Excellent article. Thanks for writing it. Stories like these are why I keep coming back to Gizmodo and Jalopnik.

Mine wasn’t necessarily scared but freaked me out. I was playing Metal Gear Solid 2 ages ago. Late one night around 2 am I got to the scene where snake was or whoever it was lost his clothes and started hallucinating. Well I thought it was me hallucinating. After a few minutes of it I turned off the game and turned…
After seeing the video of what they do to convert a van I’m surprised it only costs $33k. Short of an engine they replace most of the car.
If Chris Pratt isn’t making his political leanings public then we shouldn’t care what they are. If he wants to use his fame for a bully pulpit to espouse conservative ideology then have a field day on the guy. But until then let a person’s preferences be personal and don’t judge him until he makes them public.
Culver is good. Think of them as a fast food version of Steak and Shake. Everything they do is a B+ or an A-. Nothing amazing but nothing horrible. Prices are fair, workers competent, and free ice cream with a kids meal.
Insomnia. I had a major bout last Sept - October. Between some pharmaceuticals, life style changes, and no caffeine after 6 pm I kicked it. I enjoy the taste and the ease of a cold can. Now I’m relegated to sugar free koolaid and Sprite Zero. At least diet caffeinated is still available during the day.
I think the thought is that being in an open space will dissipate concentrations to the point of it being safe(r). I’m guessing the CDC is doing the study to see if it is in fact safer. Out here in the Midwest our restaurants don’t make it into traffic and nobody is walking by still the tables in restaurants are too…
I can get access to Diet Mtn Dew pretty easily. It’s Diet Caffeine Free Mtn Dew that is impossible to find.
School districts are poor. Even the “rich” ones aren’t swimming in cash so the amount of money they’re offering doesn’t come close to what a social worker can earn in the private market. It takes weeks to get an appointment with a social worker / therapist so why leave a cushy private gig to take on a stress filled…
Go the speed limit or 1 mph below. Get in the right lane and zone out. Every other car will be passing you and you’ll never have to change lanes. It seems counter intuitive but over the course of the day driving 5 mph faster will get you 50 more miles but at the cost of fatigue of needing to pass cars. If you tool…
I have a 2015 Focus and it’s had its share of issue. It needed a new transmission control module at 50,000 and a new clutch at 80,000. Truth be told it needed a new clutch at 50,000 but I used to drive a manual so the slipping didn’t bother me much. Starting at 80k the clutch would slip and disengage when going into 2n…
Interesting article. Thank you for taking the time to research and write it.
They already have. The Bloomberg article mentioned it but it’s a hard concept to explain. The word is contango. So futures markets have different delivery dates. Using oil as an example, oil is delivered once every month. The upcoming month, May, is the front month. Front month is what generally gets reported as the…
Last October I had a bout of insomnia. Corresponded to a surprise promotion that I wasn’t prepared for or qualified to accept. Went from a perfect night sleep to maybe 2 hours a night for weeks on end. I hit up my doctor and between an antidepressant, OTC sleeping pills, no caffeine after 2 pm, and exercise I was back…
We probably think of Tesla’s more like iphones than cars. When any car maker comes out with a new design it’s generally most of the same parts in different packaging. Each iteration is more of the same. Back in the day the difference between early models of iPhones the changes were enormous. Each iteration was some…
My comment is going to get lost in the shuffle but with those stats. I want one as a PC. My PC needs are minimal (only 2d stuff) and I like keyboard and mouse type games more than xbox these days. If I could have a machine that is meh in Word and Excel but kick ass in games I would be all for it.
Well at least there is some form of competition to watch this weekend. Esports might gain some popularity in the live action watching community from a lack of anything else to watch.
@CaptOtter. I disagree that use of the word is never permissible. A court of law being the first place. Someone giving testimony of what they heard would be more than appropriate to use the word in question.
@grammar you hit the nail on the head. Some people want to be right while others want to win.
