Well, how’s this approach - “We can say whatever we want and when it doesn’t come through, we’ll use a few more words to describe why we were wrong in our estimates” ? Which other job gives you the freedom to say “Denver might get anywhere from 5" to 22" of snow, but it might be rain instead of snow, and it might pass…

If they are scientist, and are using actual science that works, why are they wrong - seemingly all the time? If they are using science to give us a best guess of what will happen, then they are guessing, correct?

Forecasting - easiest job in the world. A few days ago, they claimed today would be sunny and 60's. Today is cloudy and it was snowing this morning. I scheduled a tennis match tomorrow based on a forecast, now I have to reschedule it.

My earliest memory of a car must be riding with my grandpa in his Zastava 750, with furious 27 hp buzzing loudly behind us. I remember being in that car, sitting on the back seat with my grandparents in front, driving over Majevica (technically, a mountain, but after living in Colorado, more like a small hill), with a…

Well, that is a huge generalization, but I get your point.

Sure, and that’s why I said I wish I had that kind of time. I don’t bill every hour, but when someone wants me in my spare time to fix their computer, I bill a very reasonable $50 per hour.

So, if you value your time and want a moving Jeep, buy one that is at least $5000. Good job on this - I wish I had this kind of spare time.

$280 buys you a FZ200 bridge camera that should produce great results - similar price as a case and two of these lenses . I find myself using my phone camera often with adequate results, and when I know I will need better, I just carry my big boy DSLR.

Yeah, because their base pay is so low....

1st gear - I always thought a bonus was something you get when the company is profitable, you do good job and you score high on your reviews. Apparently, the people that decide on high the bonuses should be make that decision for themselves.

Worst I ever experienced was New Orleans in summer. Replace shirt every 30 min if you walk outside humid. Horrible. I understand your pain

Agreed. In general, I hate statistics like these - they sound horrible because the researcher wants them to sound horrible. Hur hur 33000 people could have been saved. But, there are always two sides to the coin.

uBlock origin - I haven’t seen an ad on Gawker network in a long time.

GAP on a $15000 car should only cost you $200-300. It would probably be a very wise investment on a purchase like this.

These days, there are so many mistakes, they would need to hire an editor to catch all of them. Eh, free content, you get what you pay for.

Gotta love Kinja - I replied at 11:44am, and I was the first and only reply. I asked the same question that you did at 11:40, but your reply was not there when I replied 4 minutes later. BTW, he changed the title.

Yup, he sure did. I haven’t seen a credit in a while - 99% of the stuff here is not original anyway, but it is an aggregator of interesting things from the web.

Not sure I follow - every image is of the fog, but your article title says smog. Smog =/= fog, unless the guy that took the photos called smog fog.

“He arrived at the conclusion that 33,000 additional fatalities occurred over the 20-year period as a result of increased speed-limits.”

HTC M8, HTC M9, SGS3, SGS4, SGS5, Nexus 5, Nexus 6 (all when freshly released) and I must be forgetting some I’ve owned, and his comment seems to be spot on. Which statement do you not agree with?
