I’m leasing a cheap ICE car right now while I wait for EV prices to come down to my preferred level of affordability, so this seems like a decent idea - unless the contract requires you to swap as soon as your preferred model hits the lot (having preselected said new model in a way that prevents you from easily…

Big burly dudes are the exact opposite of my “type,” but I understand the appeal. He’s tall enough to make his 5'11" girlfriend feel dainty (even when she’s in 4-inch heels), he’s big enough to serve as a backup bodyguard for one of the most rich and famous women in the world, his eyes twinkle especially when he’s…

Exactly. Aside from how miserable commercial air travel is, it would be actively dangerous for her and everyone else around her if she exclusively flew commercial. 

To each their own, I suppose. NYC is dreadful but also wonderful. Gotta take the bad with the good.

I’ve been to New York City once

This was me, except I was in my mom’s Honda Odyssey and my buddy was in a 92 Camaro t-top. For the record, I won.

Some news outlet recently did an “8 years later” update on the CEO who took a paycut in order to guarantee that every single one of his employees made at least $70k/year. Despite all the doomsday predictions and a big financial hit because of Covid, the company is now doing great, turnover was slashed by more than…

A - your friends’ boozy breath wouldn’t make a difference - this article is talking about sensor tech embedded in the on/off switch that measures BAC from a scan of your finger.

Oh, good point - at some point I’d like to see biometric protection in cars, which would reduce actual theft and would also cut down on teenagers stealing their parent’s car for a joyride.

I have a scraper/brush combo with a telescoping handle and it definitely didn’t cost more than $6-7. They also make fabric windshield covers that are a lifesaver up here in the soon-to-be-frozen Midwest (as long as you put it on before it starts snowing... otherwise you still get that frozen layer trapped underneath…

Could not agree more strongly. I have paid far too much for the NYPD’s bad behavior.

I, a tiny white woman with nothing more than a 20-year-old speeding ticket on my record, got flagged at the Vegas airport for a party-size bag of gummy worms I’d picked up during my stay. Of all the things and people to be scanning in Vegas...

They’re not supposed to eat the tomato while they’re still in space. They can give it a shot once they’re back earthside and have better access to medical care in case something’s wrong with it.

Doing that over the scanner is WILD to me. It’s an insurance form for a man that died a week prior. Could’ve waited until a precinct admin came back to the office after the holiday.

You have to remember that car theft and grift and scams are probably in the Pro column for a lot of Florida residents...

I also don’t believe, for one single moment, that he has NEVER played an FPS game where killing humans (as opposed to aliens or whatever) is an integral part of the experience. It’s bootlicking at its finest, meant to signal to the magats he’s been courting that he’s a law-and-order sort of guy - even though he…

You’ll note that all of those are white-collar crimes. Violent crime would make him one of the “bad guys,” in his mind, rather than just an agitator/disruptor/“the Feds just don’t understaaaaand meeeee.”

I’d prefer to go one day without Elon doing something stupid, arrogant, or cringeworthy. Considering this will never happen, I’ve resigned myself to the news stories, because it’s better to shine a spotlight on bad actors than to give them privacy while they do shitty things and harm a lot of people (directly or…

This is the way.

I do miss wandering the aisles and letting Target tell me what I need. Now I do that at thrift stores.
