I can’t help but think your thoughts are reckless here and I’m wondering how much thought and research you put in before writing your piece. We all have our opinions, view of human behavior, liberties, and philosophies, but I’m surprised that you’re taking such a blase conclusion.  Generally I against bad stuff for…

I’m with you. My uncle was a pulmonologist and was adamant against smoking. He didn’t live to see the tech of vaping, but I’d imagine he would be pleased to see the efficacy of weening off adult habitual smokers yet cringe at the prevalence of youths picking up the vape pens.  If the stats are correct, the number of…

I’ll never forget that one...it looks like it could be an “everyman’s Batmobile”

I think you’re assuming too much here. There are a number of reckless drivers causing a number of traffic accidents (some fatal) with no one chasing them. Let’s just face it, the road has too many unstable folks with poor judgment.

I’m spoiled here in southern California where the temperature doesn’t really stay below 48 degrees or temps above 88 degrees for more than a few hours. Velour cloth seats also works as a good insulator and neither gets scorching hot in the summer sun nor bone-chilling cold during the winter. I only use the heater when…

It really depends on your life situation. My obtuse response would be, what kind of a loser has only one car? Joke aside my wife and I drive the hell out of our cheap off-lease Fiat 500e...we’re talking driving 120 miles a day on a BEV that only has an 80 mile range at full charge. For longer trips, we have a 700 mile…

Oh come on...you’ve never had to make an extended stop at a gas station from the sushi or day-old hot dog you purchased?  

I was thinking about replacing our dirt-cheap off-lease Fiat 500e for a used 2017 e-Golf ($20K), good for about 50% more range than our Fiat, but the lack of a liquid active cooling system does not give me confidence against battery degradation. VW and the first-gen Nissan Leaf are the only two that I know of to…

My wife’s colleague was strongly considering joining Tesla’s legal department, but our other friend (engineer) warned us that Musk hates lawyers and the turnover is high. Innovators generally dislike being told what they can’t do or what legal restrictions limit what they want to do or say...Musk is on a whole other…

Thanks.  I’ve been thinking about this for far too long...like over two decades.

It’s a frustrating fact that most headlights suck and the report proves it. I don’t understand why the standards are so low and manufacturers are so bad at putting together a couple of engineers/designers to make the better headlights. I mean, I’d rather have the best headlights/headlamps retrofitted with Bondo and…

I guess unseasoned chicken works for people who find milk too spicy...

I remember being in pre-school when I discovered Santa wasn’t real. My older siblings and I were playing hide n’ seek and I stumbled upon some Xmas presents in our parents’s large closet (a good hiding place for a kid). The gifts were wrapped in thick bonded brown paper and that was a dead give-away that my austere…

The hard part would be anticipating which car will still have parts and support 40 years down the road. I’d be leaning towards a roadster like a 1st gen Boxster, MG, Austin Healey, or older Jag.  

Anyone else for banning Samek from motoring on a public road? Drunk, asleep, and misusing AP seems rather dangerous to the public. Dude should be forced to Uber everywhere because he can’t be responsible behind the wheel of a performance vehicle that could potentially result in a big fiery crash.

We can only presume until an investigation concludes its findings.  It seems pretty clear to most of us, but our thoughts and statements hold a lot less accountability than the authorities.  

I could never get comfortable with headphones in my ears (I sweat profusely and easily at temps above 70), so I just run without listen to music...although I keep a mental jukebox playing in my head. I try to match the song with the cadence of my stride or breathing pattern. I tend to jog in a 4/4 or 3/4 rhythm.

Anyone else bothered about the lumping together or Israeli government policy, Israeli people, and the Jewish religion. As I see it they are 3 complete different entities. Perhaps it is because I’m an American millennial with diverse friends, including non-religious ethnic Jews, practicing Jews, and Jews who do not…

It might actually even out as the transportation, storage, lost yield, and distribution costs would be mitigated. I probably consume about 3 heads of lettuce a month and could very easily afford to pay a couple of dollars (literally) a month for safe food, better quality, and to support my local hippy-dippy farmer. I…

My wife is a corporate defense attorney and she’s always talking about how expensive it is to operate a business due to idiotic employees.  Sometimes a corporation installs all the right policies, most of the time they fail to enforce them, and of course they go out the window when morale sinks.  It’s expensive to…
