When we get to the boarding zone, I always have the kids put on a backpack and take one carry-on. This way I am not carrying multiple items and being subjected to undue criticisms by my fellow critics.

Hey when me and my wife travel with our kids, you can bet each kid likely has a carry-on and a backpack. With $30 fees to check a suitcase (round-trip that will be $60), I am strongly favoring carry-ons which are usually included in the tickets we get. Last flight was booked a bit late, so I could not get a group of…

You are a despicable person. Plenty of reasons why not everyone can plan their travel ahead of time as well as you can. Maybe having a family and coordinating schedules means you can’t plan in advance as much as you would like. Who the heck cares. Yeah, I get it, a miserable person living in a basement with no one…

Exactly. Why is it okay for Porsche to design cars for the Nurburging (and that is really all they design for) but somehow offensive when Tesla modifies a car to get a decent time there. Heck, Tesla can sell a car with the exact modifications once they are done (assuming it performs well) and call it the Telsa Model S…

If Porsche can make cars that are built to drive the Nurburging, what is the big effing deal if Tesla takes a car there and modifies it to also excel at the Nurbuging... They can then sell that configuration and be just like Porsche...

I did not comment on the insurance cost as I knew it was higher. But we are talking about electric cars here, so the jury is out on what insurance for the Taycan or e-Tron will eventually cost. Further, the initial higher cost of the Taycan means that even if the insurance on the Tesla costs more you are still coming…

My understanding is that perhaps there have been more issues, but the severity of those issues is generally minor. Not sure where you get higher average cost of repair or greater property damage to others (and if greater property damage to others... if Tesla’s are overall less likely to get in accidents perhaps this…

You do know there are a couple of hundred thousand Teslas out there and Tesla has a level of customer satisfaction similar to Porsche. I would take real world experiences over testing any day. Tesla’s have more than proved themselves in the real world!

No, just marketing to try to explain why you should buy a car with sub-par range capacity...

I did a bunch of the Android 10 nonograms and they were quite easy, even with just seeing one row of numbers. A few guesses till they lit up green got it quickly moving.

I hate the new return mandate... The nearest Kohl’s is a 16 minute drive without any traffic, and the nearest is an 11 minute drive without traffic. And I live in middle of a major city. Quite annoying when I buy a product and it says free returns and when you click on what that means it does not give any indication…

If she puts out a constant stream of YouTube videos and gets 2-3 million views a week, she can easily be making between $8,000 - $17,000 a week just from views. That can be over $600,000 a year alone. If she has sponsored links and also has viewers on other platforms she can be making a bit more. You can look at her…

Seems kind of hard to maintain privacy and be a YouTube celeb. These folks are making good money by constantly putting out engaging videos (at least engaging to their audience) and given the informal way it is done it involves a lot of their personal life being exposed (unlike a professionally produced TV show where…

Thanks for posting that, it was a good sobering lesson. My own nature is to not expose myself to a liability that I comfortably believe I can pay off. I make a decent amount and am considering buying a house now so definitely thinking about this. Don’t want to find myself one day with an income downturn and the…

I think what you say makes sense, but they obviously wanted to show him combating the time demons by getting around their magic. So by duplicating himself, they could no longer send him back, thereby he was not longer locked in a time loop. Really, with this show, the producers are very much into the stylistic…

Just a few cars having issues out in the hot dessert far away from any services or water, will cause massive backups (assuming even a few thousand people show up). This will quickly lead to a humanitarian crisis where overwhelmed emergency services will have trouble getting water and food to people who are dying from…

Not much different then traveling from NYC to Niagra Falls. On another note, while the West has some pretty big open areas, you can usually drive a bit faster out there.

The logistics of 1 million people being able to get there is ridiculous. Gov’t would simply block roads making it near impossible for civilian vehicles to get anywhere close.

Evertyhing in the show is a construct. There are way too many overly confusing things that are not adequately explained. While the plot this season make some sense (so far), too much is about the style which is somehow intended to make up for the lack of clarity. Last season was the worst and I have no idea what…

Agree. Don’t forget last episode, David’s father tells his mother that Farouk is pure evil. Not like the producers forgot that they are hiding a big baddie in the midst of Div 3. I also think the producers are showing David as actually being significantly more powerful than Farouk (e.g. in this episode, once he…
