    Agreed! Thank you for saying this. I work in rural New Mexico and we have a similar issue - the pay is low, the job is stressful, and the hours are insufficient. (The hourly rate is only half the equation; these folks only get 4-6 hours per day of paid time, and the time is spread out in a way that stops them from

    Agreed on the Tacoma - just spent a week in one for a rental.  TERRIBLE acceleration and handling; my 1993 F250 has more guts off the line (when it’s not overheating...)

    Rust particles will cling to the tenent setae, and since DT’s wake has a high density of such particles, they will quickly form armor fully encasing the insect and inadvertently creating the next Marvel superhero: the Iron Fly.

    GM hasn’t made anything worth driving since the 2007 Duramax. It’s sad - I look every 3 years and...just...nothing. Awful. They used to be so damn great. Even the 2003-era Impalas were reliable highway cruisers with unique styling (with the 3.8, the ones used as cop cars). The Avalanche, as gauche as it was, was

    I live in New Mexico. I’m not sure anyone in this fair state has even seen a real pizza. After six years, I’m starting to doubt whether I ever have either...maybe what I think of as “pizza” was just heat-induced delusion and is therefore unattainable...

    As long as AVP:Requiem isn’t on the table, you pretty much win either way. Even the worst of them (Covenant) are at least visually interesting.

    Tell that to the last idiot in office - he did what he damn well pleased and got away with it all.

    ^^^ this. Was very confused when title was about jealousy and article was about envy. Those are not synonyms...

    One thing Ford did well that VW probably should have thought a bit more about is enclosing the battery in its own little box.

    Depends on your state. If your state has “gross receipt tax” (GRT) like we do in New Mexico, it’s applied to the entire receipt - including fees and surcharges.

    Marcellus Wallace’s soul.

    Subaru’s manual these days is absolute crap. My Impreza has a CVT because I couldn’t stand that wandering, floppy disaster. Maybe the one in the BRZ is better but I doubt they’d put that in this appliance car.

    Do you guys not have phones?

    What’s the range on that thing - 3 miles?

    Since most fuel pumps are liquid-cooled, people are unnecessarily burning them out by running themselves low all the time. Assuming the tank needs to be dropped to change the pump, you’re looking at several hundred dollars and at least a day in the shop.  Even when there’s backseat access like in some sedans, it’s

    Probably because that death trap would have caught fire regardless of the cop.

    Fruit gems are really, REALLY hard to find. Usually “old fashioned” penny candy stores or smoke shops on tourist trap boardwalks will have them loose for $0.20/ea or so. Other than that, Amazon. They are by far the best gelatinous fruit confection out there (Chuckles being a close second, but not quite soft enough).

    Re: trial period - almost all shelters are over capacity, and will allow you to “foster” a cat for a limited time.  They provide cat, food, and vet care; you just give it a loving home.  THIS is the best way to do a trial run.

    Why is there an “off” option on the cameras? They should be on at all times.

    To go with your first tip: ALSO buy a cheap multi-pack of Philips #2 bits (most - like 90% - Philips screws are #2 size). Philips bits wear down very quickly, and you’ll drive yourself crazy trying to use rounded-off screwdriver bits. Easier to toss and replace if you have 20 of them you bought for $10 on Amazon sittin
