Really surprised that they weren’t purchased by Trek or Specialized - I’m seeing a lot of that lately; where a family owned shop closes and one of those two swoop in. It’s almost to the point where each shop in a city only carries one brand of bike - two in the Twin Cities because of QBP, but even then you have to ask… Read more
This article starts off stating a myth as if it were a fact. It claims that payday loan companies cater to “mostly low-income people or families.” That statement is completely false. As someone who has worked in that industry for many years, I can tell you that the majority of our customers are average middle… Read more
There is probably a formula out there for hypermilers and hybrid vehicles. I have the battery to consider. If the engine is not warm, the EV will never kick on, therefore I’d be running on gas my entire commute. And this only applies because my commute is 10 minutes long on only side streets. My car would be warm by… Read more
Yea.... This is why I spent the extra money and went with a Ninja Foodi. One shouldn’t cheap out by buying something that amounts to a generic Amazon brand to save a few dollars. Especially if it’s something that could potentially cause a fire.

At Schiphol, my local airport, the peak is earlier in the day, with Monday & Tuesday mornings always the worst. More noticeable in the part of the terminal dealing with flights to the Schengen zone. Read more
On a theoretical level, as one who spends as much time on airplanes as some of the crewmembers at times, due to constant work travel, I agree with this. Though in FL you can get hosed when the evening thunderstorms mean that your airplane didn’t make it in the night before. BTDT. Read more

You skipped a step when you advise people what to do if they think they’ve been an unwitting money mule. Since you pointed out that such a person can be prosecuted even though they had no idea they were committing a crime, they absolutely should not contact law enforcement before they have first retained a criminal… Read more
That depends on the nature of the scam. If it’s a romance scam, you’re not about to cheat someone you think you’re in a relationship with (or just ruin your chances of having sex). If it’s an employment scam they might threaten and bluster but probably won’t do much to you, though they might use your identity… Read more

Better yet, just don’t enable it if you don’t want to use it. It requires a specific action to enable, after selecting OK to the ULA’s on screen (while in park). As an owner and user of Tesla’s Full Self Driving Beta, I’m here to tell you that this is a nothing burger. FSD works great, but can make mistakes, like… Read more

From all the statistical analysis over the years that I’ve seen reported, the benefits far exceed the hazard/risk. There is good reason for them being required safety equipment. That said, there are clearly mistakes and cut corners when it comes to the design, manufacture, and long term maintenance of these systems.… Read more
It’s almost as if airbags are as much of a hazard as a benefit... Read more
The TikTok trend started with a “how to” video guide where a pair of masked individuals, called “Kia Boyz,” showed how to hot-wire a Kia by opening the steering column with a screwdriver and sticking the USB into the ignition cylinder (which just happens to be the same size) to turn the ignition on.
