The dumbest trip we made was driving through Oklahoma and Texas in May. Every place we stayed has a tornado a few hours after we left.

A Google search turns up their music for “L. Antebellum.” Problem solved!

There is evidence to support both sides of the debate. A study this year by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety claims that in 14 of America’s largest cities the cameras have saved 159 lives during a four-year period.

I lived in Germany for several years in the 1980s and 1990s, and you’re exactly right. It’s partly because people of African descent don’t form a large part of the population there as in the U.S. (though Turkish people are in a somewhat analogous position in Germany), but you’d think a transnational company like VW…

There’s a lot of overlap between this comment and the screeds that racists write elsewhere.  Just an objective observation.

Cool! Thanks, I was wondering how legal their adventure was.

I am suggesting taking the money we spend on the police and using that for community organizations staffed with paid professionals, who specialize in mental health, trauma, and other issues.

In 31 states (well, 30 plus D.C.) in America they’re required (if you do the math you’ll see that’s over half)

Right, and good luck! I realize that my comment was unclear; I’m happy enough with my 328xi, just not as happy that I may be wasting money on a warranty, because the car so far has been as reliable as any other.

A few years ago I had some extra money, and I was looking for a car to replace my troublesome Audi. I ended up going with a low-mileage E90 from Carmax, in part because I wanted reliability and I could get a warranty in case it blew up.

I feel like when white women start to say “my fellow white woman” its centering them at the conversation.

A drop in the bucket, so to speak?

With fewer all-you-can-eat places, maybe there will a positive effect on the obesity epidemic.

Yeah, I don’t think we’ll be seeing six-foot-wide aisles any time soon.

TOTALLY INVIGORATING.

Excellent.

University of Birmingham English student Beth Houghton thought Fiat 500 Twitter deserved a deeper look as well. She blew up her social media feed last week by admitting she had been collecting tweets from the subculture for her university dissertation.

Cool. The article is dated 2012, and a Honda Civic of that period was... <checking online> 2600-2700 pounds.
