I was quoted 6-8 weeks by three dealers here in L.A, but you are entitled to a loaner car while you wait (it said so right on the recall letter I received).

I had the claymore mine in my Accord replaced a few weeks ago. I was lucky the dealer was able to turn it around in a day (another customer never showed up to get his replacement). The three Honda dealers I called were all backordered 6-8 weeks. Luckily, Honda is giving customers loaner cars, so they don’t have to…

Agreed. I fully expect, within the next five years, I’ll order an IPA and be presented with a glass of hops and a bottle of water, so I can dilute to taste.

I’ve been pulled over for speeding more times that I care to admit and I’ve never been scared of the encounter. Annoyed, sure. A bit embarrassed, of course. But I treat it like an unpleasant business transaction, take my ticket and move on. I’ve never been insulted, hassled, searched or otherwise intimidated on any of…

The airline equivalent is, perhaps, “window or aisle?” To which the only proper reply is, “window or you’ll what?”

I’m imagining her life is an endless quest for a barista with just the right skin tone.

Did he also pronounce Billy Joel’s name with a hugely exaggerated last syllable, like “Billy Joe-EL,” as if he’s from Krypton or something? I’m guessing that he did.

Pretty sure it was a Lambo, dude.

Starred for the TLC reference.

Immediately went to cybersquat partialfoods.com domain. Found it already taken.

It doesn’t even work with single player games that require persistent connections (like DA:I). The annoying part is that it pretends to resume, allowing the player to continue for up to a minute (depending, I guess, on the polling interval the game uses), then dumping back to the loading screen.

Be the sea you want to change.

Nasty, indeed. but I’m sure very progressive for the time.

The only reason nobody talks about Cricket here is because they are either asleep or drunk.
