And the truly stupid thing is that once he saw the oncoming plow, his answer was to try to speed out of the situation. If he had just got off the gas until the truck he was passing moved ahead of him, he could easily have pulled safely back into his own lane.

The second picture makes it clear why he didn’t roll over the edge. The FWD effectively disengaged once the front tires went over the lip.

The interesting thing is that while Waterworld is the poster boy for movie failures, it made good money once you consider worldwide revenues. That’s the thing about action films, language isn’t a big issue.

Who watches the watcher, though?

Yes, a lot of people are being pretty callous. But it’s harder to maintain empathy and compassion for an addict that has access to resources like she does than it is for ordinary civilians.

(or equivalent; you also need to write a plausible reason why he was fooled, because I don’t think the story works if he’s just an idiot)

I’m not a marketing guy, so maybe resurrecting the brand has insufficient ROI for Stellantis. They’ve got a lot of brands to maintain. It’s just that I’m old enough to want the brand to survive.

I was OK with both actors, although Richson is much better physically. My problem is with the plots. They set up scenarios that were very interesting to begin with, but wound up totally failing Occam’s Razor. I find that very unsatisfying for mysteries. Seriously, kill multiple innocent people just to obscure the real…

I don’t think that it helped that the pitch kind of made fools out of people. It’s one thing to make a joke, but this deceived people and made them feel like the butt of the joke.

Target/Wegmans- I liked Hank Hill’s observation that he likes shopping at big box stores so he can see how his hammer looks with his pants before buying.

C’mon, don’t yuck someone else’s yum. I use it only infrequently on salad, and I don’t get other uses like pizza condiment, but live and let live.

Looking at the picture I thought it must have been some spelling of cronuts.

Another version of fried dough popular in New Orleans, usually dusted with powdered sugar.

Anyone who’s read Brunner’s The Sheep Look Up will immediately recognize this as a Puritan product.

Well, there’s ice-nine, but you don’t want to mess with that.

Metal bottles don’t really need anything more than a rinse if all you carry in it is water. That does still leave the lugging matter, though.

It sounds like there is a business model for someone to serve as a consolidator of Costco purchasing. They would offer an online ordering program that would be fulfilled via a weekly visit, say on Friday, and members would agree to a time over the weekend to pick up orders. This could even allow members to split up…

I think that the Hornet clone is a bit too car-like to fit the CUV niche, but maybe it could be lifted enough to work. The thing is, Chrysler as a brand is going to appeal mostly to Boomers and older GenXers who remember its better days, and those buyers want the easier access of a taller seating position. I was…

Here in the Midwest, RL may not be the best option, but it may well be the most accessible option.

Not just the Ape. $19.5K for a 66 Mini? $41K for a freaking 74 Scout II, the finest in agrarian tech for its era? Who are these people?
