I was waiting for the right wing talking points to make their way here. The USPS does NOT lose money because it allows Jeff Bezos and Amazon to “just drop packages on the floor” and say “deliver it.” The USPS actually breaks even or makes a tiny profit on operations every year. The ONLY reason that they need a bailout

If the USPS would allow me to pay for a service where they throw my junk mail in the trash before I get to my mailbox, I would gladly pay it. I’d pay double if they could get advertisers to not waste the paper to begin with. 80% of my mail is mortgage refi offers.

Yay! Cheap gas.

The J6. Two door Gladiator, Im still hoping this sees production

Now playing

The Mighty FC. If they could have made this, it would be the Jeep in my driveway instead of an YJ.
Big cab, big bed very little wasted space.  Imagine this with a camper.

Looks like I’m gonna host a cookout for readers after all this is over.

they should be doing this to all the amazing old cars so we can keep them running in perpetuity. people park them and stare at them because theyre afraid theyll break them and theyll never run again. 

The contrast highlights how awful American “reality” shows are. In the BBC version he was allowed to have empathy, helped the restauranteurs with enthusiasm, common sense, and at the most extreme end tough love (perhaps my favorite was asking the owner, what do you make well? Gravy? Ok, you’re a gravy restaurant now,

Procra-stang-nation or Procrastang for short.

Dear Sir. I hope this correspondence finds you well. Fyi, if you feel the need to poke the quarter panels, floor boards and rocker panels with a screwdriver and it feels solid, please stop. The red coating on the outside of the vehicle is called paint. Underneath this coating is “metal”. It is a very solid material

Sure Dave...

I had no idea Land O’ Lakes was a Farmer owned co-op, I just kind of assumed they were part of a dairy megacorp and avoided them. I’ll still take Tillamook products first because they’re a local (region) association, but that’s good to know that they’re a not-shitty alternative

I thought that this might be a strong take, but it just appears to be the new consensus. THERE’S BEEN BACKLASH TO THE FIERI BACKLASH!

Yeah, DD&D is a good show. It’s too repetitive to watch every time it rolls around, but they do a good job finding places that do more than just batter and deep fry, and Fieri does a really effective job getting across what specifically is good about the food he’s eating. I’m impressed by how he doesn’t just gush

Fuck it, I love Guy Fieri. Yes, he looks like he gargles Mountain Dew instead of brushing, but the stuff on DD&D is great, and I’ve found some excellent local joints because of it. I was thrilled when he won The Next Food Network Star, and I ate at Johnny Garlic’s way back when he was still involved with it, and it

In before the haters. I actually am ok with Guy Fieri and DDD. He’s like one of those friends you have who’s a little embarrassing but generally fun to be around. I’m not sure he’s a great cook himself, but the show is enjoyable and fills a need. It’s been a huge boon to all of restaurants he’s profiled. May have even

Facts.  Add in the amount of time it takes me to see the slide counter at the bottom and the fact that I have to go through every slide before I can read comments and it’s a losing proposition.

I’ve noticed that a couple of the Gawker sites are beginning to use slides on listicles. And I just want to put my two cents in by saying that no one has ever read a listicle and thought “this article was great, but I really wish it could have taken me longer to read by requiring me to push some more buttons”.

White Castle technically steams their burgers on a pile of onions, they do not grill them (insert steamed hams joke). The party line is that the holes are there to let the steam pass through which cooks them faster, more evenly, and without flipping, while bathing them in oniony steam.
