Thing is, Lucky Lee’s was not cheap. It’s a “fast casual” concept but the prices were high. So the comparison should never have been with the cheap, greasy Chinese places.

Mostly Judaism as interpreted by the orthodox.

Instead of planned obsolescence, I think Tesla has found the answer: planned self-destruction via Autopilot.

Inspections in NJ are free. 

This is the one time I am thankful that cell phone companies record every bit of information on your phone. Just last week, a woman was convicted of manslaughter in NJ because the prosecutors were able to prove that she was texting at the same time she collided with a car, a car she rearended so hard that that car…

I give fantastic gifts. I put a lot of time and thought into getting great gifts for people, and I spend a decent amount. At the same time, I am a terrible wrapper. The last gift I had to wrap, the gift didn’t really fit with the size of the paper I had, so I used two separate pieces of gift wrap. The designs on the…

My wife and I buy the 12 oz blob of Beyond Meat and make burgers one night, then make meatballs to add to spaghetti the next. The “meat” is actually pretty versatile- we use it to make tacos too. 

That pizza is not worth $35. It’s not worth the $5 a slice they charge you when you wait in line for it. The old man Dom just douses the pizza with olive oil. Like, think about pouring olive oil over your slice to add some sweetness, then pour it again.

You’re walking away because you made a stupid argument. There are 13,000 taxi medallions. And 85,000 Uber/Lyft licenses.

Oh right. They capped them at 85,000 cars.

Question for Android users: is everyone ok with Google amassing vast amount of data on you without even a proper pretext? I just switched to Android and I can’t turn off Google’s access to the phone’s body sensors or microphone just to use SMS. I mean, I can turn it off, but then I get a message that I need to grant…

Are you under the impression that Uber/Lyft is not competing with yellow cabs? What are you even talking about?

There are enough senators from northern states who could, if they voted to, impeach Trump. But they won’t. And they will be re-elected. 

Your example is playing with the supply side, but in places like NYC where the supply of drivers is almost a constant, then raising prices during rush hour has nothing to do with increasing the supply of drivers but just padding the bottom line because they can.

If a guy were selling a pristine stock 240z, he could do pretty well.

My wife stopped drinking coffee when she was pregnant and hasn’t gone back. I figure I’ll be able to retire a full two years earlier because of that. 

Does Android Auto require you to allow Google to access all of your information, even when it has nothing to do with the service? I just switched to Android and it sends me a reminder every time I send a text that I need to let Google access the body sensor and microphone in order to send texts.

I don’t mind the Civic. In fact, I just recommended one to my friend’s mother who was looking for a new car. But the Accord’s proportions are just off.

The sloped coupe look is hideous.

What money will she have to spend in the second year of ownership?
