I have a feeling that 'I forgot' is a euphemism for 'I spent more than I had and couldn't foot the bill.'

Headline - “The coolest car...is this van”

Yup, as fun as complicated heist plans are to devise, they attract attention and require a quick getaway. The real way to do this is to look like you aren’t doing anything unusual. By the time it is noticed as missing, the eyewitnesses will never remember what you look like and you will have had plenty of time to…

If it is possible for deadpan comedy to exist in text, this is it.

I expected to see some interesting driving from the Mustang, kinda boring and the officers basically didn’t get him completely boxed in.

Everything in moderation, including moderation!

But are bike advocacy groups paying scrap prices?

Burn it off, top it up, rinse, repeat. If you feel really go get ‘em (and depending on location on the block), swap the filter before you top it up.

So, the city can find out what the bike company already knows, that even at $2/bike, by the time they pay someone to get the bikes, sort through them, and swap/repair parts to make a usable bike, they might as well start a fund and just buy new Huffys for the’people and children in need.’

It means they were beyond repair economically. Sure, they could probably be fixed. The parts are probably trivial in cost but the time and labor to fix them is beyond replacement value. These things are probably sub $100 specials and having a fixed replacement timeline on them also helps to keep the fleet up to date…

Yup, I’m sure if the city wanted, they could pay some nominal scrap value to the recycling center (assuming this is a private center anyway, if public, just get them out for free) to get all of the bikes out of hock.. Instead, this is just a way to say, “I’m so outraged! Look at how outraged I am, I even tweeted my com…

It is a nice thought if you could remember to do it every time, but isn’t it just another thing in a routine that you could forget to do? The death of a child, especially due to an accident that seems so preventable as leaving your child in a car is horribly tragic, but it is also exceedingly rare. Do whatever you…

I won’t speak for Brad, but I own my home because it made financial sense. 30 year mortgage PITI payment on $50k financed was under $450/mo even with PMI. We paid off the mortgage in 3 years.

In the Pittsburgh area on I-79, I cruise at 75mph, the limit is set to 55mph and I get passed often by briskly moving troopers. So I go by them in the median doing 20 over without fear because the day I get a citation for 20 over is the day I start a personal mission that records every Trooper travelling the same…

A perfect article to gauge the public support for the growing surveillance state.  We already have one 'why do you need due process anyway?' comment.

How does a car hypothetically save a company if it is not a hypothetical car? It looks like they actually built it, sold few, and still failed. Maybe the Colt Type R Ralliart Special Edition Gogomobil is what in fact doomed Mitsu.  

I was only using your metric of stopping every 3 hours of driving. Besides a Tesla anyway, what fully electric vehicles are out there with more than 200mi range?

We do multiple 8-12 hour road trips in a year. If my stops every 3 hours are a half hour or more, I would go crazy. In your example my 12 hour, two stop trips are now 3-4 stops, 14 hour trips. But at least we’ll eat 4 times. And that assumes 30 minutes to full charge, which I may have overlooked but I’m not sure even…

Counterpoint, I thought the game was an absolute chore. It runs long already and with players prone to either indecision or insistance on perfection (AP = analysis paralysis in board game lingo) the game becomes interminable. I have played 3 times with 4 players and being done in 2 hours was not possible, games were 3…
