Squeaky wheel gets the grease. Just kinda disgusting that the grease cost 10,000 dollars. At least it shows that there's SOME kind of option for those of us who don't have the power to summon a twitter mob on demand.

A great deal of that probably comes down to how much you respect/like your parent. I think both my sister and myself resemble our dad far more than our mom, and our mom definitely demonstrated her personal interest onto us. My dad in c

I was cleaning stuff out recently and found a bunch of papers my mom saved from like 1st grade. What I learned about myself is I really, really wanted to be a car mechanic. Also made me realize that I don't really give a hoot about wha

Absolutely garbage interpretation in that headline. Yes, the news tab gets shifted over to to a dropdown menu, I can confirm this (Seattle Area for what it's worth). I can also confirm that the first 2 things I see after searching &quo

The funny thing is, if I showed this to my mom, she would probably blame the manufacturers and say the real answer is simpler vehicles that don't store "personal data". I wouldn't disagree with her either.
