I don’t mind electrical or plumbing, most of the time they’re pretty easy (but I have an Engineering degree). In fact, when the inspector came out to inspect the new heat pump I mentioned above, he noticed the new-looking hot water heater and asked the contractor “I don’t see that on your permit, did you do that…

[contractors] “will drive you crazy by a. not showing up; b. showing up the wrong day; c. deciding how they want the finished product to be vs. you; d. finding extras.” Exactly. I don’t need that — the only one I’ve ever used is for a new heat pump (where you pretty much have no choice). Anything else, if I can’t diy…

Have to be the ‘70 Superbird.  Completely outrageous.

Pretty sure there’s a Hallmark card for “I agree with all your points”, but I’ll be arsed if I’m gonna go get it.

A couple of egg cartons work pretty decently for this job.

Really!?   Well, crap, they might as well Deadspin this place then.

Oz would last no more than 1 presser, he’d (try to) upstage Trumpy and he’d be gone down whatever hole they tossed Rudy.

Before this article, I thought *everyone* played Spades during HS lunch — we did in small-town Iowa (about as white a place as you can get).  No liquor though, so not doing it right.

Here I was feeling suave for putting on pants, deodorant and a mostly clean shirt. Working from home is the bomb. I’m “at” work by 6am and thus done by 2:30pm.

Excuse my dumbassitude, but having only ever played Ace High, how the F do you play with the Jokers -- I have to assume you toss out two other cards -- which ones?

A much better explanation than this one ... https://adequateman.deadspin.com/a-caucasians-guide-to-spades-1781268460

Can you imagine if they told you they were putting you on a “Fiat Quality” ventilator?  Scary. 

The GT500 version will have TWO ass fans installed!

Dear Navy: here’s an idea, cost ~$0. In the peak morning period, lock off 2/3rds of the heads. Shitting is thus (ahem) “spread out”.

A flat-6 would probably be too wide for its location in this car.

It got you to report the story, didn’t it.   THAT’S WHY.

Round these selfish ass shitheads up and lock them all in those unused pro stadiums where they can just infect each other.

Probably, just buying time to get all those copies of Doom: Nook Edition out the door

My brother’s first job out of college in the ‘80s was writing this kind of stuff for “Clear With Computers” a company who made these for GM (and some others).  Amazing for its time.  Also located in, of all places, Mankato Minn.

5th Gear: we’ve known for at least 25 years that “trying to relieve congestion by adding capacity is like trying to relieve obesity by loosening your belt”, but the road building industrial complex is just too powerful.
