OTOH his story does begin with “It all started when I wandered alone into the desert with no water, rescue equipment, or backup plan.....”

THERE ARE SHEEP, THERE ARE WOLVES, AND THERE ARE SHEEP DOGS. WHICH GROUP DO YOU BELONG TO?

I’d go the one that I could at least show off down at the local park.  2.  

I like your thinking. Find a car that is kind of rare and instantly recognizable. As the kids get older they’ll see one every once in awhile and think, “that reminds me of the trips I took with dad to....”  That won’t work with a BMW or a Honda.

It looks like you’re going to have to clear your calendar to try and rescue this comments section. Between “LEDs and algorithms” and discussions of GPS watches (and their power bricks!) the author might has well have just created an open comments thread.

We defeated ISIS but Russia, Syria, and Iran still haven’t. It’s like when you get to leave class early because you breezed through the test. It’s not our fault we’re awesome and finished early while the other countries have to stay behind and struggle with the hard questions that we totally could have answered if…

I don’t see this biting them in the ass at all when the president is indicted or chooses not to run again because of looming indictments.  His exit strategy for 2020 (if he’s around) will look exactly like his exit strategy from Syria.  

Obey the HALT check: Try not to say, do, or decide anything lasting, permanent, or important if you’re feeling hungry, angry, lonely, or tired.

No picture of the frunk? I’m not bidding unless I can see how much protein powder and Monster I can haul home.
