What is Connecticut’s connection to France, I wonder. (And Connecticut connection is fun to type)

Oh you haven’t heard this from February? She is glorious.

Seriously, not only is the culture around them pretty insufferable, exotics are just so tacky these days. Compare this atrocity:

Whoever is paying that to live in that place just to be in the Central West End is... not right in the head.  I can’t seem to find anything on what building the place is actually in.  I want to go by that apartment after work and just ask that person who lives there just what the fuck is wrong with them.

Humans are naturally biased and disposed towards the formation of prejudice, someone on your team is more likely to be believed than a perceived outsider. A good many feminists will struggle to reach similar conclusions when the accused is a celebrated pro feminist personality or even is a woman as opposed to a man. 

Honestly, if the cover photo had been yet another (yawn) exotic, I’d probably have never clicked through. But that Honda Kei truck? Hell yeah! Gorgeous and adorable.

It makes me sad that there were no ’80s or ’90s Mach 1 Mustangs. Or any S197 Mach 1s, for that matter. But I’d rather there be a lack of Mach 1 Mustangs than see the Mach 1 name get put on something that isn’t even a Mustang. (Thankfully, it sounds like Ford’s not going to put the name on their upcoming electric crosso

A few years ago I met Jan Ludvig, former New Jersey Devil and several-time Erzberg Rodeo entrant, in the lobby of a hotel while watching Supercross. We talked for a bit and he showed me this video on his phone, where he covers “Purple Haze” with different lyrics about Erzberg (also in a beer tent after a few rounds).

I would love to work at an office that smells of plywood adhesives, I’m sure it will off gas for many wonderful years to come, makes me nostalgic of my year working in the lumber department at Handy Andy.

That is some seriously pretentious crap.

“It completely shocked me when I heard,” said Fallon. “It came as a complete surprise to me.”

Remember yesterday when you thought humanity couldn’t get any worse?

Or what about a braise? That’s usually my go-to with tough, flavorful meat these days, as it allows for a nice evaporation of some of the liquid that you don’t get with sous vide, pressure cooking or slow cooking. For short ribs I’ll do a 2-2.5h braise in a nice red wine sauce @275F, and I’d imagine that it would be

Chik-Fil-A one hundred times more overrated over Shake Shack. It’s a fucking FRIED CHICKEN CUTLET.

But, but, but.....it’s so beautiful! Wait, what??? That’s a Corvette? No, it sucks. It sucks big time....

The Corvette V8s never get credit for how good they are due to a lack of technology. The block itself is bigger but the engines are lighter and smaller in overall size compared to the competition because of their simplicity. This car doesn’t need to cost another 100k just so it’s complex for the sake of being

Exactly, even with corner steps and whatever the height of the bed is a giant hassle with newer trucks. The low bed floor on my truck is truly one of the best features, and one of the main reasons it gets used for hauling stuff so often. For example when we recently had to move a piano there’s a good reason my friends

OK, you load up your Jeeto and I’ll load up my F150. See you in California. Lets see who is still happy when they arrive....

That’s a Wheel Horse in tiny truck form. Holy crap...
