Blame the IIHS. Safety ratings give literally zero concern to the possible effects to pedestrians of a collision, no concern to visibility, and only minimal concern to the effects on the driver on the other side of the collision. It’s a ful

US import restrictions and tariffs also contribute to this problem… I would sell my left pinky toe to be able to buy a VW Multivan stateside. A practical 7 seater that can fit adult passengers in the third row, in a Toyota Camry-size packag

Stroll through the prepackaged bread aisle of any U.S. grocery store and look at the sugar content on the nutrition labels. At my local Safeway, the generic brand 100% whole wheat bread contains 4g of sugar per slice. With 16 slices in a pa

I look forward to reading the future retrospective on the US right wing’s persecution-complex-industrial complex. The book is available for free 3-day shipping at Barnes and Noble and it’s one of the “most censored books of the last 30 year

Pocket Casts is what I use, lots of useful features like silence trimming, voice amplification, organizational tools, chapters, and programmable skipping of intro ads. Recently open-sourced as well.

Maybe I would care more if Netflix contained any shows worth watching, instead of thousands of middling, forgettable Netflix “Originals.” Scrolling through Netflix these days is like digging through the bargain DVD bin at Walmart. I think t

Yes, except most men do not enjoy the liberty of being picky about it. For most guys I know, the attractiveness cutoff is merely “not obese”

This is correct, to an extent. But all the good presentation and clever bio-writing in the world will not save you if you are a typical 5/10 male on Tinder. It’s more that not doing those things can be problematic for attractive peop
