Of course, like virtually everything, unions have bad and good aspects — I’m just outlining the challenges they face in fields unlike the traditionally unionized.

Here’s my problem with unions — the seniority rules all mindset. The two guys with X years of seniority both earn $N and the guy with X-3 years earns less. And if somebody has to be let go, it’s the low-seniority guy who goes. In jobs (most of which have no been replaced by automation) where workers are essentially…

Left out the part I really wanted to see -- how do you get the valve springs out?  It doesn’t look like a “normal” value spring compressor would work.

If the DOT wants zipper merges then they should pony up for traffic lights and signage (“one car per yellow”) so it works right.

Even if you are dumb enough to not believe in germs, he wipes his own ass right?   Guess he likes his food with a twinge of poop-flavor.

It might not look quite so awkward on a single-cab (for the 3 people who bought that configuration).

On behalf of the State of Iowa, I apologize for us unleashing this giant turd into the D.C. punchbowl. Still, we don’t need him back. Find something else to do with him, please.

No idea what they are playing, but my two kids still play on their 3DS’ quite a lot.

Opened a solid looking, but slightly past date, can of corn the other day — it hissed and a greenish liquid oozed out (reminded me a bit of the hydrofluoric acid episode of Bones a few years back). It went right down the disposer. Gross. “If in doubt, throw it out” is my thinking. No way losing a couple bucks worth of…

Exactly. We have a daughter in the 8th grade, she is *always* the one who ends up doing the lion’s share of the work. And the teachers damn well know this — any halfway observant person can tell that they’ve allocated 1 diligent student to each team. Her current project, due in 10 minutes is her, an ELL student (who…

Yeah, I’ve towed 6.5T with my “little” EB F-150, with 900-1000 ft-lbs I’d think you could pretty much just pull a house off its foundation.

Seriously? just how much tip do you think you loose on a $6 kids meal vs $12 meal?? Our son ate off the kids menu at some places well into his teens and nobody said a word about it (being smallish and having a sister 12 years younger surely helped “the ruse”). He’s a “supertaster”, (he finds ordinary table pepper “too …

You are unfairly besmirching the mediocre -- this toolbag is several rungs below mediocre.

‘89 ISUZU PUP here

How much to have Matthew come sweat all over it and say “Alright, alright, alright!”?

Unless you live in some god-forsaken wasteland like Nevada or West Texas, where is that at all a realistic approximation of highway driving?

“LESS THAN COMPLETELY AND OPAQUELY COVERED HUMAN GENITALS, PUBIC

For some reason the phrase “Rode hard, put up wet” comes to mind.

People still wear pantyhose?  Who knew.

IMO, the word that needs to die is “unpack”.
