I am sure there is smuggling of coke on the China/North border. Coke, overgeneralizing, makes sugar water. Both sugar (or whatever sweetener) and water are plentiful and cheap. But Coke isn’t - relative to its costs. So you have a company with great margins, and has effectively beat back competition through brand…

I know things have changed since I started undergrad in 1997, but my parents and I had the discussion at Big Name %1er U in person. My mom saw the Oprah episode talking about the girl who found $100K in scholarships at the library, so off to the library I was sent. I came up with $20-30K, but this particular school…

I-16 between Macon and Statesboro. So boring the route is littered with broken fences from where people have crashed after drifting off to sleep

My mother passed a few years ago. This year I am focusing on my wife and I have a lovely relationship with my MIL

This is fantastic Kristin! Here are my points

Twitter is remarkably effective for customer complaints. I have gotten further with @ComcastCares than with their CSC or their website, and with better outcomes - for one example.

You didn’t mention FCA’s Uconnect, and it is one of the best infotainment systems out there. Nice UI, and the voice commands actually work consistently.

No gull wing doors? Pass.

The GPS app plus payment is a game changer. Before that app, you had to go on faith that a cab you called outside an urban center would show up at all, much less on time. And then you had to hope they wouldn’t screw you on the fare if it was an unfamiliar area.

My sister once told me before I made an impulse purchase to take a walk around the block, or have lunch. If you still want it after that, buy it.

I am an amateur vexillologist, and I do like the Lone Star Flag. New Mexico and the City of Denver have great ones too.

Or wait for an hour and it never shows. The best part about Uber is the app that shows the car on its way. And the fact that I can be in the middle of nowhere Utah where I have never been before, and my app finds a right that gets to me in minutes. I would have never attempted such a trip in a traditional cab.

I am looking forward to seeing Get Out, but I thought you may like this anecdote. A few years ago I did a summer internship in Norway. I shared a company apartment with a white Russian programmer who didn’t get out much. One weekend, we took a trip to Stockholm to see the sights. I was shocked by how little security…

I agree with the laser, cat’s eye comments. GPS data, slope, presence of deer? Basically road sign stuff would be helpful.

Only a couple months after buying a new (I know) Jeep Grand Cherokee, I had it on I-70 East in the fast lane driving to Missouri. It was about 1am just outside Hays, KS, no one one the road. My fiancee (wife now) was sitting shotgun sleeping peacefully while I was thinking about whether to drive through our planned…

Democratically elected??? There was a coup d’etat in Ukraine! Yanokocivch was the democratically elected leader, but because he was close to Putin, he was tossed out. There are no clean hands here.

Stranahan’s Whisky in Denver uses a food grade version to fill whisky barrels.

One crime at a time folks.

If you live in a stagnant area with no growth, bully for you. If you are traveling to areas that are growing and expanding - only internet connected GPS services will help you. I have been on plenty of roads that my Uconnect GPS doesn’t recognize.

That’s true now!! I was issued a company cell phone with the specific understanding that I would be available. One of the things I love about my Jeep GC Overland is the huge screen with big buttons for dialing conference call codes.
