Hate to say it cause the owner is a political douche, but if you live anywhere other than Southern California, WeatherTech mats are the best thing you can buy for your car once you get it home from the dealership.

i don’t think that a three week, considered investigation with 8 expert citations is knee jerk but ymmv

I don’t really think they’re related at all. Professional DMs are a solution to the problem of players being adults with limited time. I was perfectly happy to DM for my friends when I was a teenager and had basically unlimited free time to devote to planning and running a game, but as a working adult I just don’t…

My wife has Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. CFS, or any of the other names it’s called, is Long Covid, but she got it ~15 years ago from a different virus.

Yep. I’m vaccinated and boosted, made it over two years with no one in my immediate sphere getting a positive test, and I’m kinda over it at this point. Gonna be endemic, just gotta deal with it.

After so long with this shit I’m starting to break down on being ultra cautious. It just doesn’t feel like it’s ever going to really go away and it is starting to feel like it’s just something we’re going to live with. But I still think even if you do nothing else you should at least be fucking vaccinated and I’m…

In Perth Western Australia, if you have an inner city site that has been razed but not rebuilt on, you have to develop and maintain the site as a city park until you start the redevelopment.

Don’t poor shame people. We all know why people bought this. It was always dramatically cheaper than any other 7 seater. And with the insane markup on anything new these days, a leftover 2019 Journey is probably 30% to 50% cheaper than anything else on the lot.

If anyone needs a hand getting this reference I’m sure MBS has at least two sitting  around somewhere he could send you.

If you thought the industry was hostile to journalists before, just wait until SNK starts inviting reviewers to their embassy in Turkey!

“How do you say “Upper middle class with overextended credit people’s car” in German?"

Sucks that VW is doing the whole upmarket thing

Well let’s be real. Nearly every car has crap “software”  as in the nav/entertainment systems have been garbage compared to even a 9 year old iPhone. And with EV, so much is software based in the controllers. So yeah, they all need to be a LOT better. They don’t need to “be” software companies, but their sw…

you don’t want free drugs? seems silly. 

We’re starting to drift away from those gendered concepts, but only in one direction. The things that are being marketed to all demographics are overwhelmingly male-centric. It’s now okay for girls to like things that were thought of as boys’ media (outside of strident gatekeepers), but the opposite is still uncommon.…

I read several other articles about the situation. What you describe was in place due to the entirely white government that mass resigned a few years ago leaving about $500k in plain old debt. The ones who took over have been working to recover from that on their roughly $1000 per month part-time compensation.

Unchecked capitalism isn’t conducive to maintaining a long term functioning society either. Why? Because people are generally not rational actors and will act to preserve their own short term selfish interests rather than in the interest of the long term greater good. We should be striving for Pareto Efficiency (not…

In CA, a $1.5M house is just firmly middle class. That isn’t a mansion, it’s a small tract home in LA.

I’m not sure this is the panic the cops make it out to be. Considering it’s Allentown, which I might add, has been loudly justifying their police budget for the last couple of weeks, I’m even more skeptical.

And for accuracy:
