Sorry, I liked it back when I was 7. That one was WAY cooler.

Great minds think alike....

Thanks for the advice, but the magnesium supplement is not an option for me. My insomnia is so severe and chronic that I only recently accepted it in my life as is. I stopped sleeping well when I was going through puberty. I am 31 now, so it has been about 17 years of insomnia. I saw sleep specialists, had tests…

You are absolutely correct in that the patient does need to be aware of what they are getting into. I considered my lesson learned years ago when I was pumped with the antipsychotic meds to help my insomnia. After that, I tried to learn everything I needed to know about any medication that was suggested to me. I…

Let us not forget that the docs will peddle the "newer and more effective" antidepressants after spending only 15 minutes with someone. And that these "newer and more effective" antidepressants can have such drastic side effects that it is not even worth it. Not to mention that some medication's "mechanism of action…

I am going for gold and say it is a 2012 TL. From the limited view, I cannot tell if it is a SH-AWD, but I can tell it is an automatic.

Hey Matt, call me crazy (or a technician, which I am), but is that review done from a 09-newer Acura TL?

It is one of a few changes I made, but it has helped. I should have more clear that my shedding pounds was not solely because of sucralose. My bad.

I have replaced sugar in my needs with sucralose aka Splenda in my tea and baking. I taste no difference and have been losing weight since. Hopefully I won't get a funky cancer from it.

I see a real problem here. There are medications out there that alter chemical reactions in the brain to change or desensitize the way pain is felt. The freaky thing is that these meds can be dual purposed as antidepressants. I know that some SNRIs (Serotonin–norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors) are used to treat…

Gimme "How It's Made" and "Through the Wormhole" and I will be not so mad with Netflix.

As a master technician myself, I agree with almost everything stated in this op-ed. Looking at the comments, I cannot help but feel a little miffed. I am in agreement that there are techs out there that look for the money rather than the repair. But there are some very good techs that look out for the customer. I…

I have started getting back into astrophysics simply because of recent developments in quantum theory. I really believe the groundwork for breaking the FTL lies in quantum mechanics, quantum tunneling, superposition, etc. I believe that the shortest distance between long distances is zero. Once we uncover the grand…

"Silence will fall"?

I have seen a lot of comments about air-conditioning, but the REAL innovation was automatic AC. In the last few years, I have become a prude of sorts because any car has to have auto AC. I like to leave my climate control on 67 and not have to change it. Ever.

Funny. Every car I have owned since I was 16 has had a sunroof. And that includes a Chevette and a Cavalier with manual windows, locks, and transmission, but it had a power sunroof. WTF? And the real pisser? I don't use them. 7 cars now with a sunroof that almost never gets used.

Amen! I even MacGyver-ed a Sirius Stiletto to my Honda Interceptor for my jaunt from Tampa-DC-Ohio-back to Tampa. Have not listened to terrestrial radio for over 2 years.

"Let's get dangerous."

As a Tampa Bay resident, I can say I am not surprised in the slightest. On the Pinellas side, there are scores of impounded vehicles re-purposed as cruisers to clip speeders. Instead of looking out for Impalas or Crown Vics, now anything could be a cop car. They are as unmarked as they can be. One of them is a…

It may not be something that the regular person can go down and get at the dealer, but after watching the Gymkhana videos, this is king. I have never seen so expertly executed all-wheel-peels before. Part of it is the driver, but the other portion is the beast (car).
