some reason, I hope you have a good doctor to work with. Mine flatly denied the existence of discontinuation syndrome and told me to just stop cold turkey. I came up with what felt like the world’s longest tapering plan (far more gradual than the guide linked in the…

We had a very interesting scam run against us about a year ago. Someone physically went to our post office and filled out a card specifying that my wife’s mail was to be held (not delivered to our house) for a week. The same person (or group) then signed up for a couple of credit cards in my wife’s name. Their plan…

I grew up dipping my bacon into “goop” - a mixture of peanut butter and Karo syrup.

My driver’s ed teacher drilled into us the importance of hitting small animals when they run out in the road in front of you. We all thought he was just psycho, but he explained that it’s better to hit a squirrel than swerve into oncoming traffic and hit another car. He did keep a tally of how many animals each driver…

I used to visit my mom every summer out on the peninsula in western WA and got introduced to Jojos there. Back home in Colorado, nobody’s ever heard of them and I’ve never found anything comparable - potato wedges just aren’t the same.

All of our time off is in one bucket and you get paid at the end of the year for what you don’t use. This results in people coming in to work when they’re quite sick. My entire team got the flu last year, and everyone got sick within a couple of days so it was pretty clear some knucklehead should have stayed home.

“The client needs a belly button to poke” - We need to give them the contact details of an actual person.

I’m on to your plan now. And it’s not quiche, it’s a frittata cooked into little muffin pans so they’re small and bite-sized...

#NotAllChads (Although, it does seem like a whole bunch.)

Little off-topic, but WTF is with everyone calling it “celiacs”? I’m looking at you, other commenters (and people on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, etc.)

What about places that sell even lower octane fuel as “regular”? Here in Colorado I’ve always been told (by dealers and mechanics) that I can run 85 octane in my cars that call for 87. The caveat is that I need to run 87 when I drive somewhere that’s not at altitude.
