Brace yourself. The outrage is coming shortly.

Kind of a minor one (especially in the grand scheme of Atlanta), and there’s probably a logical reason, but it’s always bothered me: Going north through the city, I85 and I75 split in the opposite direction one would expect.

One of the middle episode of Mandalorian S1 had major Battle of Endor/Caravan of Courage vibes.  I really like how the show progressed, but some of those S1 episodes were slogs. 

Wasn’t a fan. Despite living in relatively close proximity to a lot of my friends, they were never on my same route. My bus drivers always seemed to either be mean and strict or completely indifferent (never in between). Our buses were overcrowded, and often had us sitting 3 to a seat. Then in middle school I joined

My wife brought car naming to my life (never used to do it before she came along). Since we’ve been together she’s named our cars:

What’s Laurel like? I’ve never been there but it kind of fascinates me. From early on in the show I wondered how this small Mississippi town has enough people moving there and doing major renovations to support an HGTV series.  It kind of felt like one of those British murder mystery shows that takes place in some

I’m new to the projector game, but I’m a big fan of my Epson 3200. I felt like it hit the sweet spot of cost for performance. It’s pretty much an entry level 4K (albeit pixelshift 4K) projector. It’s 3LCD so you’re not going to have any chance of the rainbow effect that a small subset of DLP users notice. And the

I had LX470 in my head, and was just thinking “a fancy Land Cruiser can’t offroad?”. I see the error in my ways now.

Altimax RT43 are solid all-arounders. They’re probably not going to best the Michelin you were looking at in performance (although they might, depending on which Michelin), but they’re fantastic for the price. Great choice for a Fit.

I’m guessing the tiers here are mostly referring to the quality (or at least perceived quality) and performance of the products.

Once back in college when driving home one night in my old WRX. There was a 30-40ish mile long stretch of I-20 that didn’t have any exits with gas stations. I knew about it, but thought I could make it. Technically I did, but it wasn’t fun. When the needle was getting scary low, I slowed down to 60 or so and cut off

I am a BIG fan of those wheels.  

Wait, what? I did not know that, and now I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.

Anytime I hear “Ecosport” I have to remind myself that it’s a whole model and not just a trim for the Edge or Escape.

I don’t know if it really counts since it’s pretty much just cable TV over the internet, but if I think about what app I select most frequently when turning on my TV, it’s YoutubeTV. It’s absolutely pricey, but of the live broadcast streaming options, it’s probably the most robust (channel offerings and unlimited DVR)

As the parent of a toddler who is currently very into Pixar’s Cars, I don’t go a day without thinking of that linked article. When I saw the last gen vs. current gen in this post, I knew Torch was going to feel a great sense of relief from those new headlights.

The NFL halftime show doesn’t try to cater to the core football fan demographic. The whole point is to try to bring in more and different viewers, not just make the people that are going to be watching the game anyways happier. Or at least that’s always the explanation I’ve heard.

To your point about paying for the halftime show, he’s already an immensely popular and successful artist, so I don’t really think the purpose was to get his name out there. Probably more just to get some unique publicity for his newest album and maybe an upcoming tour or something.

My funniest tidbit about the Weeknd is that his first big hit “I Can’t Feel My Face” (the title alone being a reference to heavy cocaine use) was nominated for Nickelodeon’s Kid’s Choice award for song of the year. Good times.
