Which is ridiculous--if people would actually test drive a minivan or use it for a few weeks they'd end up loving them. The side doors, back hatch and fold flat seats mean a mini van is a heck of a setup. My wife makes fun of me but if

I had a new one in 2005 and I LOVED that thing. I sold it and bought a hybrid Camry in 2009 because of gas prices and while the Camry has been great I miss the Element all the time. It was such a practical vehicle, and it had actual persona

If you live in a civilized state where there isn't mandated annual vehicle inspections, you can just go to a shop in a poorer part of time and most of the time they'll weld in a straight pipe so you can hook up the muffler again.

The point is to drive their preferences and thoughts on how things should be home and reshape urban landscapes to fit a vocal minorities views on how things should be with the hopes that if they impose their will on the landscape it will re

I'm one of those people. I LOVE being able to go anywhere I want, when I want. I'm willing to pay for the privilege. Do you know what happens when you take away parking and make it difficult for me to bring myself (and lets be hon

There was someone on Youtube (What is Going on with Shipping? w/Sal Mercogliano) that did the math on dredging and with the capability that can be harnessed and it sounds very unlikely. The ship is so tall that unloading it from the oc

It’s well and truly buried. Something like it plowed into the mud at 14 knots, and pushed over a full ship length into it. It’s draft is typically 40ish feet and it’s in 20ft of water at the bow. So that means it’s buried 20ft in mud up fro

Note that this is from the early days of iTunes--things could be radically different behind the scenes now. I suspect if it isn't listed as 'Apple Lossless' or one of the other fancy labels, its probably originally from a CD

Or the school drumming out dumb kids, or underperforming kids of any sort, or mentally handicapped kids? Because charter schools do that.

Don’t ever forget that at its core Microsoft is still the same company we grew up with. Just because they’re singing sweet songs now doesn’t mean they’re fundamentally different. I know that there are a lot of developers on here that disagr

Exactly. Code can pass 100% of tests--but the tests only cover what the test writer knows about. Code, especially old code, can encapsulate TONS of weird human and business specific behavior that you don't know about or doesn't se

I work in a lot of old systems and this is something I have to remind myself of constantly--the people that were working on these systems before me were not necessarily dumber than me. If they made these choices, they may have had good reas

Yes, I'm sure those are at least double pane. Modern windows (especially high end) can be both energy efficient and nice looking. Same goes for their concrete walls--its quite likely that they have insulation in wall cavities or embedd

Well yes, they all complain about being a landlord. However as you say, they never discuss the money side of things--just the hassle. Most landlords in a very bad year will break even, but in an average year will be in the positive. And of

The new Pro's bring back the MagSafe port btw and its SO much nicer than the USB-C charger. I've just gotten in a few so far and hadn't really realized how much I missed the MagSafe charging until I got it back

I laughed at her description of the drying rack 'holding more than a regular load of clothing'. My (American) clothes washer easily holds more than twice what she has displayed.

Turkmenistan has essentially endless natural gas. They'd love to sell it but the Russian government is very focused on making sure that they stay as the only real buyer of their gas.
