So, once you bypass this cooler, how do you keep the transmission cool? presumably, the engineers initially did this because there is a temperature concern. If you plan on off-roading it, I don’t know that you want an automatic with no cooling.

I’ll take your dirty Range Rover and raise you modern Range Rover spotted actually driving off road. It was not the most difficult trail, but it was at least a few miles off pavement.

Harmonicas always get my carry-on bag checked... I have been told they look vaguely like magazines on the x-ray. I imagine the same thing is true of checked bags.

Nah, they changed that forever ago. They needed to make DHS look like it was a necessary department, so they shifted some actual, important things under it. SS has not been part of Treasury since 2003.

There is no way the new Ranger will have a solid front axle. When was the last time a small or mid sized truck had a solid front axle? And what is the market for a mid-sized truck with a solid front axle in the US? I am going with “very small” on that one.

Definitely a broiler on mine. I use it from time to time. Don’t store things in a broiler, it would be a bad idea.

I have had that Buffalo Classic for a few years now, and it is amazing. It makes playing SNES games perfect, and an SNES controller is suitable for NES, GB, and GBA games as well.

You can set up multiple presses of the on button in the official Hue app. It is pretty easy. I have that set up in my living room (one tap to turn on the lights in a way that simulates the old 40 watt incandescents they replaced, second tap for bright, white light, third tap for very dim, warm light [movie watching,…

Asheron’s Call was so good. Because of it, I was never addicted to any later MMO. The near endless, continuous world and commitment to new content has yet to be truly matched, in my opinion. I remember being able to run straight across the world (given enough time, and given enough strength to deal with the types of…

I never had package theft problems when I lived in NY, but in San Diego the problem is rampant. A couple of years ago, they caught a lady who was literally renting a U-Haul and following the UPS truck. I get everything delivered to Amazon Lockers, work mail rooms, and other safe locations. I have a standing order with…

This bothers me to no end. My last name is like this. Normal English pronunciation will not always lead people to pronounce it right, but it would definitely lead them away from the pronunciation most people seem to choose. I don’t get it.

I agree. I have been in Southern California for 6 years now, and I see people do all sorts of stupid things driving in the rain. I have not experienced one thing that made me feel any of it is justified.

There is a set process for a tie, but not for what happened in Bush v Gore. That was a dispute over how votes were counted. Presumably, some other argument over the propriety of some part of the election process may be brought to court.

I might consider driving this. It would probably get me everywhere I go (driving in the desert, dried up lake beds, rough trails, but no rock crawling, occasional shallow mud). Only problem is that I am sure it will prioritize road comfort and sleek looks over functionality. Give it good tire clearance, give it more…

As mentioned in the article... They are only automatically downloading, not installing. This is to make it appear to be magic when you do choose to upgrade (“What!? How can it upgrade without download time?”) and will suck for people who need the disk space, but should not have much effect on most others.

It does not really take a couple of beats on the iPhone either. You can say your whole command with the “Hey Siri” and it will catch it. If you say “Hey Siri” with no command, you will get Siri to load as if you pressed the button, but you don’t need to wait for that. For instance, when being supremely lazy at night,…

*sigh* Literally the only two use cases I really want for third party Siri integration.

Oh, it definitely has a mic. It just has no input for an external mic. I have played around using it for home videos and I am quite happy with the results, but I would definitely not recommend it if advanced video work is in your future.

I am not a videographer, so I have not run into any issues at all. I would not say this is the right camera for video work.

I love the Panasonic GM5 (pictured). I picked up a mirrorless camera to shed size and weight while retaining image quality, and this really did it. It is the smallest possible camera with a large enough sensor (4/3) to get the photographic effects people want out of a professional or enthusiast system.
