I also forgot to mention the thrash fest that was the Slayer farewell tour - Napalm Death, Testament, Anthrax, Lamb of God, and Slayer. It was...all very loud. I’m actually not that much of a fan of thrash metal, but I like a lot of other metal, and I knew I needed to see Slayer because they’re legends that originated…

That ice cream bit in MBMBAM nearly made me crash my Vespa when I listened to it originally.  Love the animation.  

Are there never any hot guys doing cosplay that are worthy of pictures?  

Bah, I forgot about flying to Vegas to see Nine Inch Nails.  They put on a killer show.  Definitely a top contender.  But I hated every fucking inch of Vegas.  That city is literal hell.

oh how did I forget about this? I went to Vegas to see them.  It was a killer show, but I hated the absolute shit out of Vegas.

I WANTED to see Radiohead but tickets sold out instantaneously.  Bah.

I saw him a few years ago perform a Bauhaus set and it was pretty great.  

I saw a lot of damn good shows this year. Rufus Wainwright’s stop at the Aladdin in Portland was fucking transcendent, so that’s up there on the list. Nightwish put on a killer set at the Roseland. Lily Tomlin was hysterical. A drunk John Cameron Mitchell slurring The Origin of Love after a showing of Hedwig where he…

Ok but only if there’s a player with HE HATE ME incoherently scrawled on his back.  

Alright, new question.  Android vs. Apple?  ;)

Alright, new question (this may have already been addressed on this site). Engine braking - downshifting then lifting off the clutch while decelerating to slow down instead of just going into neutral and braking. Good or bad?

2012 VW GTI.  Same.  No idea why this car has 6 gears.  I never use 5th.  

First of all, what could Pornhub think a Cini Mini is?

I have a little plant in my office, and quite often, several cans of fizzy water with a few swigs of flat warm bleah left in them. The one goes into the other. I dunno, seems better than spilling it out, I suppose, but I wasn’t expecting any kind of woohoo magic.

Actually, the answer might be a Toyobaru.  A quick look suggests it doesn’t have a dual-clutch, but Car and Driver says its auto isn’t bad.  https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/2018-toyota-86-in-depth-review-engine-and-transmission

By 1972 standards, a fucking Toyota Avalon is tiny.

Yet another one of these that can be answered with three letters: GTI.  VW’s dual clutch transmission is a decent substitute for rowing your own.

Well now I use lactaid milk, since I know it exists.  :)

Oof. This may be a competitor when I go to replace my 2012 GTI in a few years (seriously considered a MazdaSpeed 3 when I bought the GTI). Give me a decent engine with that stick shift and we’ll seriously talk. Though the AWD is a bit of a turnoff. I’ve always hated the idea of having to replace four tires when I get…
