The social meme circulating is appropriate here:

It’s long past due to go the Full Monty on air travelers who bring a firearm (loaded or unloaded) aboard commercial aircraft (checked baggage notwithstanding).

I live on a dead end street.  I cannot count the times I’ve directed lost drivers they need to turn around and start over.  They keep inisiting Google says they can drive through, even though I point out to them, “See that large earth barrier at the end of the street, topped by No Entry signs?”

Don’t follow the Fixer Upper crowd. That fan base wants you to paint everything white or beige! Everything, as in beautiful wood furniture, fireplace bricks and stones, exposed structural features in the house (e.g., wood beams and posts), every wall in the house (inside and out!).

Ah, the good old days when you met for coffee in a very public place surrounded by others. There were no apps or other social media places to hide behind. Life was real then. So were your very real, face to face social skills put to the test.

They should have called these guys to recover the vehicle before it went over the edge:

Because *everything* is bigger in Texas!  :)

A CME event described in this article is a civilization ending event. Full stop.

I just love authors of how-to articles with no sense of practical reality.

I bet you didn’t send a draft of this article to your local fire chief for a review. They would have told you not to publish it.

Never, ever buy tools for someone who knows what they are doing with tools.

Hey, Aaron!!

Efficiency is not always a good thing. Safety and security always.

How about a hidden switch that turns on a currency dye bomb when you exit your vehicle? Add in a 20 second delay timer for your own benefit and Bob’s your uncle. A would be thief would get blasted in the face by currency dye making it easier to find them.

When did so many turn into wusses? It’s only been in the past few years that so many whine about daylight saving. Changing my sleeping time twice a year isn’t a bigly issue for me.

No matter how much warning you give people, a sizeable portion of the population will fall nor just for the IRS scam, but any scam.

Well, I guess I blew it. Sixty percent of my income went into living expense, 30 percent into retirement, leaving ten percent for everything else.

“In fact, a FICO score higher than 760 doesn’t really matter to lenders, as anything beyond that will already qualify you for the lowest rate possible...”

Now playing

The original was scrapped but someone built a replica.

I’m in favor of all these stupid social media challenges (Tide Pod eating, crate walking, etc) if they result in the permanent impotence and/death of the participants. We don’t have enough chlorine in the human gene pool so if this stupid behavior hastens reducing their gene spread, I’m all for it.
