A few weeks ago the fam and I flew to Chicago for the weekend and had a few hours to kill before needing to get to the airport so I looked up the address to the Gallagher house from Shameless as a joke. My wife and 19yo daughter were thrilled and said it was the highlight of their trip. [insert eye roll]. There were…

I am extremely disappointed in my new Buick purchase now that I realize it could have had a foot controlled radio if GM still had their wits about them.

Still more believable than the transmissions on a Fast and the Furious movie.

I do a lot of international travel for work. It’s very common outside the states. I hate it when a hotel will only give you one room key and the slot only works with a room key. Seems to always happen in the hottest fucking countries too.

I know that in Iowa, at least back when I lived there, 89 was the go to fuel of choice because it was cheaper due to less taxes. The lower tax was to incentivise the ethanol industry. Don’t know if it’s still that way or not.

Apple actually copied the notch design from an Android phone. But of course a Gizmodo property wouldn’t admit that.

Same here. I did a whopping 84 months at 0.9% on my wife’s new SUV last year. Had planned on only doing 48 months but the rate was the same. Sure I’ll pay a bit more in interest but it doesn’t amount to much. Working on a deal right now on a new car for myself and it’s looking like I’ll get the standard 1.9% for 60…

Who said anything about horror films. There are plenty of videos of real life violence available online with a simple Google search.

My son, 8th grade, nailed a 3/4 court buzzer beater the other day. His team still lost by 2 after that but it didn’t matter for anyone in the gym. Everyone agreed it was the greatest shot of the entire tournament. It was amazing to watch as the boys on the other team surrounded him cheering after he made it. There was…

Is it not possible to just climb over the trash pile to get out?

I probably would have settled for a second free lunch.

It’s not necessarily that you think the brand is better. It’s that you have experience with the brand and know what you can expect. It’s similar to how I have one dish that I always order from each restaurant I go to regularly. I know exactly what I’m going to get. No random surprises and disappointment when the…

Hot take: Pay your bills and shit like this doesn’t happen.

My last name is the same as a national consumer products company. I had registered my name in 1995. A year later that company contacted me and offered me $1000 as well as about $1000 in their product. I couldn’t say yes fast enough. I thought it was cool to be getting even the free lunch from a fancy business man (who…

Oh come on, not a single Aliens comment yet?

I hate when they ask if it’s a special occasion. No it’s not. You’re fucking Olive Garden and it’s Friday at lunch time. Who goes to Olive Garden for a special occasion?

Can I get that chart with an overlay of which political party was in the White House at the same time please?

Well no shit. Every single for-profit institution has a single goal. That is to earn a profit. How they go about it is where CSR comes into play and corporate advertising such as this is used. I’m just saying that their execution wasn’t well thought out. They could have got their message about serving others across a…

I get what you’re saying. The point of the ad was to say that FCA identifies with MLK’s values. But the execution wasn’t that good.

Almond milk > than all other milks. I switched to it from cow juice not for any health reasons. But simply because it just tastes better. I love the stuff.
