And personal liability insurance.

I have one of these. While it’s better than nothing, unless you’re really pushing it all the time (and sweat in your oxford shirt & slacks) or doing it for 5~6 hours a day, it’s probably better doing an hour of higher intensity workout at a gym. There’s an online calculator that actually measures the calories burned…

For many years I worked with different multinational companies that dealt with the Chinese government. The positions I had often required me to work with local and central government agencies, state owned banks and SOEs, and their representatives. One of the more recurring comments I got from some of these folks…

You should add “please don’t download the EPUB from a torrent” as well.

Exactly. And the Bolt is hideous, FWD, and while drives better than the Spark EV (which I owned) and is as good as the Volt (which I owned), it’s still not a great driving car. But then, the Bolt isn’t designed for Jalops.

I’ve been using Samsung Pay for just over a year now and I love it. The ability to virtually “swipe” magnet strips using the phone is awesome, and the added security is a huge bonus. The only time I don’t get to do that is when I’m at a restaurant and the waiter must take my card away. Why can’t we have what the…

I had an ‘06 Cayman S, and the biggest mistake I’ve ever made was to sell it when I was posted overseas on a multi-year assignment - I should have just put up the $ for the storage.

Maybe Tesla really should rename its system to something like “Driver Assist” like every other automaker has done.

More reason to never visit Oklahoma.

I crack my toes and knees.

You are already dead.

Aren’t all non-manual Subies come equipped with a soul-sucking CVT now?

Paired with a soul-sucking CVT. No thanks.

These look exactly like the Taotronics set I just bought for $25.

Modern Chinese censorship has deep roots going back over a thousand years. The Emperor of Qin burned books and buried scholars alive. Every dyansty’s emperor’s names were forbidden to be used by anyone else, so when an emperor ascends the throne, all of his siblings and all civilians who share the same word(s) in his…

Word of caution on retinoid/retinol: it works, works really well for stubborn wrinkles (like those on your forehead) and those around the corner of your eyes, but for god’s sake make sure you slather on sunscreen after you apply it or else your forehead will get sunburnt really easily. Ask me how I know.

Is driving in high heels safe?

You need to do a PRAM reset.

My parents had an ‘87 Maxima. I remember in ‘89 or so they offered the “Omega Maxima” with a body kit, I was so excited to see one as a little kid.

2nd gear: I still don’t see any appeal for hydrogen vehicles. The loss of efficiency and cost to make hydrogen out of H2O just doesn’t seem to jive with BEVs. Also, once super capacitor batteries come on the market where you can almost get instant charge, the debate is over.
