Just like toys, there is something to be said about teaching quality over quantity.

50 kids??? That’s insane. That is way too many for any kid to have at 4 years old. Talk about making meaningful relationships...

If you haven’t already picked it up, find The Little Red Racing Car. It’s a very cool story with excellent illustrations about a father/son barn find. The author has one other book out (The Greatest Race) and just released his third (a father/daughter book about a Porsche).

Toy cars are a slippery slope. At first, one or two hotwheels or die cast cars sounds great, then, it’s full on cars and coffee there. Oh, we’re talking about the kids? This one has been fun to share with them; it’s nice to share a passion with your kids early on that they can actually enjoy (they may like being in…

Yeah, I know you are right for the rationale and I don’t want to see a return to the killer years, but opening it up more would be more interesting. I want my cake and eat it, too!

Number 3 is an interesting take - I hadn’t thought about the DRS functioning backwards. Maybe the aero can just be fully adjustable in both directions during the race. Not sure if the drivers would like having another button to push, but it would open up some interesting possibilities.

Monaco is the track I most want to like, but it’s just not good for modern cars.

I still don’t like how DRS has to be activated only within certain zones. I don’t mind that the cars have to be within a certain distance to use it, but I kind of like the idea of just letting it be active throughout the track. You mess up and fly off the track because you were too ambitious with it, that’s on you.…

My initial reaction was the same as yours. A big “nope”.

They mention the Hellfire Club and we have a blonde telepath that is named after a Stepford Cuckoo (not yet confirmed she is one, but we know she is one). The writers tried a bit of misdirection with her, but she’s on the side of the mutants. Maybe she’s part of the Gifted’s version of the Hellfire club.

I wonder if evangelical conservatives would be for or against this. Wouldn’t becoming immortal translate that you are becoming like god and that is a huge sin for them? I mean, they would have to practice what they preach, but let’s assume they are true to their word here. Seems like a Tower of Babel issue here.

I hear this one a lot when people talk about the downside of immortality. I just can’t agree with this. There will always be something that brings you joy (or misery) to keep you from getting bored. Unless you end up in some sort of Hulk post existence world where it is just you and the heat death of the universe,…

Mrs. spngr311 already has those feelings!

I like it when manufacturers do these little branding details in a nondescript way. They don’t need to have a light broadcasting the brand/model, but small touches are nice.

At what point does this nostalgia happen?

Number 2 is a double edged sword. While you can get out of things you may not want to be at, you also don’t get to go to things you really want to.

When the show first started, I really didn’t care for Zsasz. However, it has gone on, he is one of my favorite characters on it. He just DGAF and I love it. He is a great foil to Gordon, reveling in mayhem, but not really caring for the politics of the underworld. I didn’t realize how much I missed him until the…

Out of the four dogs we have had (lab, golden retriever, rat terrier mix, bichon), the only dog that is dumb like that has been the rat terrier mix. Fortunately, we didn’t have to have surgery on him for that. The rest of them spend days/weeks on the bones.

My wife is very much in the CUV cult. If we don’t get another X5 (probably an E70), I’m going to look at the CX-9 as an option.

I always liked that 6, and the Protege 5 is one of my favorite normal cars. I’m a German Car Sadist (540iT daily, Z3 autocross toy, X5 for the wife), but Mazda is a company I am always rooting for and tempted by. I am curious to see how that new CX model will turn out.
