Well, so the dealership-less transaction ended up just like a dealership experience. They advertise cars they don’t have, you check to see if the car is available, and you are told that it is. You go to the dealership and the car has vanished, but the dealer has another car that costs significantly more, because they…

You’ve probably heard the old “eat the frog” advice, which says you should tackle your most dreaded task first thing in the morning.

Well, I am not a big fan of trailings dots, or the misplaced upward inflection, so I would chose the period or the exclamation point. But the exclamation point just seems like an exaggerated response to me. Like I said, I am not an expert at this, and I haven’t dated this way, so I am not the best person to comment on…

I was driving back home with my wife when I saw a teenager wearing ultra small shorts in more than -15 F wind chill. Both of us stared at her, and my wife wondered aloud what was wrong with this girl. That’s summer clothes, please don’t do this in winter. Frostbite isn’t comfortable, and can be avoided.

The punctuation you use matters as well. Research suggests that using periods to end all of your messages can make them seem “too final” and insincere. At the same time, an exclamation point has been shown to make messages seem more sincere. For example, there’s a big difference between the texts “I’m fine.” and “I’m…

I don’t think that explains my case. Both my parents and I had Samsung phones when we installed Whatsapp. I had to pay, but they didn’t. I moved to LG, they stayed with Samsung, but I still had to pay. Finally I moved to Moto and gave them my old Samsung. I was once again asked to pay, but they weren’t even though…

has a cover price of $39.95 but Amazon is giving them away for only $30.53

It already was weird. I paid $1 every year that I used it. But my parents have never been asked to pay.

So the debate was right after NFL, smack in between UFC fight night. I guess a lot of people must have watched this. If their goal was that not much people should tune in, I am sure they are succeeding .

Those wheels are so tiny. Reminds me of the Maruti Suzuki I drove for some years while growing up.

That is usually because the FR-S is cheaper. And, for non-citizens like me, Toyota Financial provides easy/cheaper loans compared to Subaru dealerships. I wanted a BRZ in Subaru blue, but I ended up in a Scion instead. 1 week after I bought it, I got a call from Toyota Financial stating that my interest rate has been…

Yes, it is generally less well known compared to the civilian flight being shot down. Iran-US relationship has been pretty stinky since the Islamic revolution and the action of the revolutionaries to hold more than 60 Americans (diplomats and civilians) hostage for 444 days. Whatever the perceived injustice was, this…

Since 1989, you say? I wouldn’t be surprised, since there was a huge incident in 1988 where the US Navy guided missile cruiser Vincennes shot down Iran Air Flight 655, an very dangerous looking Airbus A300. If you wanna drag stuff from the 80s to make an argument that they have killed Americans, this is vital, isn’t…

I don’t recall any such incident related to Cuba. But then again, I am in my 20s and I did not grow up in America, so my knowledge of Cuban-American relationship isn’t comprehensive.

Yup, I forgot that part. That makes it an even more interesting question.

If you believe the way Fox News covered it, the video that surfaced of Iran’s detention of 10 American sailors was an outrage, the entire incident was a failure of the Obama Administration, and it was totally out of line to thank the Iranians for returning our sailors safely. Join me as I recount the absurd crescendo…

W. Chump and Sons :D

You are correct. I had to Google to understand that Cosmo used to be a guy who has transitioned now.

Of course. Toyota and Honda make many cars in America, providing American workers with jobs. This isn’t about patriotism, this is just stupid. Still, many folks fall for it. I have had people tell me that they buy Apple products because Apple makes them in the US. I just shake my head and walk away, since there is no…
