I’m going to go with “when you’re cold.”

It’s been a long time since I read a lifehacker article with actual useful feeling lifehack info. This was refreshing and welcomed. More of this please. 

I buy reliable new vehicles for cash and keep them for a goodly number of years. My first Mazda MX-5 Miata was with me for 15 years while others have lasted 10-or-so because I take exceptionally good care of all of my vehicles. I cannot imagine that I could buy an already-old vehicle with an unknown maintenance and

A lot of us here are over at Jalopnik as well.

This entire argument only makes sense when you consider a car purchase to be an investment made for its financial benefits. It may be so for a very tiny minority of people, but for the general public, it is not.

Two words.... BABY POWDER.  I never go to the beach with my kids without it.  It drys up all the cracks and crevaces and sand falls off.  

No WOPR.
No SkyNet.
No USR.
So many missed threats.

Yay! No slideshows!

I’ll give the pods this: my developmentally disabled child can do their own laundry because of those.

Not exactly useful around the house, but it’s a use: when I was a kid, my mom taught me to take a piece of wax paper and ride it down on a slide in a playground. The more you do it, the more it’ll wax the slide, and it’ll make you go faster, which makes it a hell of a lot more fun. Eventually, you can ditch the paper

An ex-gf of mine introduced me to using a Neti Pot many many years ago (I learned several useful things from her, but decided that we should not pursue a long term relationship based upon other criteria). I use it a few times a week, more when it’s my allergy season.

I disagree that you should never flash your brights in response to another car’s brights. A quick flash can often clue the other driver in to the fact that they have their high beams on, prompting them to turn them down.

Just commenting to appreciate that this isn’t a slide show! Thanks!

Now playing

This video is 45 minutes and worth watching every second. No matter how innocent you are, DO NOT talk to the police.

I’m surprised you didn’t link to the Popular Mechanics’ used car checklist (PDF or iOS app)

Am I the only one who’s asking for no more slideshows?  

I do not follow this. What are “hanging holes”? I hang my pictures using a wire stretched across the back. What I need is some way to find where to pound the hangers into the wall.

All of this sounds like someone who doesnt work in an office.  No one gives a shit about any of these things.  No one is laughing at the Olds for saying Presentation instead of Slide Deck.

I make a point, while running in the road ON THE LEFT, to wave at oncoming cars. People reflexively wave back (usually), and it’s nice confirmation that you have seen one another.
