Agreed.

I once studded up a canvas jacket like that in college. My total cost was the $0.50 the jacket cost me at a dirty thrift store and the $2 I spent on a bag of studs.

Hmm...I’ve had some oddities in cars though I don’t know if they count as quirks.

I sure won’t. I’d generally prefer to buy a Honda or Toyota (mostly because I’ve had a really good experience with my current Toyota and my brother in law swears by Honda), but not for an 80 mile range. My daily commute is 50 miles round trip, so on a cold day that means I’d get....3/4 of the way home? Maybe?

For the first Pebble, absolutely! Even (maybe) for the Pebble Time. But after that, they weren’t just using Kickstarter to gauge market demand, they were effectively using it to fund manufacturing, which meant they didn’t have any money or credit available without the upfront money from Kickstarter.

Agreed. In hindsight, the fact that they had to repeatedly use Kickstarter to fund their watches was a sign of severe cash flow issues.

GRMN is the stock symbol for Garmin, so it will forever be the Yaris Garmin in my brain.

I agree! I regret not buying an XTerra a few years ago, and I still miss my parents old mid-90s Pathfinder. I learned to drive on that car, and if Nissan made an SUV that was exactly like the Pathfinder of 20 years ago I would be first in line.

I am confused. So is Atlantic America it’s own country, but we might join the EU? That makes no sense. It would make far more sense if England came along and just offered to buy back the original 13 colonies, and we’ll just pretend the whole American Revolution thing never happened.

I guess. My parents have had a thing about Nissan and have only owned Nissans for the last 30 years or so (I guess even farther back than that, because as a small child I apparently cried when they sold their tiny yellow Datsun).

That would at least explain why the Murano exists, which is still something I puzzle over regularly.

Good point! I think I was thinking whoever was speaking to the media was doing so on behalf of a larger group, but if they’re just individuals it makes less sense that they’ve gone quiet.

It was one of those right time, right place things. My wife broke her iPhone 5C and wanted to upgrade to a 6S, and the Verizon employee told us if we added a tablet with a line we’d get $200 off the cost of the iPhone+an extra 12gb for life.

UAW may not want people randomly talking to the press, they would probably prefer to make sure communication is vetted. It would be worse for them if someone exaggerates or makes up work conditions than if everyone goes quiet while the UAW works out the strategy.

So basically if I’m getting a discount now, I’m better off hanging onto the existing plan for as long as possible?

My Ken doll took an extended vacation under the bed so Astronaut Barbie and regular Barbie could live together in the dream house alone.

I really think it depends heavily on the time of day and area. I wouldn’t blink if a guy was doing a clear workout on a playground unless he was specifically following kids or getting in the way of kids playing. But if I walked by my local playground at 7am and saw someone doing pullups I would be more impressed than…

1) I own an 8 year old Prius. Any thief dumb enough to steal parts from an old Prius is welcome to them.

Depends on the playground. My town has a path through the whole town that has workout stations peppered along it, including near a playground.

That makes sense to me. That, or the Upside Down is a potential future of the existing Stranger Things universe, as more portals open up/the Demigorgon’s spawn from whatever it was doing to Barb and Will comes out.
