Since it’s apparently International Grammar Day, can we discuss “its” and “it’s”? 

Everything’s a buttplug if you’re brave enough.

“remove all internal rinds.” twice.

Well if they made a bridge you can’t miss, of course boats going to hit it! Doesn’t seem like very good planning.

50km NEDC is about 21 miles EPA. And over 50% of PHEVs fail to get even that.

Hey, Windows Mobile could have did well if HTC stopped using 3 year old hardware while refusing to license gpu drivers and Microsoft didn’t backstab itself with WP7 nonsense.

I love Jalopnik, but when the bottom of my screen is covered with an ad that’s covered by an ad and a video that I’ve already watched covers the top of my screen, it’s just too much. I’ve seen fewer intrusive ads on torrent sites.

I grew up in Europe. While having lived in the US for 11 years, the amount of toys the average non-city living American adult has is mind-boggling (from guns, to atvs, to campers, boats, trailers, barns, extra cars, snowmobiles, etc).

It’s just so inconceivable to me to care for that much stuff, nor be able to pay for…

There is a sizeable contingent of Tesla owners who would literally die before admitting any flaw with their vehicle. Hell, they actually do die by driving into immovable objects because of Musk’s reality distortion field convincing them that their cars can drive themselves.

Hitachi digger must mean something different from where I’m from, because they are certainly not something you would let your kids play with.

The van driver should have pulled over on his own Accord. Now he’ll going to get a Civic lesson on hit and runs. Hopefully the punishment Fits the crime and he goes on an Odyssey to his local penitentiary.

I worked from home before this so it isn’t as big of an issue for me, but my corporate office went back a couple of weeks ago on a 50% rotation - but had to evacuate it Friday as a couple of employees got COVID. Now it being deep cleaned and everyone who forgot their computer is out of work until the doors open again.

How do you back up a manual car with your foot covering the brake? Do you have three feet? You put it in reverse with one foot on the clutch and one on the gas. Most of the time in a flat lot, if you do it correctly you don’t even need to step on the brake to stop - the car rolls to a stop, you put it in 1st and off…

Why would you buy a new car at 0% APR when you can get a year old one at 15-25% off at like 1% APR?

Ok, lot of action on this discussion so far so hopefully this doesn’t see too much attention. An old German mechanic taught me how to hand start a VW, without pushing or rolling it.

Hmmm. If only we built a society that took care of people in times of hardship so that we wouldn’t have to risk an agonizing death for ourselves or family members in order to pay bills.

The HUGE problem here is that we have no cohesive message from our leadership and some politicians are actively undermining the entire concept of any type of sane emergence from full lock down. Half the country is not wearing masks, not maintaining distance and not washing their hands to prove a political point.

We’ve had five months to establish any kind of robust contact tracing program. It still does not exist.

Well, there’s three levels of ‘fix’ for this pipe:

This is your regular reminder that planning and organization in the leadup to this, when we all could see what was coming, likely would have mitigated the effects, at least of the shutdowns if not the disease itself. Particularly with the executive branch of the federal government, which in all but the most…
