Dear sir or madam. That was cruel. We need specifics. Please don't leave us hanging.

My objections to messenger have nothing to do with paranoid concerns over my privacy and everything to do with not having a satisfactory answer to the question "why should I?"

Sigh...westsiders.

What makes you think people who could create this clusterfun would even be able to program a toaster?

You neglect the option of leasing a CPO. Dealers don't like pushing this, but it's very much an option. My wife does this a lot, negotiating a price on the CPO then saying "okay, I want a lease on the car at that price". They usually sputter and say you can't lease a used car - you certainly can - and try to throw…

The shooting brake homage to the P1800. How long do I have to wait?

Shhhhh...pretty bird, it'll be okay.

Damn it! Why couldn't they just give him a shot? It's not like he was going to do any worse than Chilton.

He's right, of course, but when people talk about taking Eau Rouge flat out, they're really referring to the sequence of 3 corners beginning with Eau Rouge and not just the first corner.

Crossovers a popular because that most drivers - I mean non-enthusiasts - realize they are a way to get what they like about SUVs without the unnecessary bullshit. They can get the same higher seating position and volume of cargo capacity they like without buying a dolled-up truck. They have car handling, cost less,…

That could be just symptomatic of sampling bias. If a car is particularly reliable, then it could be that mechanics who deal with them are more likely to encounter them during big occasional failures rather than the myriad of smaller problems that might drive owners of less reliable cars to see a mechanic.

Ah, cash. The choice of criminals, immigrants, and old people everywhere.

We actually do a really good job of moving water from many sources west of the Rockies to central and southern California already. Between the Pacific Northwest and the Colorado river a lot of water is shifted to the drought-stricken areas. Unfortunately, most of it goes to subsidizing farmers in the central valley,…

I'm sure that Nutella has their hazelnut options configured to safely weather this sort of thing way in advance so their supply price is probably unaffected. Likewise, they aren't likely to make less of the stuff. If there's a true shortage then the effects would most likely be seen in other industrial-scale uses…

Hopefully a lot of the parents, 'cause kids will use their phones for evil if you give 'em half a chance.

In addition to all the obvious software-side stuff like preventing app installation/deletion and content controls within apps, you can prevent access to individual apps altogether. You can lock out the camera altogether or prevent particular apps from accessing it (so, for instance, your kid could take photos but not…

That's not a bad idea, but iOS already lets you lock out features on a pretty granular level through the parental controls. I assume Android supports similar protections.

The problem isn't that Lincoln didn't already have a smell. It's just that the smell Lincoln has is the stench of death.

Homicidal?
