Tangent here, but when did plastic gloves become a thing for food service? Are people that afraid of germs or disease? I worked in a commercial kitchen during high school and we only wore a glove if you had a wound. Anecdotally, I wore one to cover a golfing blister for a few days.

Maybe it should be more severe. It’s hard to justify 102MPH on a 40MPH zone with legal pedestrian crossings. I can believe vehicular manslaughter and negligence at anything <60MPH, but going 62MPH over the speed limit should have a new category when injury to innocent occurs.

I can’t imagine these selling well at all; the market segment is rather crowded and I’m not sure what the RDX does well that sets it above the rest for the price. I loathe the interior as a driver, but it might be pretty cool for the passengers who don’t need to pay attention to the road.

I’ve never had a car payment in my 22 years of owning cars. My secret is to buy reliable and easy to DIY used cars at a fraction of their new price, and to pay cash. I’ve contemplated taking a car loan on my last purchase since loan rates were as low as 1.5%, but I didn’t.

Best in show for a car in Brooklyn. I expected the bumper covers to have been held up by bungee cord and zip-ties.

I made the exception with buying a used off-lease 2013 Fiat 500e. It was only $7,300 out the door and has been great for us. There are a few exceptions where the first production might have made more sense. The 2008 Nissan GTR was a hell of a lot more affordable than subsequent years.

It’s nice to get back to basics from time to time. Cars have a lot of tech and power to the point where less can be more enjoyable. I love renting economy cars while on vacation because it also makes you appreciate what you have in your garage all the more. I typically stick to renting underpowered 4 cylinders for…

Exactly. Articles are figuratively giving you a fish, Google searching (or any other research) is figuratively learning how to fish. People need to learn how to extrapolate an idea into something that suits their needs rather than complain? Not everything in life is going to be spoon-fed to you in life.

I agree. I test drove a 2016 model for my then 65 year old mom. The automatic seems to upshift much sooner than you’d expect and felt very anemic as if the engine was lugging along. The manual just felt better, though I would have liked a taller 6th gear set. My brother and I bought my mom the manual version with a…

Non-lighting engineer here...just a frugal guy that is partly interested in conserving and technology. I bought my first house 6 years ago and replaced 40 of my most commonly used recessed-can incandescent lightbulbs with various LED bulbs. I started with 2700K bulbs that were on sale (Kobi, Philips, Lighting…

I typically only buy their frozen lemonade. It tastes more like a lime soft-frozen custard than a frozen lemonade but perhaps that’s why I love it so.

The whole institution of policing and oversight needs to be reviewed. The check and balance of internal affairs, the district attorney, and the police union is a complicated mess.

I’ve been using the stems for stir-fry. If the stems are really touch, I just take a vegetable peeler to take off a thin layer of the skin (I do the same with thicker asparagus bottom sections). As for the broccoli, you just need to slice it to the proper thickness so everything cooks evenly with your other…

I love the Little Goat and just about all the things that Izard does at her restaurants. I very much enjoyed the goat chili.

Good points. Those scenarios don’t really occur in my city of Newport Beach, Ca. I’m not saying what should be allowed, I was merely stating the conditions in which I don’t mind a cyclist on the sidewalk.

I’d rather spend my money here compared to the Z4, I assume most people would do the same if they had to choose between one or the other.

Probably, being the operative word:

I guess if you’re in a metro area a cellphone is much more versatile than a vehicle. It’s probably be cheaper to ride-share and bike everywhere compared to paying for a car, insurance, parking, maintenance, repairs, etc.

My wife really hates that too. I don’t mind if two of the three conditions are met:

That would be nice, but unless the bowls of food are served in a cafeteria, sit-down restaurant, or in someone’s home, my guess is that most the food trucks and fast causal restaurants will use styrofoam or plastic bowls. The UK has a pretty good recycling system, but we’re just not that sophisticated here in the…
