You can be probike/pro public transit and also like cars as machines. The problem that needs to be addressed and I’m glad gets highlighted is that we’ve become dependent on cars, so much that we forget to design our living environments for the people.

Here, here! Snout homes are the laziest way to solve the problem of getting a garage and house on a small lot for a low budget. I’m an architect and a car guy and I’d never make the garage this prominent on a house. It’s hideous and also kills neighborhood vibes like you already noted. One of the towns I used to…

I think hiya updates automatically on Android. There is no manual update option and my hiya says, "4,123 numbers added today" 

One reason why I'm suprised that Subaru wasn't higher in the list. Both mine and my dad's subies didn't start the small parts breakage cycle until a minimum of 10 years into their lives. My 02 WRX only started showing it's age at about 13 or 14 years. 

No you could always buy an auto WRX. It was just the traditional 4EAT unit with real gears.

I agree. It seemed weird that they didn’t feature more of the local car culture in the area where they pitched the tent. They should have had a significant amount of the show dedicated to showing off the local car culture or driving around the local area, and then the rest of the show could have been unrelated films.

The La Croix difference or any other flavored sparkling water is two things: First, the pressure in the can from the carbonation creates a mist when you first open the container, which helps the scents travel faster to your nose. Second, when you carbonate water the CO2 and H20 react to form carbonic acid, which is…

This is what I do at home when my kegerator does not have any beer in it (shocking, I know!). I have two taps for my kegerator, so I often will have one keg filled with beer and the other filled with filtered tap water that I then carbonate. I bought a bottle of grapefruit oil so that we could rotate between lemon,…

I wish that Google would implement block level sync (incremental sync) like Dropbox has had forever. I switched my company over to Drive from Dropbox due to the far superior permissions controls on Drive. The downside is that it is significantly slower to sync changes to large files because it has to upload and…

Probably a good call, otherwise you would have to endure a visit from Toby.

Just a correction: The character pictured in the title image is Meridith Palmer and she is in charge of supplier relations, not the receptionist.

Well the BBB is a huge scam and their ratings are basically untrustworthy:

I’m considering switching to IDrive from Crashplan. They are offering their 2TB service for 90% for crashplan customers who are switching:

Really good point that I don’t think many people have mentioned. Comcast recently instituted their 1 TB cap here and I hit it once already trying to finish the additional backups to Crashplan that I had been putting off. With my normal traffic usage in mind and the multiple computers that I have to backup to a new…

I’m hoping that they spent enough money to deter them from any more of this bullshit. Also, wouldn’t it go up to a district Court or appellate Court before getting to the us supreme? I don’t know my court hierarchy.

I used to have the Zalman ZM-NC1000 cooler:

Figure out some form of Passive Income derived from your passion. If you can generate even a small source of passive income that gets deposited directly into a savings account and you rarely notice it, it will add up just like putting away a certain amount from your paycheck over time.

I wouldn’t say most of us. There are a lot of people buying or owning houses, building houses, building multi-family buildings etc. About 63% of people own their own home compared to 37% of renters (source: 

If you have the option, avoid needing a plunger completly by purchasing a toilet with a high MaP flush score:

I don’t think a Bialetti or moka pot is technically espresso. The pressure from a Aeropress and a moka pot are probably about the same.
