Hell yes. While truly a kid, a very, very, impressive one. I’m overjoyed she’s kid; oh the places she’ll go.

I know it’s kinda just a big, Italian-ized Lotus, but... it’s a big, Italian-ized Lotus. There are a lot of worse fates than that. Better than cookie cutter or re-badged and de-clawed Ferrari. I think it looks great, probably as unreliable as hell, with poorer than average resale. Maserati is back!

100%. It’s gratuitous, like (sorry, this is offensive) the designers got lazy and said, “hey, let’s throw in a Hofmeister kink, that’d be ‘adventurous’”. No, it isn’t, and no, it doesn’t work with the overall scheme (“theme” as in the new Bronco, doesn’t apply here at all). IMO an opportunity wasted.

I’m kinda a Delta loyalist, but honestly, it IS easier when you’re the industry leader. You can set the rules, right or wrong. Perhaps a decent comparison is Nike, a behemoth among the sports retail universe. If they promote fair work practices (they claim to), then it becomes a de facto standard. So kudos to Delta…

She’s the GOAT. If her pool was Lake Michigan, I’d think it was still a tad small.

I’ll just wait for Mr. Bond to put it up on Craigslist. (but damned if it isn’t absolutely drool-worthy, at least the rich guy has taste for a change)

I have loved the “throw the patio furniture into the pool” advice ever since I was a kid. It’s funny, brilliant, and effective, and for an impressionable kid in the 70's, it was a “rage against the (wind) machine” moment that has been seared in my memory, although I’ve never personally ever had to do it.

Another consideration is availability. I was in the midst of both a job and location move, and was left searching for a flu shot in January in DC. Most of the CVS stores I called were done for the season, and I was fortunate to find one that somehow had some doses left. This season I’m aiming to be earlier; September…

20k for a Mercedes. Wow. If I only knew then what I know now...

Unexpectedly relevant to me as just this weekend I received an email from Apple that my iPhone has been completely paid off (I guess 24 months). What I didn’t consider is that, now that it’s paid for, I’m pretty sure I no longer have AppleCare, so if something untoward happens to the phone then I’m probably SOL.…

When my kids were in-person in school, I absolutely used prepackaged snacks, but with virtual school I find it easier to go the Costco quantity route. Cheaper too.

Shocked, shocked I tell you.

I rewatched the video and even with the benefit of a doubt she’s actively NOT wanting to have anything to do with his multiple attempts at grabbing her hand. No, I absolutely don’t “feel sorry” for her, she’s gotten plenty out of this relationship, and from an earlier read has it codified in a revised prenup. She’s…

Painfully true. People are that stupid. It took stupid me too long to accept it, so I don’t have any issue with HBO and their disclaimer, although the target audience (i.e., the stupid ones) are the least likely so see it. Well, maybe they should have included some porn.

Exactly. Since when was ‘normal’ contact lense care not clean? Just the thought of it is yucky. Was the article sponsored by Luxotica?

Damn. Thanks. And I even looked it up. Brain fart.

If it runs (albeit slowly), then absolutely. Even in 2+2 configuration it’s a really good-looking car that’s aged well. Cleaned up it would make an inexpensive boulevard cruiser, as that’s probably about as fast as it could go!

Buh-bye. Racist by any other name. And deserved kudos to the NBA, which above almost all others, government or otherwise, has taken the lead on any number of issues, social (BLM) and otherwise (coronavirus), while others (MLB) follow or stick their collective heads in the sand (Trump). Adam Silver has been exactly…

Almost needs no extra work to make it Stormtrooper transport-worthy. And probably a steal used.

Sounds about right. Privilege is tough to give up voluntarily.
