Mercedes, I love your writing...but how could you make a suggestion that will take two months to acquire, when she only has 12 months to live? She needs her butt in that convertible yesterday!

Thanks for the tip!  I have some in-laws from Spain, so occasionally I get my hands on the good stuff.

Sorry I missed that; but in my defense, Tesla Stans are sort of like Trump in that they’re beyond comedy. Anything they say, no matter how ridiculous, could very well be real and sincere.

I think one of the interesting quotes comes from the CNN article cited by this article re: the fact that adaptive cruise control was engaged:

Torchinsky literally wrote a whole article giving a very rational and thorough answer to your question:

My wife and I have talked about this repeatedly:

The current problem is that we're not on track to hit that "bulk of people" that will give us herd immunity.  Right now 20% of Americans won't get the vaccine (https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2021/04/1-5-americans-say-they-wont-get-covid-19-vaccine).  Add in the fact that right now we can't immunize kids,…

I’ve tried this recipe before using Olive Oil, and it always came out bitter. The internets have told me this is because of polyphenols in the oil that separate as you mix them up. I tried using a small blender (Cuisinart Oscar), and doing it by hand...and it always came out bitter.

A friend of a friend (in other words someone I don’t know, and have never met) is attempting to start a new gas station chain here in Illinois: Wally’s (the name is a tribute to Wally World/National Lampoon’s Vacation).

I’ll make the same post re: the smores dip that I made a year ago when it was first posted:

Posting is already down. For $2000, I would have bought this in a heartbeat. I’m in Chicago, and I was already contemplating a road trip to Boise. I wouldn’t feel real safe about dailying this on highways, but for bumming around the city, taking my kids to baseball practice...this would be perfect.  I’d beat the fuck…

Can we also get them to stop using their sirens to run red lights?  Can’t count the number of times sirens are flicked off as soon as they clear the intersection.

Came out here fully prepared to pull some anonymous internet tough guy shit about how it’s not that hard to restore if you’re pulling parts from other models or what not. But holy shit that was amazing!

I haven’t been in a U-Haul in a long time, but wouldn’t be a latch on the inside to prevent kidnapping, trafficking, etc. (like the escape latches required in trunks)? Or are these trucks exempt from those laws because they’re used for commercial purposes?

I think most people out here that are under 50 have probably heard of him. I’m not a big hip hop fan, but he crossed over in a big way... Like if you listened to pop music in the late 90s, 00s... You knew him. He probably has over a billion spins on spotify, and his tunes are in lots of movies, sporting events, etc.…

Re the whole unsanitary-ness of the whole thing, is that even a real bathroom? I do see a toilet paper dispenser, but at the 1:50 mark, the camera pans to a bunch of guests hanging in the backyard. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a bathroom with a door that opens straight into a backyard. Maybe a pool house? Just seems…

Yeah, there’s a ton of ways. Just pull some Gandalf white-wizard shit, mix in some timey-wimey wormhole, resurrect him to save the universe while knowing he has a ticking clock before he has to rejoin the worms in the earth.

A-fucking-men. The fact that they don’t have a seat sensor tied to “autopilot” is what has always befuddled me. Like others have noted, a camera making sure your eyes are on the road would probably be best, but the least they could do is throw in the seat sensor.

Caveat, I’m no expert, but for the average consumer I think LCD/flatscreens are kicking CRTs ass in most of your CRT pros column:

I don’t know if I would call it a terrible premise, but Brockmire pulled off a similar feat: taking a three minute one-note sketch, and turning it into four, wonderfully profane and heartfelt, seasons.
