To help you maintain your night vision while driving in the dark (which can also be achieved by using red backlighting).

Oh man, I’m gonna try making a pumpkin version of this for Thanksgiving instead of the usual pie. Boom.

With most of these featuring cool local bars & cafes, boutiques, galleries, or beaches, Chicago’s N. Alta Vista Terrace stands out as the most boring entry in the list.

Spot on. Costco’s canned organic tomato sauce is decent too...at least decent enough to open a can after a long day at work, dump into a pan, season up, and make a quick spaghetti sauce that beats the hell out of jarred sauce for a quick weeknight dinner.

I wish you’d asked him what in the holy hell GM engineers were thinking when they designed the latest version of their keyless entry system to make the reverse lights come on any time their cars are locked and unlocked.

Apologies to you and to your John Varvatos sunglasses.

As a current BMW owner, I can confirm this. Also, all three mirrors are permanently angled to show me a reflection of myself (so I can check my hair, make sure my Ray Bans look fly, etc.) rather than what’s behind me.

In your haste to post your hipsterish snobbery, you failed to read the first sentence of the last paragraph.

The footnote is key for Chicago: “Combination of metro divisions”. Depending on which definition of “Chicago” they used (Census Bureau, Office of Management and Budget, etc.), there could be low-property-value cities like Gary, Joliet, and/or Rockford in there throwing off our numbers.

It always cracks me up that when a drivers license expires, it also magically ceases to function as photo identification.

That’s handy. When I first got this Samsung, I tried convincing friends to switch to WhatsApp, but alas, no dice. They’re too used to using Apple’s messaging app.

Totally. If you’re okay with starting within the Apple ecosystem, then the iPhone is the king of “push a button and make it go”. But for the type of user who decides, “you know, I’d rather use Opera than Safari” or “I don’t care for Apple’s calendar, I’d prefer to use Google’s”, this is where Android shines.

User experience and iMessage.

Holy cow, that’s beautiful! Well done, sir.

Even taking into account what @PraytoCheesus and @THERANTGUY said, this is still a viable plan if you substitute “double-sided tape” with loops of archival-quality mounting tape (or archival-quality double-sided mounting tape, but that appears to be harder to find), and you use either small-outside-diameter washers or

Same. Reading this on my 64GB S6 edge right now, in fact.

I starred this, then unstarred it, so that I could star it again.

Yes, digging this. Sounds like they’re staying in their wheelhouse for the second album, style-wise. That pleases me.

You need to look at jobsite table saws! I bought a DeWalt DW745 on sale for $329, and have easily gotten my money’s worth out of it. It’s been invaluable not just for stuff like ripping a plywood sheet into shelves, but also for being able to accurately repeat the same cut over & over & over...like the time I turned a
