UPDATE:

When one can display the ultimate mustache—the handlebar—a beard is not necessary. Ertl was just using his excess manliness as a dominance ritual against the rest of the F1 field.

Right on cue, my fuckin’ 2012 T&C transmission shit out again on me last night at 93K miles, 10K since I had it rebuilt. Fortunately, the rebuild is still under warranty. Fuck this thing, I’m getting rid of it as soon as the work is done.

The trans in my T & C shit out at 83K miles. 

Accept this +1 in place of a star.

Bacon grease is a great idea. Thanks for sharing!

I haven’t gone back for the bear yet, after a couple shotgun blasts left me restarting elsewhere minus my hat.

Hell, I dreaded the insta-spawn grizzlies in RDR1 and nearly shat myself on occasion. In RDR2, it’s insane. And the cougars. And the gators. And that damn panther. 

Lol, aw, that’s cute! My kids have never had that magical believe it’s real thing going... :/ my them 5yo daughter ran around Minecraft killing everything in sight going “need meeeeeat!!!”, and my younger son just cackles at anything like that. They’re also never once been fooled into thinking Santa, the tooth fairy,…

Don’t be too upset with your daughter, even if you hit the bear with an arrow you most likely would have been mauled. I shot that Bear 6-7 times with the Carbine Repeater and was still bear meat.

I had a similar thing happen with Witcher 3. I was trying to play it, in as this article puts it, “Dad Mode” when I was suddenly accosted by several bandits. In retrospect I should have just paused it immediately, but instinct took over I promptly dismembered one and set fire to the others before I thought to pause.…

Meanwhile, my 5 year old watched me cut Battery’s legs off with a VKM on Black Ops 4. I’m going to hell, probably.

I’m a grown man, and getting mauled by that legendary bear was nerve-wracking for me as well, so I feel your daughter’s pain. 

I’m sorry, but I need to tell this app to get off my lawn. Just read to your kids. Reading to your kids is about creating intimacy and is dependent upon the simplicity of the act. Mediating it with technology is counter to the intent.

Before you start roasting your own beans, I would get a burr coffee grinder. You will get a fresher tasting coffee with minimal work.

This looks somewhat less nuanced and subtle than the first season.

Jesus, that solid advice is easily ten times more important on a bike; let alone a gnarly beast like that Ducati. Scary enough on fresh rubber, can’t imagine it on 10+ year old shit-balloons. 

It’s almost time for Sno*Drift! And there is a metric shit-ton of snow and ice up here this season!

Everyone talks about how you should “just buy winter tires” around these parts (SE MI), but I never really “got it” until I finally did it.

Every car I’ve ever driven or owned slides around, at least a little, and has ABS/traction control (if equipped) kick in in the snow...with all weather/summer tires (ugh, summer…

Exactly, it was -14 F when I started my WRX this morning, the stick felt like it was stuck in molasses.... There is no way I would hop in and sprint off without letting it warm up, good way to burn a clutch or wreck a turbo.
