The funniest part of those comments is when all those white males preface their comments with “I am a black woman, and...” or “I am an African-American, and....” Sure you are, Chad.

I thought Harriot was kidding with those book titles. They’re the kind of broad sarcasm I associate with his columns. I mean, nobody would actually write books with titles like that in the real world.

The benefit isn’t for you. Digital instruments are cheap.

If you’re interested in carbon footprint, those mileage numbers should be approximately cut in half. They’re still very, very good - the equivalent of 71 MPG in the standard model! - but MPGe is crap. MPG and MPGe both measure the output (miles) in terms of the input at fill-up. But the real energy path isn’t from…

I used to live in a house with a water well. The water tasted fine and I’m sure the minerals in it were very health-giving, but it would choke up a Mr. Coffee in less than a year. I found out that if you run purified water (available at the local Publix for $0.86/gallon) through a Mr. Coffee you can go many years…

Right. But it’s not one hundred times worse than powder cocaine. Read this:

It looks clean, I like the convertible top, I love the 6-speed, I don’t even care about the 245 horsepower, I’ll bet if you put your foot in it it would get up and go real good. If I owned it, and if I ever got to be such a good driver that it was beginning to feel a bit slow, consider the vast scope of…

I think it was just for a better picture. Bright mid-day sunlight washes colors out while overcast/dusk light enhances them, and asphalt pavement with a sheen of rainfall is beautiful. Of all the pictures I’ve ever taken of my cars over the years, the ones taken shortly after rain, or in a light sprinkle, or under…

Interesting! But I had previously noticed as I waded through “CS HB1, Engrossed 1,” that embedded amidst all that brand-new law, Section 870.03 was completely repealed (see page 33 of the .pdf) and I was kind of curious in passing, what that could have been about. Unlike the typically discursive style of the rest of…

He can also afford a family-sized box of baking soda, and the finest of spoons, Bic lighters, and glass pipes.

It’s guaranteed, or your money back!

If you want to read the new statute in all its legalese glory:

“Mis-information”? You don’t say. The law was published on line here:

Many, many years ago when I was working as a full-time AutoCAD user, I didn’t do bitmap editing all that often so the full Photoshop package was out of my price range. However, I did have to edit bitmaps now and again, and then I got a free copy of Photoshop LE with a new hard drive. It was so useful and worked so…

I first saw the 1963-1/2 Ford Mustang in person at a car show in Clearwater, Florida. You couldn’t actually buy one yet, but the lady on the stand said they would begin shipping production models within just a few weeks. They had a fastback model that had a “back seat” that was a pretty tight fit even for an…

China? I thought BYD was Korean.

“America’s Public Enemy Number One is drug abuse,” says that honest man Richard Nixon. Then they show a bunch of birth control pills!

Fowler, on the other hand, didn’t really specialize in any one area, and a few of his assertions were undercut upon cross-examination. He testified that he believed carbon monoxide was a factor in Floyd’s death, but when asked by prosecutor Jerry Blackwell if it was true he had not “seen any data, or test…

There was a period in history when proud, patriotic citizens of the United Kingdom thought, “We are the foremost country in the world! When John Bull snaps his fingers, all the other countries in the world jump!”, but then the more sober of them cast their eyes to the West and said to themselves, “... but look at that…

I get the impression that they could all be the same guy.
