Anyone old enough to have seen rule number two flip back and forth a couple of times? When I was a kid, you didn’t want to run batteries flat (if you needed to, you bought a “deep cycle” battery that could better withstand the extremes). Then came the “memory effect” that the very common NiCad or NiMH batteries would…

Wow, that’s a lot of writing to defend the guy. You also happened to leave out all the important stuff showing that Lindbergh was an unabashed anti-Semite. He wasn’t only about “let’s not get dragged into a war.” He described the war in Europe as:

Nobody ever actually said or wrote that. You know that, right?

Good strategy as long as you do it before you are on the road. You don’t want a Del Griffith situation.

I have to admit that the first time I saw the video, I said to Mrs. Muck - “assuming no one was seriously hurt, I would have really enjoyed that.” The idea of flying over a city in a passenger jet “with the window down” is really appealing to me. (For a short period of time, of course, and just the once should do me,…

“There is a need for a bold fighter to stand between the people and the ever-expanding government that is infringing on our God-given freedoms.”

There is totally a great joke here involving the words “Rubicon”, “die”, and “cast”, but I don’t have the energy to figure out what it is.

I thought they were referencing the Frank Sinatra song.

Kevin Costner’s ex-wife Christine Baumgartner is now apparently dating Costner’s friend, financier Josh Connor

It was on a work trip with my boss in northern Saskatchewan in the dead of winter, meeting with clients in Prince Albert. We drove up from Saskatoon in the morning in a rental car for the initial meet & greet. Did I mention that she was a control freak and a terrible driver? She insisted on driving, and even on a…

It’s the former. That is, they literally ask “If you had it to do all over again, would you definitely buy or lease the same model?”

OK, this is the second time I’ve seen a comment here expressing confusion over that wording. Have you kids really never heard/used the phrase “near as makes no difference”?? Well, la-di-da. I bet you all park your cars in garages, too.

Seems odd that are so many uses of “panic” and “panicked” in those reports. I’m sure many were terrified, but it looks like everyone behaved extremely calmly and rationally under the circumstances.

C’mon - it’s been, like, two whole months since this guy got to shoot someone. He’s only human, and hey - he didn’t even kill the guy. He’s probably settling in to retirement better than most cops.

Hi, “I Miss Splinter”! I guess you were offended by my questions, since it appears you dismissed my reply to you. I’m sorry about that, but I’m just so darned curious. (It appears at least four people agreed with me as well.) Your comment just confuses me so much:

Two people who’re dating kissed. So what?

I’m trying to think of products that would be made more attractive by adding “Massive carbon fiber Wing” to the features list. Solar-powered aircraft? Definitely. Attack drone? Sure. Grimy, Florida-man midlife crisis mobile? Oh, hell no.

Hey can we let slideshows die?

“I’ve never been to IN-N-OUT before (I know, what an asshole;), but when my lovely ladies @laurenhashianofficial & @simonegjohnson wanted late night grub, I happily obliged and pulled in the drive thru.” The women he tagged are seemingly In-N-Out employees who served him
