It’s the littering equivalent of pissing in the ocean.

Ah you’re right. He (and I) didn’t take into account the layover in CHI. That does add ~6 hours to it. But in the end, the SW Chief is incredibly unreliable. Just right now, it’ll get to Chicago at LEAST 2 hours behind schedule. No wonder there is a 5 hour layover....

There are multiple ways to get from NYC to LA on Amtrak. Yes some do include buses. Looks like he did the Lake Shore Limited with a single (lonnnnng) transfer to the SW Chief. Costs $455, all train travel, and takes 62 hours.

Lived in OK for 7.5 years and just moved to MO for a job. Got used to tornadoes and cold winters and hail the size of minivans. Plus i’m a meteorologist so it was kinda a fun game to guess which town was gonna get destroyed by hail. But Earthquakes were completely foreign to us and still freaked us out. Our buildings…

If applications are designed to take advantage of multiple regions, it could be avoided. Unfortunately tons of people still use US-East-1 primarily. Multiple Availability zones are preached but when all your AZs go down......

We had a similar experience but it was over the phone. We were trading in my truck for a smaller car, a VW Passat. We found one of the last previous year on the lot and they had it heavily discounted. The dealer was 30 miles away so I did lots of talking on the phone. I took the truck up there for appraisal and to…

That’s strange. I just tried it and it asked me to confirm the order. I even tried the Alexa Deals and it still asked me to confirm it.

I see a Grand Cherokee, at least in the liftgate design.

The original story makes sense, but the viewer complaints don’t. When you say “Alexa, order a dollhouse” it presents you with a list of results. Then you have to confirm if you want the full result, or if you want to hear the next result. Then you have to confirm the order. I don’t see any way that simply hearing…

As a proud owner of an 04 Tahoe LS, I can confirm this is the better choice. I bought mine for the same price as this Commander, with only 32k on the clock (verified by carfax this was the original miles, no new cluster or anything to mess with the miles) and the thing is the best car i’ve ever owned. I tow with it,…

Brother and I had one and I remember some of the road stickers peeling off from folding it up so many times. But man was it fun.

6pm. It’s 00z which is 6pm now after Daylight Savings Time.

This is what passes for country music nowadays? Ugh.

I bought a Dot after Logitech released their official skill for Alexa and i’m so happy with it. I wish that it controlled other features like “Alexa, mute the TV”, etc. But I can say “Alexa, turn on Netflix” and it turns on my TV, my stereo, and tunes my Roku to Netflix. It’s pretty awesome. I only have the basic…

When I was young and fresh out of college, I got stuck in the payments trap buying a used car from a shady dealer. Concentrated on monthly payments and ended up getting screwed out of thousands of dollars. We got right side up and got rid of the truck, but we purchased a new vehicle 2 months ago from a better dealer.…

Leverage was really bad about that with Hyundai. I remember one episode where he gets in and starts up the Genesis and the shot is centered on the infotainment screen showing the big Hyundai logo for 2-3 seconds before the scene continues. Like WTF was that.

It’s not a Blackberry designed phone. It’s a rebranded Alcatel.

I tried Vue and the selection was good and the quality was great, but the Roku app was just horrendous. It’s better on the PS3 (obviously) but I hate switching between devices. But given the major issues I had last night with Sling, I may consider switching back.

When I bought my Tahoe it came with really pitted nasty stock rims. I kept them on for a while but then I found a set of 2011 Silverado rims that fit and swapped the tires. Paid $200 for the Silverado rims and sold the old rims for $100 to some guy who wanted them for his 90's Silverado. The cost of getting…

I’ve not had the window shattering issue, but I used one of these on my Chevy Tahoe and due to the flat back, it didn’t sit tight enough on the hatch and it moved around a lot. no matter how much I tightened the straps, the straight up/down design of the straps kept it from sitting tight. It also squeaked like a…
