I love Garage 54. It’s The Grand Tour on only 20 rubles per day.

Jimmy from Quadrophenia is not happy with this new policy.

This really torques my bolts. I’m very active on Quora because it scratches my social media itch in a reasonably more intelligent way than the pablum of Facebook, but it looks like I was part of the breach. I am tempted to find some way to just archive my material and be done with it.

I think that’s sensible given her age. I appreciate that you’re not activating a cellular line of service yet here, because that constant sense of being connected everywhere you go is the pathway to the addictive nature of this.

My family is going on a cruise ship over the holidays. The cruise line has an app that…

My older kids got their first full-time phones in high school between the ages of 14 and 16. Prior to that, beginning in middle school we would sometimes loan them one for a short duration if they were traveling with relatives, staying out somewhere late, or like circumstances. They’re both grown now, and my…

I’m not advocating spanking, but otherwise these guidelines are about as helpful as a wet paper bag with a hole in it.

I clicked this story thinking we’d be discussing Presidente Brandy, which is appropriately enough made in Mexico and accomplishes the same amnesiac end for a lot less money:

This was a great write up. I’ve been a fan of this film since I was 12 years old.

I knew it was fiction but still enjoyed it (read: It frightened me, too) immensely because of its reliance on the imagination of the viewer, as opposed to shoving some contrived CGI monsters onto the screen for armchair film analysts to pick apart for its lack of realism.

And I got to vicariously enjoy the same…

We were planning to have Chinese food for dinner one night. My wife wanted to make it from scratch, but my youngest son - who was 10 at the time - wanted us to use a P.F. Chang’s store bought kit instead. In spite of our best efforts, he always had more of a preference for pre-packaged foods than fresh made ones, so…

In my office at work I have a small shelf on the wall upon which is displayed a set of Star Wars characters from the Galoob “Micro Machines” line. All of these figures were made in the 1990s, and none of them are over 1" tall, but that doesn’t stop some of my older co-workers from sometimes remarking how they “totally…

My bio-dad was both a chain smoker and had a rather serious hoarding problem, which only got worse once he divorced his second wife and all the kids were gone and there was no one to keep him in check. So all of his vehicles (he owned over 20 cars and trucks at one point), whether running or not, constantly smelled of…

Ironically, where I live in Albuquerque is also an increasing hotbed for car theft. I guess we must have more older car thieves knocking around instead of those kids today with their dang smartphones and their Rolljams who’ve never dealt with four on the floor.

CP on price alone. I had an `87 I paid $1500 for in 2000. I never had, or have had, a car with better MPG than that one, but not to the tune of 8 grand.

So much winning...
Granted, it will be a Pyrrhic victory but (shrug).

This is a little extreme sounding, but anti-union indoctrination at the worker level has always reminded me a little of the image of a predatory uncle who manipulates a child into not telling mom and dad how he sometimes gives “special hugs” to his niece or nephew in the toolshed whenever he comes over for a visit.

I had zero contact with my bio-father between the ages of 5 and 19, and was raised my whole life being told he was likely either “dead or in jail”. When I reunited with him, he was neither of these things (had never even been arrested), but he was a mentally abusive, self-absorbed, and somewhat lazy pothead incapable…

For one, kids have less experience with the world, and novelty can intensify emotional experiences.

When I lived in Lincoln, Nebraska, which is home to a Kawasaki plant that used to produced Jetskis and (I think) parts for the Voyager touring bikes, I heard they had the obverse of this problem. There were a bunch of Harley riders who worked at the plant and insisted on having an “American Motorcycles Only Here” lot, …

Make sure the drama club has a bucket. They can use it to help build a new performance stage for the security theater.
