My parents had a new Coronet when I was in high school. (I’m old.) I drove that thing through the hills around Placerville like a bat out of hell. Teenagers are stupid.

I heard they used this years ago for a criminal case to find out who was printing threatening letters. I saw it on an old TV show, so I have no clue what it was. Either it was a printer that would automatically include this invisible watermark, or it was copied and the copier created the watermark.

Many, many years ago I worked in the fleet department for a large company. I learned a lot about the discounts dealers get. They will get discounts based on the number of cars they sell, especially of particular models. They will get additional discounts based on when they place orders. They will get discounts based…

Nice to see another pagan in the comments.

1. States are already cutting back, and some of them refused federal money for medicaid expansion under Obama.

Please, remember:

I couldn’t watch the first two seasons of Homeland because of the stupid Brody romance BS. I’ve been pretty much hooked since mid-season 3. However, this last season ended in a way that made me pound on my chair arms. I don’t know. I’ll probably tune in to the next season for a couple of episodes, then decide if it’s…

My DVR piles up, then when I’m sick, get a long weekend, or new episodes stop for a few weeks (December, spring, etc.), I catch up. Sometimes, if there’s a really intense arc in a show, I’ll save up the episodes, then binge when I get a chance.

I used to keep an empty plastic drink cup, like a heavy duty slurpee cup in the console, then hand it back to whichever child was ready to spew. Usually it was the younger one, so I would seat him behind the passenger seat, so I could hold the cup under his mouth and keep driving until I could pull over.

Watching Babette’s Feast was the only time I seriously considered trying turtle soup.

Yes. Also regular attendance at multiple meetings every week, where it’s duly noted who didn’t make it that day, who wasn’t prepared/didn’t study, who isn’t dressed appropriately, etc.

I’m pretty sure there was a recent study to the effect that getting chilled would temporarily lower your immunity, making it more likely that you would catch a cold during that time.

This is why I’ll pay extra for exit rows or front rows.

I have a 10-year-old Dyson that runs like new. Love it. Best vacuum I’ve ever had.

Yeah, no. Companies settle when they know the publicity is going to kill them, but they mostly settle because they don’t want to pay for a trial they’re going to lose. A trial for a large company can easily cost several million dollars. It can be worth it if the company believes that they’re going to win and set a…

Per a law blog I follow, there’s a “contract of carriage” that sets different standards for a passenger who has already been boarded and seated, as opposed to someone still waiting to board.

The sad truth is that dead victims can’t be witnesses

I worked for a divorce lawyer, and I’m going to heartily disagree.

The simplest way to handle it is to find out if one of your neighbor’s is Mormon, then take over their place and emergency supplies.

They have infants Benadryl. Here’s a link to a dosing chart from a pediatric group:
