Oh please, I’m not asking for no ads or anything for free. I’m asking for the primary content, ostensibly the content that the ads are meant to support, to work and display as well as the advertising.

Autoplay videos, pop-up ads, and sponsored posts loading in between actual content just as I am trying to click...all working perfectly.

At that price and fuel economy, why not just get an Ford Flex Limited EcoBoost and fold the rear seat down flat if you only have a couple kids to put in it and you’ll have more storage space than the Edge?

The dash itself is a bit dated but looks alright, that steering wheel though, ugh, why is the airbag bulkier than a comparable era Taurus, in fact it looks more like it was lifted out of a Taurus but from the decade earlier jelly bean refresh in 1996.

That brief moment in time when I could T9 text basically blind, even knowing that you had to scroll once and press ok to get from ‘Them’ to ‘Then’.

You make it sound like they’re flying from LA to NYC by intentionally going the wrong way around the planet. As you briefly mention, if you want to get from Straya to NYC for business or pleasure your other options are...still spending 20 hours in the air but landing once?

I’m not positive, but I think he means that if you disagreed with the regime and were going to subtly sabotage the value (fangs?) of the inevitable post-mission propaganda, this would be one way to do it. It is oddly worded and unclear though.

Had a friend in high school, daughter of two French-Canadians who until she was 16 was still finding out that her parents taught her words wrong. The last one I remember was telling her that spatula is not pronounced spuh-TOOL-uh.  Silly Quebecois.

I admit, levelling Istanbul and Ankara is not a suggestion that I have heard floated before. I have a feeling that doing so would go over much worse on the international stage than just abandoning the Kurds.

I don’t want to sound dismissive, I think there could be a reasonable discussion about it, but no, I personally don’t think they present a significant national security threat even if they reconstituted to their strength a few years ago.

And when he first indicated a year ago that he wanted to leave did they accelerate a negotiated process? Nope. The ‘adults’ are suckling at the DoD teet and chose to slow roll his decisions until he was sick of it and decided to make a move.

Everyone will probably pile on you and tell you that we should come up with a better exit strategy that doesn’t leave the Kurds in a precarious situation and they’re wrong because all that does is delay the inevitable. These conflicts are pointless and endless (likely by design of course) and the same people that…

I suppose the same soap everyone else uses to wash the American blood from participating in these pointless international conflicts that have nothing to do with American security at home off their hands?  I'd say Irish Spring.

Because Congress de facto abdicated their authority to declare war about 75 years ago.

Desperation is a stinky cologne.

“who doesn’t stop for a rest when driving 300-400 miles anyway?”

I sometimes think the problem is that to an average person, millions and especially tens or hundreds of millions of dollars still seems like a lot of money (and it is). So, it is easy to deride certain government programs as wasteful (and they certainly could be), but when the federal government operates more on the…

Absolutely right, I am going to make an assumption that this guy’s doesn’t have these strapped to his car all the time.

Embedded posts are trailing off the right side of my screen in vertical mobile browsing.  Everything else is centered and I can't scroll right/left.  Happening for anyone else?

Seeing the Z8 first as a ten year old really made the Z3 a big let down.
