You may be right. In the end, the majority of ads I get on Amazon suggests things I recently purchased and are thus entirely irrelevant - yes, I recently purchased an acrylic bathtub and a toilet, but no, I don’t think I will be buying any more for the next twenty years or so...

I second that crusade. My car sits on 80-profile 12-inch wheels and I love it.

I happen to like a lot of music in other languages, too, and it is nearly impossible to ask Alexa for them. If you want frustration, try pronouncing “Giardini di Mirò” or “Üç Hürel” in a way that she will recognize.

No, the article just says that they have not been able to monetize it to the extent that they had hoped. I don’t see how that disproves the Valve.

Come again? A conversation regarding wine glasses near an Alexa led to me and my wife both receiving a sudden stream of ads for posh glassware. Could have been our phones listening in (no way of knowing) but clearly the wake word list includes “want”, “buy”, “need” and so on.

And lower gas prices mean increased use of gas, increased emissions, increased dependence on Venezuela and Saudi, etc. We have to fix how we live, and it seems that people only care about their own personal ease and comfort.

I would starve for a week rather than eat Boston Market, this “dish” just proves me right. Holy moly.

My ex-wife (bless her heart) once had a customer grab her thigh. Her response was to dump a bowl of hot clam chowder in his lap and say “oops, I was so startled when he grabbed my thigh.” Can’t remember if she was fired or not, but at least she gave the company the option of believing her explanation. She was fully…

I am unclear as to why we want lower gas prices so badly. Sure, it’s nice, but low gas prices come with all sorts of problems. Use high gas prices as a method to reduce our reliance on oil and build a sustainable economy.

Was it Ayrton Senna? That would be cool.

Mine is not really embarrassing: Autobianchi A112 Abarth. Everytime my five-six-year old self saw one I would refuse to leave. It’s small, Italian, fast, and packed with attitude.

Ask your hubby about who can build me an enclosure for my 60x30 corner tub

5th gear: They should simply allow buyers the option to pick up the car from Sochaux; give them a credit, too.

Yep. There is a reason I don’t engage with the junkie outside my office trying to sell me “his” used bicycle, but it can be pretty hard to discern a legitimate seller on FB Marketplace or whathaveyou. Of course, sometimes people ignore clear warning signs.

I used to work as a sommelier, so I have lots of opinions on this matter (and many others - don’t get me started on artificial cherry/benzene flavor). It’s how I put my wife to sleep at night.

I fully expect Tesla to be broken up in the near future, with one company taking on all liability (for AutoPilot etc) and another one keeping the Tesla name.

I will readily believe that scene.

I have read lots of descriptions of what Big Mike bananas taste like and I am so curious. Might also explain some of the weird ass 1950s recipes involving bananas and cheese.

I don’t go to the slideshows (obviously), but sometimes I will open the header page just to read the comments and people appear to be staying away in droves.

At least Vegas provides some kind of “entertainment” simulacrum.
