My wife was not happy when I pointed out that our Outback wagon had more ground clearance at 8.7" than her 2013 Explorer SUV at 7.6". Then I made her really mad by calling her unibody Explorer a really tall station wagon.

They need a few appropriately positioned sentries.

And for those (like me) who have no clue what a Japanese yokai is, here’s the description from wikipedia:

Crying? I always thought they were playing hide-and-seek. Just shows you how deeply steeped in “car culture” I am.

I’ve witnessed tarantulas gathering on the highway to be squished in southwestern Oklahoma. My grandpa tried to swerve to miss them at first, but soon gave up. The mess they left on his truck was impressive.

I watched a girl eating either cereal or oatmeal as she was driving down the road. The bowl was in her left hand, the spoon in her right.

Like this.

And in Western Oklahoma.

Churches don’t choose to be pokestops or gyms. Ingress players submitted portals for that game, then Niantic selected from those portals to create the Pokestops and gyms.

I’m catching up with them on I-10 between Baton Rouge and Houston. My wife is from the Valley, so we’ve seen a lot of those on 59 too. 

Amateur.

If you’re looking for something different, then order up a Dragon Clutch from Swamp Dragon.

This is another point where the naysayers conflate the information to incite panic. Let’s be clear here, the CDC data does not distinguish between firearm types, so there’s no way to know, in the exceedingly rare instances where a child was killed with a firearm, whether the firearm used was a handgun or a long gun.

As 6Stringtheory said, you’ll spend about a grand to get started, but you’ll have some recurring costs, most notably batteries, props, and arms. The batteries are so that you have plenty on charge and ready to go. Props and arms are the first thing to break when you crash and you will crash a lot. Your transmitter and…

I grew up as my mom’s driving assistant. I learned how to shift by sitting in the passenger’s seat and shifting the gears while she worked the clutch. I got so good at it that she didn’t have to tell me to shift. I just listened to the engine, paid attention to the speed were going and the road ahead, then selected…

To evaluate the real risk, let’s start with the baseline risk as identified in the article: 0.63 firearm deaths per 100,000 children aged 1 to 4. That translates into a 0.00063% chance of death by firearm. The risk includes both intentional (homicide) and unintentional deaths. The homicide rate is 2.4 per 100,000 for…

This is a bunch of hyperbole. The overall per-capita death rate for kids less than one is 656.4 per 100,000. The per-capita death rate for kids 1 to 14 is 18.7 per 100,000. In keeping with the quote from the article, the overall per-capita death rate (all causes) for kids 1 to 4 is 28.4 per 100,000.

Except that you’re wrong. Jobst Brandt literally wrote the book on this.

That’s an excellent point. When I was younger (and dumber), I would draft semis on purpose. I had a small truck with a small engine with terrible aerodynamics and long distances to drive, so I made a game of it. I knew exactly how close I had to get before I could ease up on the throttle and how close I had to be…
