I’m fully expecting the first couple episodes to be a little slow out of the gate, barring a big action set piece or two, because they have to take the time to introduce the history to all the viewers that don’t want to watch “kiddie shows”. Once they’ve established a bit of backstory though, it will be able to really…

I can see someone at Disney wanting to make it an event and midnight drops just skew the numbers. I’ve been singing the praises of SW TV since the first season of the Clone Wars, and I’ve still never sat up until midnight to watch any of the D+ shows. I’ll actually set a reminder for this on Tuesday evening though to…

It’s part of the Hype-Ouroboros. First there’s the hype, then the hype about the hype, then the hype about how there was too much hype, then it leads back around to the hype.

I think Severance is great and the underlying premise is genuinely thought-provoking.

I agree - I hate the third party stuff at regular retailers. I’ve had Walmart attempt to charge a third party price for an item in store that didn’t ring up properly. I explained that the thing they were looking at wasn’t even sold by Walmart and they didn’t care - they said they’ve been told that’s what to do.

Ah... if you had started with your very last line, I wouldn’t have bothered as I now understand where you’re coming from. 

It doesn’t really work that way though. 

Maybe a bit of an exaggeration about the Corollas (our old house’s standard 2-car had room for a Yaris, an Echo, shelves along one wall and my work bench along the front - so Corollas would’ve fit too), but you’re right to a certain degree that modern garages haven’t swollen to match modern SUVs. I’ve fit a visiting…

Eh - depending on locale, hailstorms are a thing. And these days, you get teams of people sweeping through random neighborhoods breaking into cars in the middle of the night. Still lots of great benefits to keeping your rides indoors.

Yeah. I try to be understanding. I’m originally from up north where we had basements, but those are a rarity in most southern states and I get it - everyone needs a place to keep “stuff”. But also, you’re really missing out on being able to park in your garage!

I mean... normally I’m with you but there is a cost factor involved with building a 1700 sqft house vs a 2100 sqft house.

The real bummer is 90% of homeowners will then fill those two bays with junk and leave their cars out in the driveway.

Our first home was a snout-house, and while I get the idea that seeing the garage door represent potentially more than 50% of the front, it is very handy. (Also, it’s not like mid-century homes didn’t…

That is usually what they do for the next size up floorplans. The house in the picture - if representative of most snout houses - is a sub-2000 sqft house, probably more like 1700 sqft. The next size up floorplan might add in an “office” or extra BR to tip over the 2000 sqft size, and it does that by bringing the…

Oh, of course you’re right. But one can hope since the city agreed to it, they’ve come up with some way to have it covered in the inevitable court case.

Eh - he’s got PACs collecting money from the rubes to pay his legal fees.

I’m still waiting on his proof that Obama was born in Kenya. He said he had that too.

Yeah - Houston at least has automated readers. They’re just on patrol cars vs stationary cameras.

It is super fun to see the “video game” lap of the ‘Ring. It also shows how little “extra” room there really is. Do they list a time for this car running the track clean? I can’t help but wonder whether the detour to avoid the Karussel really saved any time considering how slow he had to get for the exit. Now if they…

In this age of pedestrian safety standards, I know flip-ups are done, but I’m a little surprised an automaker hasn’t brought back the clam-shell, or lift-door type hidden headlights.

What I always found amazing is how many of them are clearly expired yet they’re still being driven on. I wonder if the tag-reading cameras can’t actually read the temp tags?
