I remember in the /fitness sub, there was always someone posting, convinced about how they need a custom routine or optimizing things to fit. I kinda get where they come from on that, they’re intimidated by the desire to be healthy, lose weight, etc, not screw-up and end up self-sabotaging. For folks who may not have…

The vampire/sex metaphor is undeniable, but thinking about it too much leads you to the unfortunate realization vampires are not only murderers but also rapists.

I’ve bought a cop car before and damn that Plymouth Fury could handle—un-effing-believable how good it was. The old man bought two cop cars years apart and was pleased with both purchases. And I’ll say this about police interceptors: you’re talking a lot of low stress highway miles on the vehicle as compared to a city…

 It’s got a well-used regular motor, a 330 cubic inch plant, it’s got new tires, tired suspension, probably some kind of shocks. It’s a model made for flex fuel so it’ll run good on E85 gas. What do you say, is it the new Bluesmobile or what?

My dad, a cop, always said “Never, ever buy a used cop car. You guys have no idea what we do to these things.”  So I’m gonna go with “No dice”.  

After you book, look up the address on Google Street View. Most Airbnb and VRBO will allow you to cancel without a penalty.

Open google maps, locate the general area, and type ‘AIRBNB’ into the search box. Any previous renters’ tagged photos will show up.

Just some information to put context behind this story; I was never actually SWATed, but I did go through a 7 year campaign of stalking and harassment over criticism of a Kickstarter scam game, Shroud of the Avatar, which included SWAT threats, 3 days before the fatal SWATing in Wichita, which lead to Reddit having to…

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. If you are going to ape an existing design, take one of the bazillion concept cars that were never put into production and give people something to see on the roads that would otherwise never exists. Yesterdays QotD highlighted dozens of mid-engined concepts that never saw…

In terms of Fiero rebodies.... this one is sort of close to actually looking good. In terms of Fiero rebodies.

This one hurts a bit. I don’t actually mind the Artero. It’s more “inspired by” than “trying to copy” the Diablo, so it is at least its own thing to an extent. All of the Lambo badges the owner slapped on kind of run counter to my assertion, but without those, it’s a somewhat-generic, kind-of-unique kit car.

I could see myself buying this and then replacing all the Lambo badges and script with some made up emblem and name, like a GTA car. I want to say GTA III’s Diablo knockoff was called the Infernus? It’s been a while since I played it. Turning this into a video game car could be a lot of fun at car shows. Fellow gamers…

It’s not a manual but a EV might fit the bill

The BMW M1 Homage

The wording of this article is overly confusing. It makes it sound like the policy itself “disproportionately targeted black bicyclists” and that the new AG reversed that policy, which makes it sound like a good thing... but then describes the new AG as racist. However, if you go to the source material, it was…

There are plenty...

The wonky steering column doesn’t really scare me much. A lot of cars of this period had problems with ignition switches which are hidden between the steering column and dash.

It’s not a red flag on these and Mark Vs as well. The column is made from cast metal parts and there’s a boss that the shift lever mounts to that breaks if the effort needed to get out of park is too high over time. The only fix, to my knowledge, is a replacement column.

Source: The Mark V that was eventually handed…

Just went through this myself; had a huge crush on my new boss about 2 years ago. She was such a cheery, kind, outgoing person that I fell for her. Turns out her ex (and at the time, roommate) got fucked up and beat the shit out of her one night.

A woman may have posted it here on Lifehacker, but if you actually read the article, it comes from a man, Dr. Greg Matos writing in Psychology Today.
