I find shit like this equal parts disturbing & fascinating. Part of it is the fact that people who can behave in the alleged manner seem so alien to me...are they sociopaths? Narcissists? All of the above? Another big factor is the “Could it happen to me??” aspect. Would I know if someone close to me was plotting my…

Rabbit Pellet Roomba!

Oh please. You go on a boat of any size (or a plane, or in a car, for that matter) and there’s a risk that at some point there’s unavoidable bad weather. The oceans are big vast scary places. Anyone who goes on a cruise (I have, and mostly likely will again) should be aware of those facts and risks. You are not at…

Q: Does every little thing have to be dissected ad infinitum/nauseam online?

A: Yes, apparently it does.

Absolutely lovely, thank you for sharing.  A very different history to my own with my mother, but you reminded me that my mother shared the “and that’s that” attitude and I carry it forward for both better and worse.

Once own an NB Miata and spent many a vacation week at a beach house three and a half hours away. I ended up getting a nylon lined waterproof bag specifically made for the Miata by Atlantic Designs which strapped to the trunk lid and had straps to keep it in place there. Also had a mat that went between the bag and…

I’m completely open to the possibility that she’s a devoted mother.

On the other hand, like the word “interesting”, “devoted” can imply different things and not all positive. And from what we know about Holmes and her history (and from some of the info shared in the article in question), I’m probably more concerned…

Oh bless your innocent heart! No one uses turn signals in Florida.

Oh jesus, here we go again. Trains don’t suddenly jump off the track in front of vehicles. There are crossing gates and signal lights & bells. Some of the vehicle accidents involving Brightline trains have been just that—a broken down vehicle on the tracks as this one was reported locally. But the overwhelming…

*Chef’s kiss* for that headline!

Whenever I read anything “Here is the newest trend!!” or “This trend is tired!”, I always wonder how much there is the tail wagging the dog.....

How does violating car rental terms equate to the vehicle being reported stolen? That’s overreach, and I see online that traditional repossession is one of the initial options here also for rental companies. I’m also curious why law enforcement felt it necessary to use that many vehicles and with drawn guns—is that…

As someone with various smart home devices, I had vaguely heard of Nexx but wouldn’t have thought of them if someone had held a gun to my head and told me to list 20 associated manufacturers. I wonder just how many of these particular controllers are out there in reality, plus of course the other devices mentioned. 

I read that NYT article I think yesterday. While there were some interesting (I don’t mean important) points made, the entire time I’m thinking that you could replace Emily and the media references with any other then popular name since, I dunno, the 1950's at least. Jennifer, Tracy, Lisa, Melissa, Sarah, etc etc.…

You seem to be conflating that luxury = premium, which is not at all what Mazda is stating.

Just without the self-awareness!

Drag strip?!?! DeSantis wants to have a word with Tesla.

Sorry, gotta disagree yet again with your all or nothing positioning. As someone with a few family members challenged with mental illness, any reasonable thing done to de-stigmatize and normalize conversations about it is a good thing in my book. Sure, yes, we don’t have enough societal and government institutional…

Kudos! This reminded me of Ye Olde Tymes Jezebel. Clearly tongue-in-cheek and snarky, but not too snarky, humor.

“Inconsiderate exploitation”—-haha, they mean “I’m mad because I didn’t think of it first”. Another faux-controversy by people who have nothing better to do than to try to create Internet outrage. People have been buying second hand items at thrift stores, garage sales and flea markets for decades and sometimes reselli…
