I felt a great disturbance in the collective GM site readership, as if millions of crypto-fascist Jalopnik readers suddenly cried out in terror, and were silenced.

I honestly don’t know why grasping this basic fact continues to be so elusive for some people. Even if you believe Columbus’s own account of visiting Iceland in 1477-78 is pure horseshit, even if you regard the Greenlander and Vinland Sagas to be fantasy and it’s established once and for all that the Vinland Map is…

Well, in keeping with the theme of the site, let’s hope they all get high-centered on a rock like their fellow morons at that mall in Omaha instead.

Domino’s is our best hope for potholes.

How is a project that 100 people spent five hours on being valued at only $400? You can’t even get a two-man crew from any trade to show up to any job for less than twice that.  

Eh, it’s just luck. I’m 44, of exclusively northern Euro extraction (Danish/Swedish/Finnish/German) and have a thicker pelt than a sasquatch (to the point where, e.g., the VP of HR at my current job has repeatedly remarked on my hair and actually once ran her hand through it, completely unbidden, as I was sitting in…

Just trying a change a single tire in my own driveway this past Saturday, I thought I was going to die. I’m pretty sure I would take AC over running water if forced to choose.

You say that now, but as a Packers fan who saw an entire decade of prime Rodgers (probably the single-best player in NFL history pre-Mahomes) frittered away by the feckless incompetence of Mike McCarthy and Ted Thompson, be prepared to eat those words if a similar fate befalls your guy.

Several already have, in multiple jurisdictions.  Google “swatting”.  

This is the same company that refused to include a fucking mouse with its (GUI) computers for decades. It’s in their DNA.

It’s just a matter of time before the Franklin Delano Bluth episodes of Arrested Development are pulled by Netflix. The past week has been the best advertisement for DVDs since the existence of DIVX at the very dawn of the format.

Thanks for this, I’m going to try it w/ my Lodge cast iron grill pan that I inadvertently left sitting in a small puddle on the counter after cleaning a while back. I couldn’t bring myself to buy the branded seasoning-repair products as every one of them I saw available for sale cost more than the friggin’ pan itself,…

I thought the one might be a young Dr. Zaius.

Heat is a short-list contestant for best movie of the 90s AFAIC, and Kilmer’s performance was good (even great in some parts, like his reload during the street shootout, which was probably the single best piece of gunfight choreography Hollywood had ever produced to that time). This list is beyond incomplete, it’s a…

Many years ago I worked as a tech for a firm that provided third-party warranty services to a number of large electronics manufacturers, e.g. Sony, LG, Toshiba, etc., etc. It’s funny you mention this, because I still remember, a decade later, how easy it was to perform work on Sony machines (laptops, TVs, etc.), as…

That’s funny, I just recently watched a few seasons of Alone, and the contestants who can’t fish/hunt successfully almost invariably look like living skeletons by the 4-6 week mark.

I mean, BMW, Honda, VW and others already pump out fake engine sounds, I don’t see why the electrical manufacturers couldn’t do the same thing. They’ll probably be required to do so eventually by legislation just for basic pedestrian safety concerns.

Shit, I moved all my belongings in a 3rd-gen Camaro on no less than three occasions.  

Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to be all that rare an occurrence:

Exactly. Being surprised that software first designed to run on a machine with 256MB of VRAM can run on a modern console is a bit silly.
