I noticed that a while ago, when I was rushing to finish re-watching Scrubs before it was supposed to have left Netflix. It didn’t end up leaving, and I was annoyed.

As someone from the same general area as Joey, if you don’t have a car, there’s no getting around. Everything is spread out to the point that you can’t easily bike/walk to much. Bus service is extremely sporadic, and there’s no rail of any kind. I suppose there’s hitching a ride with parent(s), sibling(s), or…

The rumor is that he was originally scheduled to visit the Powertrain plant on Pilgrim Road in Menomonee Falls.

Not much the FCC can do, if this was NBCSN. As far as I understand, the FCC can only enforce rules on broadcast stations. Cable channels do “self-enforcement” to attempt to avoid the threat of Congress changing the rules to attempt to exert some sort of authority over them.

The problem is that FA really has next to nothing to do with Jalopnik, other than “the military uses vehicles,” but gets lumped in here anyway. (I think that Gizmodo Media wants to keep FA, doesn’t want to dedicate the resources to it to make it a stand-alone vertical, and doesn’t really have anywhere more appropriate…

Keep in mind that even if you have an ID from a state not on that list, it still might not be a REAL ID.

SpaceX and Blue Origin are taking two radically different, but valid, experimental methods. Blue Origin is seemingly taking smaller steps that hold relatively lower risk. They then repeat, scaling the tests a little bit each time.

I challenge someone to diagram that sentence. No, seriously, I want to see what that sentence diagram ends up looking like.

Yes, the panel discussion confirmed that Santaolalla does do the music for Part II. They even played a bit of the music from Part II.

I’ve been under the impression that the guys are playing up the legal aspects for comedy value. It’s just like all the rest of the scripted stuff they did while on Top Gear.

I’d be OK with just about everything about the Prime... except that weird dual hump tailgate. That alone is enough to put me off of this car.

When my father died last year, we called the local PD and let them know we would be out of town for a day or so for a funeral, and asked them to add patrols through the neighborhood. They didn’t hesitate; it seemed to be a fairly routine request for them. We also called our neighbor across the street to have them keep…

Milwaukee built the Bradley Center to attract an NHL team in 1988, but one never came.

Yup. There were some really bad front loaders 5-6 years back, most notably the Maytag/Whirlpool (same manufacturer) washers that netted a class action lawsuit. Unfortunately, those bad washers also sold particularly well, leaving a lot of people who bought them (and everyone they told) with a stigma about front…

Well, if you compare HE top loaders to HE front loaders, HE front loaders will win any day. They clean better and treat clothes more gently. HE top loaders, from everything I’ve heard, are pretty much rubbish. And since it seems virtually all washers on the market these days are either HE top or HE front washers,…

Good to know. I have a *very* low mileage 2006 GT, and I’m about to try and sell it. I saw the values that NADA and KBB had for it, and was planning on trying to sell it somewhere near that amount. Hearing your experience is disappointing, but at least it sets my expectations appropriately low.

There were two reasons the US series improved when they ditched the studio. The first was that all three US hosts weren’t really great on camera... but more than that, they were HORRIBLE interviewers. The only one that was barely tolerable at interviewing was Rutledge, and even he wasn’t great.

Call me old if you will, but I really like actual, physical buttons and dials for as much stuff as possible in a car. Touch screens just don’t provide a tactile response that a button or dial does. Without even looking, you can reach over and find a button or dial, but you almost always have to look over to figure out…

I agree. Carrabba’s was ranked way too low, and Buca di Beppo was bizarrely high. Buca has insane amounts of barely adequate pasta, while Carrabba’s stuff actually is quite good. (I really dig their Tag Pic Pac.)

Sonic is fast food. It wouldn’t appear on this list any more than McDonald’s or Burger King would be on it.
