Yeah, the first thing that came to mind was Ark II. But if the TTruck came with a jetpack ... well then bonus!

The bonus for this is that you made me aware they publish a manual for the USS Enterprise! My whole family is getting that for Christmas this year! Don’t like it? I don’t care. It’s awesome! Gonna build one in my backyard with PVC and plywood.

The glass repair law isn’t a reason to live in S.C., but every time I consider leaving, I think, “But what if I get a crack in my windshield?” (jk of course)

We used to have annual inspections in South Carolina, and they were terrible. You ended up getting stuff fixed at a really high price just to get that $3 sticker (at the time). It did not keep junkers off the road either. If the inspection person says you have to get a new set of tires and a new fan belt even if you…

This is why it’s important to read literature:

Your comment made me think of Lee Atwater. Cancer did seem to make him reflect on the things he did during his political career, with stated regret.

In the last 5 years, I’ve purchased two new cars, from a dealer (at a decent price) with manual transmissions. That’s what I’m doing. Voting with my dollars.

One thing I don’t understand about this. How is it you don’t have more stars?

He says pretty clearly where he was going with that bit. You guys seem to be reading right UP to the context. He wasn’t saying e-commerce is the same as brick-and-mortar contracting. That’s what Tesla was saying:

That’s not what he’s saying. He’s saying the comparison to building an addition onto a house is different in this way, specifically. Tesla absolutely deserved to be compensated for its use, but this guy wasn’t using it, and it’s not like he was pirating it.

It’s a dumb law, but this writing is pure poetry. Bravo, sir! Bravo!

Dude, none of that stuff is original. Honestly, you’ve read a graphic novel from 1986, you know the story. You like it? That’s cool, but let’s not give them all that much credit. Predictable is sometimes comforting, like Campbell’s Soup, but when I open that can, I know what I’m getting.

... or maybe just one.

My favorite GLaDOS moment is where she fat-shamed me ... and all those times she made fun of my impending death ...

Wow. I think you nailed it. 

Yeah, me too.

A lot of politicians run to raise their profile, including speaking fees, without any sense that they’ll likely win. Sometimes they rise above that. I don’t for one second think Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., thought he would win in 2016 when he ran. It was good for giving him a platform and to help him raise cash for his…

Probably could post this on a number of car blogs; however, I don’t want to commit tu quoque. You probably don’t either.

And that’s the issue isn’t it? Judgment in the face of an escalating situation. When I covered cops, courts and crime, I used to hang out with a lot of officers. Several of them told me they were trained to take verbal abuse and aren’t allowed to strike out when someone pisses them off. They don’t have to absorb…
