Why are we shouting that Tesla “let” the driver do anything? Is the licensing process for operating these machines that meaningless now? As someone licensed for the privilege to drive cars on public roads (yes, it’s a privilege and should be regarded as such) everyone should be fully aware of their responsibilities

I was a day-one adopter of the Chromecast and snagged it for $11 if you factor in the 3 months of free Netflix. It’s served me well for its exact purpose: non-technical household members and visitors can fling youtube videos/pandora stations/whatever at our stereo from their phones or laptops with no setup. The whole

I like your first part, not so sure about the second. I don’t think there’s anything that will convince Republicans to reduce gun violence.

Winner.

Kelly has yet to comment publicly on the matter, but if she did, I would imagine it would be something along the lines of: “I’m not racist! I have black guns! Some of my best guns are black!

He’s going to be pissed if we get ahold of it and he finds out it’s not as big as it looks in a Mercator projection. The advisors will just have to hide the globes.

Father of two little boys here, my oldest is four and youngest is two. We have a “secret handshake” that we share and the boys insist on doing it before I leave the house in the mornings. Lately the eldest has shared that he doesn’t want me to go to work and prefers that I was at home with him. Gets me right in the

I’m a teacher. If your kid is in my class, you have a right to sit in and see what we’re doing. You can’t interfere, but you won’t be excluded. Seems the way it ought to be to me.

I got sent a sample of one about a year ago that used a downward facing camera that you put on top of your TV to determine what colors were being displayed on each side of the screen, and update the strip light accordingly. It...kind of worked, but not well enough to be worth it.

when he turned back to face the officer, the officer shouted, “Don’t you buck up at me.”

This assumes all palates are the same. Also not all restaurants are good. 

That’s a palmier and it doesn’t look anything even remotely like an elephant ear which looks like a puffy fried tortilla.

Easy.  All the volunteers helping out with the lawn need to do is see which asshhole neighbour has a “For Sale” sign out front.  Then (insert various ideas here).

This is why I always fly Southwest if I can help it; I’ve saved so much money doing this. Plus, if you book with points instead of cash, you just get the difference deposited back into your account, without the 12 month expiration of a Southwest travel voucher.

I know, I know! It’s “distracting”.

With the typo, I hope.
