Planes are getting ridiculous. Sounds like you might be tall too - have you sat next to one of the “ribs” of the plane? My shoulders are already well wider than the seats and sitting next to one of those ribs meant I was pushed over into the seat next to me for a 7 hour flight (luckily it was my wife).

You can usually spot a “recliner” passenger as they’re boarding. Back in the days when there was room to do so, if one sat in front of me I’d proactively cross my legs so their seat couldn’t recline. After 10-15 minutes of trying they’d give up. 

Right? Jeez, grow a set and ask them to compromise my reclining a little less. Instead of “oh my god, can you *please* not recline your seat?” in a bitchy voice, maybe “Excuse me, I’m pretty tall and with your seat reclined that far I can’t really breathe/move, can you bump it up a notch or two?”.

Can you do text versions too? I think a lot of us skip the videos but will spend the time to read an article. 

“Hey, any ideas how we could possibly make our vehicles less reliable?” “Hang on, I have an idea!”

People would be more interested if it was a Toyota Supra.

Why is walking to your car such a big deal?

Yeah sorry, started that paragraph in my head and didn’t translate it all onto the page :P

Then negatives, in my experience, are that it makes it impossible to financially incentivize workers that go above and beyond (so they stop doing so), and it makes it hard to punish or terminate people that drag the entire team down. so-and-so about to be fired for never being on time, or can’t ever find them, or work…

Ah, the way that’s mitigated here (in some states) is by the state.

I guess potentially unpopular view, but in my experience it’s made it harder to thank/incentivize good workers and get rid of poor performers. I don’t object to the idea of unions overall, but it *does* afford too many protections to some people that are not carrying their weight. Workers that do little work while on…

I lament a future where we have to deal with weird looking little electric econo boxes zipping around blasting kanye tracks as engine noise.

Losing the ability to just head off into the canyons and spend hours driving around the middle of nowhere is kinda a bummer for me. I’m all for an electric car to drive to work and stuff (maybe even autonomous?) but ever since I lost the ability to ride a motorcycle, blitzing around the canyons in a small turbo car is…

How does it sound?

You swing your head around in circles to make sure your neck still works properly, right?

oof an out of warranty VW as a first car lol

I didn’t even need to do that, I just built little “hats” for my upside down mounted outdoor wyze pan cams out of plexi and black vinyl. Has a hole in the middle with rubber o-rings so it mounts between the threaded 1/4" mount on the camera and the mount attached to the house. Keeps the sun off them in the summer and…

Specifically in Irvine - I guess there were some street racing deaths a while back and since Irvine is pretty crime-free, they seemed to be pulling over anything that appeared to be modified but wasn’t an exotic. Wasn’t just my experience, heard the same from friends. Filing a complaint with the watch commander clears…

need a hatchback/shooting brake!

It sure does suck to be an automotive enthusiast in CA these days.
