My kids love it when I do a big “make your own” ramen dinner. I cook up the cheapo noodles, put out chicken broth, sliced chicken, eggs, cilantro, veggies(frozen, heated up), jalapeno, etc. Super-cheap dinner, they think it’s cool. Everyone wins.

Before we all go rushing to judgment, I found an image of his spouse online...

Anyone who grew up watching Danny Ainge play could’ve told Isiah Thomas that Ainge was a smart, shitty little weasel.

Yep, they’re matches now. In fact, they’ve always been, douche.

If I had one of those Maybachs surrounded by a couple of these, I guess I’d feel pretty safe on the road.

530 hp might be adequate for a 5 ton vehicle, but it seems like you’d want more than mere adequacy for these purposes.

It’s not a difficult concept. I’m not sure what you mean?

Yeah, cuz, if there’s one thing you should expect from teens working 3rd shift for minimum wage, it’s good time management decisions.

Well, if you loved the night shift, then everyone else has to love it, too. Makes sense.

Yesss, Smithers, how dare that serf nod off while working for peanuts at the Town Wafflery!

Now you’re getting into the whole nature of “lease vs own,” which is a wider debate than Volvo’s program, which is the topic.

More miles with Volvo, nicer car from Volvo, no down payment required, 24 mo commitment instead of 36 mo, insurance included. It’s apples and oranges.

This soldier’s story indicates how terrible life under the Kim regime must be. Every time I read about a defection, I think of the terrible cost to the defector’s family members who remain in North Korea. Forced labor camps, execution, etc.

The fact that people choose to flee the country despite the profound…

Some of the BMW’s referenced above seem kind of like a super-hot but psychotic girlfriend. Lots of memorable upside, tons of downside.

2016 Volvo V60 T6 Polestar ticks off lots of the boxes, plus it’s a unicorn.

You see a few low-mile used ones offered in the low $40's.

How about a late-model used Callaway Yukon? 550 hp, 550 lb-ft of torque, fast as hell, yet a total sleeper.

Moody’s Bar is worth a visit for delicious cheeseburgers. Great beer garden in warmer months.

If you want to go to a big museum (Shedd, Field, etc), go later in the afternoon. These places are often packed (and I mean PACKED!) in the morning and midday. Long, long lines. Busfuls of kids on field trips. Strollers everywhere.

I resent that! I wasn’t being a baby. Now where’s my ba-ba?

I inherited one of these from my grandfather, who died at 97. Dark brown, brown velour. Drove beautifully, very comfortable and dependable.
