I only recently realized something that makes it even more amazing to me.

eh, i feel like buying stuff from the kinja ad deals stuff is like payback for using ad blockers on all their websites. 

Cars with the old school radiator cap usually have something that allows you to turn it a quarter turn, which will let you turn it enough to vent, but not enough to come off (and vent downwards).

I’m trying to imagine what it would be like running Cup cars through that turn that goes back on to the straight. It’s sketchy in a car when people are not trying to bump each other. I think someone would crash and block the entire track. 

motortrend has a father’s day deal going on.. $30/year.

The military is a jobs plan. We should cut back the military and use some of that money as jobs training. Instead of taking a recent HS grad and training them how to shoot a gun an fix a HMMWV, we should teach them how to fix solar panels and wind turbines.

Military contractor spending is a more complex problem. They…

I got an email today saying that my smile charity has gotten $50k last month, $300k+ total. I just changed my amazon bookmark to smile.amazon.com, so that I don’t forget to use it. 

I’m looking at fios’s site right now.
gig internet + tv: $80.
git internet: $80

100 internet+tv: $39
100 internet: $39

This is in Northern Virginia.

The + tv for free is a lie though. You have to pay for equipment and that adds up fast. I was able to get a rep that let me just add the cable card. Other reps told me I…

I knew it’d be the left/right channel as soon as the letter mentioned the Beatles. Beatles is old and their music was originally mixed in mono. Afterward, someone hacked together a stereo mix. To show off stereo, they put the vocals on one channel and the rest on the other (you notice this on the second video).

I wonder if that’s what’s going on with that first video. It does sound really weird. I’m listening on headphones. Out of phase would just sound weird on headphones. 

I thought his name sounded familiar. He’s the same guy that did a burnout/u-turn on an road and missed a biker by about 5ft. I just looked at his youtube channel and there’s a video of him scaring people with launch control, in a residential area. He has a long list of dumb and dangerous things he’s done for the…

FM is the major reason I haven’t picked up one of these.

The “why not just stream it” argument sucks.  The internet stream gets really weird when commercials come on (sometimes there’s music, sometimes it’s just dead air).
Also, some streams have a default intro. I don’t want to hear that same commercial intro every…

I recently sold my stock e46. It was my daily driver for over a decade. It will be a birthday present to a 16 yr old later this summer. I hope to see it again, but at the same time I know it’s future will only bring me sadness. 

Every time I see a picture online of an e36, it’s slammed and has 15 degrees of camber on…

I had a friend who had to rent a car when his was in the shop. The rental car got a boot on it, because some other student had it and racked up a bunch of tickets. My friend ended up having to pay for his own ticket (he was trying the same illegal parking scheme), but didn’t hay to pay all the older ones.

That’s an odd one. How would they know he’s an alcoholic? If someone was an alcoholic, and was seriously trying to get better, step one would be to stop working as a bartender.

Was also not wearing a seat belt when his corvette crashed doing 70 in a 55.

yeah, high speeds over the bridge straight, the car will get very light, and then you have to stop, going downhill, before the carousel.. I’ve seen a few cars come in too hot and fly out of the turn, and end up in the tire wall.

Looking at other reviews, it was a short version of Shenandoah, they skipped the carousel.

haha, I remember doing the same thing in a jeep. Slightly different because there was no top on the jeep, so only the wood stuck out. There were a few sheets of plywood on top with a bunch of 2x6's up there too.

How does XX vs XY apply to this? Is that set with testosterone production, set at conception, or is it unrelated?
