4th Gear: It’s truly the end of an era.

The new Escape is exciting, because when the 3 cylinder goes into cylinder deactivation to save gas, the whole car shakes like it blew a tire.

If I suddenly took leave of my senses and invited some children into my home to ruin some biscuits, you can bet I'd make them take their vandalised snacks with them when they left. Take your ugly, overly handled biscuits and their side serve of primary school germs home to Mum. She has to feign interest.

1. Is it faster than taking a plane? (including arriving early and time getting through the TSA)
2. Is it cheaper than taking a plane by a large enough margin, for people to take it more often?
If the answer to those questions isn’t yes, then why is there even a discussion?

You are missing the point. The point is not to ever build a hyperloop. The point is to regularly funnel money into Congressional districts through new feasibility studies. The high speed rail folks are just mad because someone else has stolen their con.

Is this permanent or a temporary Kinja glitch?

Trains would make a lot of sense if America had better trains 

This really seems like more of a Cincinnati idea. 

Okay, now I want it.

Why shouldnt the midwest get one? North Haverbrook has one! That’s where the Monorail is KING!

“And Hyperloop is sucking a lot of the oxygen out of the room.”

When we do cookie parties people come with 1 batch of a cookie shape & and some sprinkles / decorations. The hostess makes 1 batch & the frostings. Then it's like a cookie exchange and everyone shares the decorations and you take a mixed plate home- decorated or not- on the plate you brought your batch on.

“Frosting is sticky and wet? It takes a long time for frosting to dry? Longer than a party?”

A friend of mine went to a cookie decorating party a few years ago and the host sent her home with a half-dozen unused containers of sprinkles. My friend gave them to me because I bake a lot. However, I don’t decorate much. I gave one container of sprinkles away, ate one like candy, and have the other ones sitting in…

If I get invited to one of these things I am openly stuffing every third cookie into my face. FIGHT ME.

A friend of mine was trying to find a new job during the holidays. Her organization underpaid and overworked staff. No raises in years. A very passive aggressive environment where higher ups would talk out both sides of their mouths and thus never committing to anything. Everyone was unhappy.

That’s not how a cookie party works!!!!!!! People show up, decorate, and take cookies home on a plate (even if that means smudging the crap out of them on the way home). 

Joke’s on them, sitting on the toilet playing anime gatcha games until both my calves fall asleep after lunch every day is already incredibly uncomfortable.

I’m not buying it. My guess is it ended up looking a little bit too much like the original concept sketch and they decided to go back to the drawing board and make sure they were delivering something no one wanted.  This is Cadillac after all.

Yeah but this is a Corvette.
