I first saw the scrambled eggs video on Twitter a few years back which then led me to my favorite Gordon Ramsay videos: there was a two-part BBC Christmas special from probably 10-15 years ago in which he just very calmly talks about cooking Christmas dinner for his family and then shows you how to do it. He also…

At least it’s matte plastic.  That shiny stuff now is tacky as fuck

I agree.  That’s why I prefer Masterchef over Hell’s Kitchen.  The stakes are just as stressful for the competitors, but Gordon is genuinely trying to educate the Masterchefs instead of always yelling, insulting and tearing them down.

As posted by dudr13 and me in a thread above, have a look at Continental units:

I’d also look at the Blaupunkt SQR 46 reissue.

I had the previous Porsche Classic Radio Nav for several years in a daily-driven car. I seriously hope that the new one is better - especially for the money. Things that I would want out of the new unit:

The M508 is your friend. You have to do a layer of tint/vinyl to match the display to the factory gauge colors, but it works and looks so nice.

No mention of a Focus RS or ST?
It’s one guy and a dog, for his needs it is more than big enough.

Wants: Compact but spacious, fun, rear-camera

I am firmly on the side of no chases unless the subject is an immediate danger to the public greater than the danger of chasing him. Which is probably 1% or less of them. Get his plate, let him go. Deal with it later when all involved have had a minute to chill the hell out.

Spanfeller: “can you find some way to reformat this as a listicle?”

Agreed on Book Muldoon.

When I saw JP in the original run the only part that really annoyed me was the last minute shoehorning in of Lex’s computer skills.

Book Hammond paid for that hubris, too.  I can see why Spielberg changed the character, but him getting eaten by the cute little compys was a just reward for his actions and would have been kind of fun on-screen.

The movie tries to have its cake and eat it too with Hammond (the source of most of the park’s problems in the book, and a much less benign figure there), because Spielberg empathized with him and made him a lot more sympathetic. So we get this weird combination of him being acted and coded as “a good guy who had a…

Having recently re-read the book, I feel the need to comment here.

I’ll be honest, the people leaving Jalopnik didn’t bother me too much because there are still some decent writers left and I honestly just pop in as a fairly mindless distraction from work. Had no real plans to change that and couldn’t really give a hoot about Spanefeller or hulk Hogan or whatever other garbage goes…
