Another way to look at the question is this: What is the likelihood that a “pre-exercise” health exam by a provider (doctor, nurse, PA, whatever) who doesn’t know you and your history already, will uncover a medical condition that will put you at increased risk over not exercising. IMO, for someone without any…

This makes sense, for Ford to have a 3 bears (sizes) of pickups, and within each size have comparable trim levels to what’s available on the F-150. And it’d be easily understandable among the buying public, without any significant need for explanation.

In a world filled with war criminals and insurrectionists, it’s tough to see that good behavior on the part of entitled air travelers is gonna happen, kinda like the people who think they can rush from row 32 to the front as if NO ONE ELSE ON THE PLANE has an interest in leaving. So I’m resigned to travelling light…

It is beautiful, and more “unique” than a 911 (although I strongly doubt it’ll retain similar value). Sad about no CarPlay or Android, those are simple table stakes for ALL cars nowadays from a practicality standpoint. But (I checked) the boot will hold a set of golf clubs (doubt two), and to be totally honest, that…

Costco literally ran the Sam’s Club out of my medium-sized city. I had memberships at both for an overlapping year to see which one I preferred, and well before the year was done it was no contest, for all the reasons (and more) that this article mentions. And that’s even before consideration of the workplace…

In my make-believe world this boat becomes property of Ukraine for presidential use and is accented with blue and yellow. Just to spoke the bear in the rear, instead of a name, there’s a big ass blue capital “Z” on a yellow background, just to reclaim the letter.

Great list. Thank goodness I didn’t even know there was a category called “personal finance influencers!” I thought it was just kids doing silly dances.

Sadly I think my attending will be hypothetical at best. All that could change, however, if they ever start selling that lightsaber with the retractable blade. Then all bets are off.

I feel at the very upper end of the demographic that finds this whole thing incredibly cool (my kids def don’t share the same degree of enthusiasm any longer), so I’ve read many of the reviews, which are variations of this: it’s a very good/great immersive experience, and yes, it’s plenty expensive. While I’ve come to…

Another long-time practicing physician, and I suspect you got this list from someone who tried, and failed, to get a script accepted on “ER” or “Chicago Hope.”

Awesome. In truth, any of these is better than either no plan or none of these. Personally I’ve ended up unknowingly hewing more closely to the Buffett plan (heavyweight into domestic equities, aka S&P 500), which has worked out well over the long run, but I do remember shortly (2-3 years) after starting out when we…

Because I’m sure Ferrari racing reads Jalop, I’m putting in a vote for adding some white to the current scheme. Red/Black makes the car seem smaller (maybe that’s intended). Some white accents would not only add some welcomed contrast, it would also be a nod to the Red/White scheme of the old 312 days.

Be early. Not “kinda early,” ‘cause that’s what everyone else does. Early like rope drop early. You’ll find you’re very much not unique in that regard, but you’ll get more stuff done earlier in the day. Then, when the rest of humanity, kids in tow, get into full swing around 11:30-1:30, time to take a siesta from the…

Yes. Basically a non-jacked up pickup truck, is that asking too much? Ok, I’ll try and show some modern flexibility here and say CUV with pickup truck bed, so a bit higher than a sedan but not to the lofty heights of an F150. In fact, I think the new Maverick is getting there, but still a truck up front. I’m thinking…

Or both. I’m a bit OCD on teeth things, yet at the same time very frugal. I have a tooth irrigator (i.e., not branded Water Pik) from Amazon (of course) that’s both cordless and crazy adjustable, which I use in conjunction (not daily) with my armamentarium of toothbrushes, two types of floss (PTFE and braided), and…

Yes, a worthy comparison, but IMO not the icon that the El Cam has become. Yet. And yes, I did love the rear-facing “party seats”. The whole combo would be tough to pull off as a convertible, but hey, that’s a gauntlet throw down if I ever saw one. Think about it, mount those plastic seats on a totally-NHTSA illegal…

Until a manufacturer is willing to make a convertible El Camino, citizens of the world will have to take things into their own hands.

Yes. My running buddy and his wife both went on it in anticipation for the wedding of one of their kids, and damned if it didn’t work. That’s a anecdotal example of a short-term win, as once they “stopped” their respective weights crept up again, but they were both satisfied which I guess is a win. Maintaining a new,…

I don’t get the hate. $2500? I’ve made far worse decisions with much more money. Long-term project for sure, but if I had the space and if indeed the engine started, I’d go for it. No, almost no chance it’ll show up at Pebble Beach, but just for fun driving around town heck yes. Apart from the hideous rust with what…

In the early days (90's) of evolving safety regulations I had a Honda with an overly-complicated automatic shoulder belt mechanism, that routed the shoulder belt along a track over the door from the side mirror to the b-pillar. Now mind you, this being a Honda, it never failed, but in retrospect it was a seemingly…
