RIP 1984 Volvo 242, crashed in 2005.

Mom and dad (divorced) separately owned a 1963 Mercury Comet convertible purchased from Grandpa (who also restored many, many VW’S) and a ‘38 Plymouth sedan, respectively. Both sold them in the mid-nineties for reasons which are still not clear. Mom now owns the last car grandpa restored before he passed: a 1963 MGB,…

Maybe I’m missing something but the electric version is meh to me. I’m still in a single car phase of my life and I drive on LONG trips at least twice a year. I’ve driven across country and back three times in five years. Electric cars are just not for me. Hybrids are attractive, but 38mpg is not enough for me to…

This was a good move, and I think we’ve been making good moves lately. But we need to start thinking several moves ahead. Look at the fake news issue: they’ve already turned that around on us and are using it against us. That’s what they do and we should expect it and start preparing for it. How will this be used…

I agree with you but I think you have to look at the bigger picture. Depending on how much of this turns out to be true it will probably be used against us in the future when anything critical of Trump gets published. That may have been the point to leaking it in the first place. I think it was important to publish…

I agree with everything you said, but I can’t shake the feeling that this dossier, either by accident or design, will be used as a tool in the future to undermine any attempts to discredit Trump. That scares me and I think we need to figure out a way to get ahead of it, and fast.

I dunno, Crush is a pretty good song.

Phish gives me a weird vibe ever since I saw Trey Anastasio backing up Kid Rock on SNL playing “only God knows why”. I wouldn’t have known who he was, my hippie friend pointed him out “Oh my God, is that...?”. Bonus points weird out: the vocals of that song were heavily autotuned in the radio release but KR sang it au…

My take on the saccharine sweetness of that song was his new role as a father. I thought he was trying to make a song he wouldn’t have to explain to his son.

This puts me in mind of the movie A Few Good Men. I think they did it to put Trump on blast as much as to have the actual recount. Now everyone knows they don’t want it to happen.

I don’t think your assessment is off. I don’t think it’s true, I think this probably really happened to her, but I don’t think it’s out of the realm of possibility considering how much of the Jenner/Kardashian clan’s life we know is fabricated.

My actual first thought, though, was that it was a real robbery but setup…

I’m wondering what Gawker’s criteria are for deciding if leaked documents are newsworthy. Does Gawker use any discretion? Or is inside news always worth printing? It seems that Gawker is of the opinion that voyeurism is justification enough. I’m not necessarily criticizing, I just want to know where the line is, or if…

My biggest beef with cast iron is the weight. I’m an average sized woman but I have tiny hands, and while my small and medium are light enough the full size skillet is to heavy to be practical for me. I can’t maneuver it to do anything off the burner so I always use my large stainless first.

ONE NAME: Teena Marie.

That is how you emulate without co-opting. She was even more popular with black audiences than white, even after they found out she was white.

Benihana and it’s ilk: e.g. the broad genre of teppenyaki and show-off asian food are ALL way, way overrated. I will never understand the American fascination with this shit, it’s sub par asian food at best.

I don’t know what happened to your plan to use a few regular people for this feature, but I’m available ;). I’m a PhD student studying nuclear astrophysics, and I promise I do not use an iphone or macbook air (although most of the people in my department do).

This is the best installment in years. Alan Henry, I’m going to go back and look at all your past work now. You are the kind of person I expect to be working for Lifehacker, and this is what I expect of all these tech gurus you guys find for this feature who all end up using iphones and macbook airs.

Wait, why aren’t old Volvo’s bulletproof?

Am I the only one who heard the Jimmy Fallon version first and liked the speedier tempo better?

jesus H, am I going to have to buy a blu-ray drive and player just to watch these (I will)?.
