I had a Carl’s Junior Beyond Burger last week and I was impressed by how much it didn’t make a difference given the low bar it had to meet.

At this point in tech though, a dedicated design goes a long way (no pun intended) to squeeze more range out of batteries. An electrified current model is going to call for an extra-premium on batteries for adequate range. It’s like how the 2nd gen Prius got most of its efficiency out of aero and driver feedback, not…

Wake me up when AOC is president.

Filed for the future. Thanks for the tip.

Came to comments for Jared Diamond, was not disappointed.

My dad taught me to play chess when I was six. I won for the first time when I was like 10 or 11. One of the most satisfying moments of my young life.

I’m curious about this scalable complexity with X-Wing Miniatures: How old is your child?

Some games can not be lost on purpose. My 5-year-old’s favorite came falls into this category and it has caused tears.

Clif Bars also. Everytime I go hiking I intentially pack at least twice as many as I could possibly need in case I turn an ankle and end up stranded up a mountain. They’re stuffed in my glove box for the same reason. If my car breaks down a dirt road I’ll be damned in I end up living off Taco Bell hot sauce packets.

A few years ago there was a letter in the BYU student paper that made the rounds wherein a male student pleaded with women not to wear bags or purses with straps crossing their bodies because it brought too much attention to their breasts for his little god-fearing loins to bear. Poor baby.

Because the world is weird now, anytime my wife calls me at work instead of texting, she leads with “Not an emergency” just because calling about anything at all has become so rare.

“Anti-Vegan Protester”. What. The. Fuck? How insecure do you have to be to actively protest veganism?

My local grocery store had this for like one summer when I was ten, and I spent the next 20 years keeping an eye out for it with no success. It back in my life now and I am complete again. Best instant ramen I’ve ever had.

This asshat is my senator. Jesus Christ.

I have a short-hand for this dream:“Unabomber Shack”. Whenever I read a bit of news reminding me of how terrible the world is, especially when it comes to raising kids in a digital world, I shake my head and say “Unabomber Shack.” My wife and my co-workers have been made to understand my meaning.

There are some great hardshell RTTs now that have the same profile of a standard Yakima box. Those intrigue me.

I’m thinking exactly the same thing about our ‘07 Forester. We’re probably going to replace it soon, but I may hold onto it and make it my dedicated adventure-m0bile.

I’d say the main advantage of the roof tent is that it instantly sets itself up. You can park the vehicle and be in bed in 3 minutes if you’re motivated in that direction. I say this as someone who just spent a weekend completely packing and unpacking my car full of gear every day.

Holy shit. The Dems are going to screw this pooch again, aren’t they?

Exactly. It’s a lazy Sunday car. Plenty of room in the frunk for a picnic and my expansive self-satisfaction.
