Then that phony historical context complaint really falls away. Would the complaint still exist if the bot also had a routine that magically clicked through to the site in the background (magic in that it would count for a full click-through, didn’t get counted as a bounce, and did whatever it needed to render full ad…

That’s not how stainless steel works. Stainless steel can and will rust if you get any carbon steel and water in it. Scraping your stainless steel pan with a carbon steel utensil can cause rust - and most utensils are carbon steel because they’re a 1/4 the price of stainless and hold up to abuse better than stainless.…

It certainly sounds like blog writers, who depend on metrics that require readers to spend time on the page to generate income, don’t want to relinquish control of how users access the advertised information. If only someone could teach the foodie blogs to use godforsaken slideshows to maximize clicks before being…

Is the “shitty” part just skipping the unsolicited context? Because scrolling and using a filter or bot are then effectively the same thing, because the only people who would use the bot are people who would scroll anyway. It sounds like no one is changing the content they view whether they use this old/new bot or…

Right? I mean if you’re going to talk about how much you like the phone holder, maybe a photo of that would be a nice addition.

I feel that most people have a waning taste for sweet things as we age. like how a lot of sugary drinks are just staggering for me to taste anymore, and I’m not even old

the commenter specifically asked for an explanation you walnut. you know what makes jokes funnier? not explaining them when asked and then pretending the exclusivity has any value whatsoever

That’s just different demographics, though, isn’t it?

stouts are a type of beer. hops are a flower that add bitterness (and other less pronounced flavors) to beer, and beer nerds like to joke that too many brewers add too much hops to beer. see also: hatred for all the IPA hipsters, where IPAs are known for being way too hoppy

there are rules on exposed tire width in certain jurisdictions, and aero issues, too. just take them off if you don’t like them, but ford wants to add more width for stability and still sell in 50 states.

This is easily done in Illinois outside of Cook county

...f...fortyfive up a hill? Are you towing a mac truck?? And 65 on the flat, how many states is that the speed limit on the highway?

How is 216F anywhere close to overheating? GM trucks’ manuals state that running at 210F is normal, and running up to 230 during high load is normal. Overheating is at 250F for any length of time. I’ve only had overheating problems on my truck when towing over kentucky and tennessee hills, and it just meant driving 55…

this is the worst take I’ve ever heard, and I still click on Shilling’s articles 

He’s not living alone, he’s with his wife. Also, 24/7 caretaking is expensive as shit. A lot of people believe that if you remove a person with dementia from their home, you’re going to disorient them and remove a source of solace, and it can feel kind of cruel. For those reasons, this couple lives alone. It does,…

oh god the random tissues everywhere. I haaaated having to clean out old purses so they could be put away flat. yucgghhkkk, used tissues squirreled away. 

To be clear, the cabs and beds are very swiss cheesed most of the time, because illinois, but I’ve got my eye on this niiiice k20 that supposedly runs when parked

My grandmother was diabetic and had dementia. Hiding things was paramount, and I was never sure which were kept more secure: the keys or the random candies.

Each person with dementia is different. They all have daily paths and patterns that they go down, and the caretaker has to pick the best approach to handle it - the lesser evil. It sounds like the person in the story has a common path of ‘hey, I want to go for a drive’ and that the caretakers have had a difficult,…

It’s not practical on the new laptop-sized screen vehicles, like the new Ram’s 12" screen. On Tundras, it’s still applicable. The best way I’ve found is to check Crutchfield. It could be that they’re aren’t good options yet for the new Ram, but we’ll see. Often, you have to wait for someone to make and sell an…
