I’m pretty sure that all of the original coroner reports will somehow turn up missing now.

I don’t think that an ISA should control the speed of the vehicle, automatically slowing it down. But it should at least turn the vehicle into a Christmas tree, flashing all the lights, possibly even honking the horn. It should do this whenever the vehicle is going more than, say, 15mph over the posted limit. You would…

Very true, but it’s not just expiration dates I’m thinking about. Like, why did this item wind up at a reseller? Was it not good quality to begin with?

What you are describing in a bagel is what a proper bagel should be, i.e. dense and chewy. It’s only the sad imitation bagels that are sufficiently bread-like that can function in sandwich mode, but then, why not just use bread? I wonder, though, whether cutting the bagel crosswise as shown in the lead photo would…

Obligatory:

I was the most afraid to try this one, so it came last

I remember that episode. It definitely convinced me that frying a turkey was safely possible,  but too much trouble.

The better “stuffing” is that which doesn’t fit inside the bird and is baked alongside the turkey, in a casserole dish. Flavorful and dotted with crispy bits.

I’m hesitant about the food stuffs at places like HomeGoods. It often seems interesting, but I question just why those things wound up at a resale site.

My latest highway drive showed improved behavior with zipper merges, even though a shocking number of people will still opt to get in the surviving lane much earlier than necessary. I only encountered one problem, a trucker that decided to enforce early merging by blocking both lanes. You would that if anyone…

The car was light-years ahead of its time and was used as a future car as featured in Gattaca since its styling is so forward thinking.

I was actually around when the Avanti was first introduced. It was absolutely stunning, as it was unlike anything being produced in the US. I still have to stop and walk around it whenever I see one.

Seeing the footage on the news this morning, I so wanted Sanders to say “You’re a US Senator, in the US Senate. Save that behavior for outside if you want to do it.” The lack of respect for our seat of government is disgusting.

Get back to me when a proposal to project images of the boys over the Statue of Liberty gets any consideration.

The Beatles fans were every bit as crazy for the Fab Four, even more so with young girls. But it mostly limited to teens, with older generations downright hostile. Swifties run a much larger age range, and no one was trying to mimic the Beatles at their shows the way they do for Swift. Media coverage is also more…

It remains to be seen whether Exxon is really going to setup lithium production or if this is just some more greenwashing to give them cover while they continue to focus their real energies on oil and gas. I wouldn’t be surprised to hear in a couple of years that “further studies” show that pumping the brine isn’t…

No, it’s not a new phenomenon. You could argue that every religious prophet in history is an earlier example. Sinatra, Elvis, Beatles, etc., are all current examples, although it doesn’t feel like those people ever rose to quite the level that Swift has reached. I just wish that human nature wasn’t so willing to…

This continuing obsession with Swift is really disturbing to me. Not her specifically, she seems to be a genuinely good person. But the tendency of people to lose their damn minds over someone, no matter how good or evil, is a frightening trait. It just makes it so clear that we as a species are way too susceptible to…

Snake Pliskin says Hi.
