I knew someone once that chose to purchase her car because she really liked the font of the speedometer numbers. Really.

Nevermind. It’s been covered.

Checking out their instagram feed is hardly “detective shit”.
An instagram feed is publicly available information, and it’s totally expected that your next roommate would have viewed it. It would be weird to not check it out. It’d be like rooming with a published author and saying on the first day, “I understand you’re…

We live in a fucked up culture don’t we? One where displaying that you are a regular human offends the other humans.

“3. Burn the hell outta your broccoli.”

I’m lucky to find a single porter or craft lager at any of my local taphouses. And yes, I’m paying attention. So where do you live Tod?

Seems like it should have a barrel pointed in both directions.

I’m more aware than this. I’m certain of it.
BUT - I can actually understand it a little bit. If I went to the rental place and picked up either one of those cars, my internal description of and reaction to both would be 100% the same: “Ugh, I’m in this fucking rental penalty box.”
So if you leave a boring car you…

I believe you’re referring to network connected cars, not autonomous cars.
Granted, it’s very likely that most autonomous cars will also be networked. But it’s not necessary that they be. It’s not an issue inherent in their autonomy.

Now THAT is a sentiment I can get behind. I thought you were looking at the other ‘shin post.

Check out Eddie’s reply to my comment to see the one I was thinking of.
Still curious about the origins of both, but I bet this will remain a mystery for all of us.

Soccer moms not your thing huh? Have you seen the sidelines lately?

I too have many ideas that are either too dumb or too late to matter. Sometimes both, just like Elon.

Wait, wasn’t there a version of this gif with a cute girl and a mini? This looks like somebody tried to one-up that one by putting the (different) girl in a skimpy dress and changing the car to a BMW. But the new girl lacks the confidence of the original actress, and they couldn’t find a better setting than a fuel…

I was in Spain and Germany. Germany in particular had such a reputation, that maybe I’d set my expectations too high.

Indeed I did not know that, but I find it easier to believe after this experience.
You wouldn’t happen to know of any articles or anything on that subject would you? I’m fascinated.

I just had my first chance to visit Europe last month. I paid attention to the cars, because that’s what I do. Know how many manual transmissions I saw? Not many; maybe slightly more than in the U.S. Driving etiquette wasn’t much better either.
It was a huge disappointment for me. We talk this place up like the drivers…

I started to reply with something similar, but I see you already handled it well.
Step 2 listed above is a great way to spill beer all over yourself and look like an idiot. Do it the way Tinwhistle described, and you’ll have a much better time.
Once you’ve got the technique down, you’ll find you can use all kinds of…

The South is in the lead. What I find ironic about this, as someone that moved to the South from elsewhere, is that fast food in the South is so fucking SLOW. The whole business model of fast food, as I understood it, was passable food with minimal time investment. But most of the fast food restaurants I’ve visited…

This shouldn’t require an app at all. The Home Depot can manage to identify me and email me a receipt automatically every time I make a purchase in-store with my credit card. (No, it’s not a Home Depot card.)
Surely The Home Depot isn’t better at tech than Amazon.
