For me it was having access to the free, top-shelf booze in the first-class lounges when I used to fly all the damn time. It can be hard to resist all those delicious single malts, really good wines and beers, especially when someone else is driving the plane and the taxi home when I land.

Yep, dash cams are great for that. However, one time I picked my car up from the dealer and found the dash cam was unplugged. When I complained, they said it was for “customer privacy” reasons and they had to do it. I could maybe see an argument for that, so I told them it was fine to disconnect it while it was…

1) Yeah, I was wondering what exactly they meant by “fresh” crab meat. Given that there’s no mention of cooking the crab, I presume that it means “from a freshly-opened can.”

I was expecting more packaged soup mix.

Busted. It was bugging me, so I fixed it. Good eye, mate!

A group of local South African tourists were in the area when they got too close to the elephant bull in an effort to take better pictures. That’s when the big fella got aggressive and approached the safari truck.

There have been plenty of cities, neighbourhoods, etc. that from time to time have a massive car-break-in problem, and people often respond by leaving their cars unlocked so that would-be thieves can have a quick rummage (without smashing any windows) and move along to the next car. Those types are looking not to…

I guess if it makes you feel better, sure, go ahead and plan your travel that way. But I don’t see how the effort is worth the supposed gain. This is another example of how humans will ignore the most significant and most common risks to their lives and health, refusing to take even the most simple steps to be safer,…

I wouldn’t be surprised if this wasn’t an “accident”; absolutely no one heard of this person prior to this

Crash tests are awful.

My money is on “geriatric rematch” autocorrected into absurdity.

You know shit is getting bad when a resort city tells people to stay the fuck away. I suspect the hope is that with the spring break dipshittery significantly reduced, regular people will be more likely to vacation there, so it’s not like they will be killing off the tourist industry.

Where I come from, when you come across some problem on the road that poses a danger to drivers and/or will significantly slow or even stop traffic on a highway, you get the hazard lights on posthaste. This can not only save approaching drivers from becoming part of said problem, it also reduces the chances of you bein…

You might as well save your vodka for drinking, because 40% alcohol will not disinfect anything.

Back in my youth, I saw my neighbour’s 1973 Plymouth Satellite station wagon rear-end a smaller, newer wagon and absolutely demolish it. The Satellite was completely unscathed, thanks in part to those big rubber blocks on the front bumper.

Manual cars are safer.

I like this better than what Toyota/Lexus typically includes, which are not customizable to different cup sizes.

Universities are not McDonalds; it’s not like they’re all the same so you just go to the closest one. He obviously chose the school with the program that suited him, then his rent went up significantly. He’s in his final year, and it’s perfectly understandable that he wants to finish at UBC.

Exactly. When I see this...

Careered is absolutely a real word, and it’s used appropriately here. (But it is more commonly used by the British, while careen is more commonly used by Americans.) I was taught that careen describes more a side to side lurching or swaying, while career is going headlong at speed.
