    U.S. chains like IHOP and Denny's beat the mom-and-pop immigrant restaurants by decades (and they are truly terrible). I wouldn't be surprised if they got the idea from even lower …

    If you DM your provider through their health portal it's likely they'll write an order without requiring an office visit.

    As opposed to a moisture farmer, presumably: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aran_Islands#History If you're never seen Man of Aran , you're in for a treat! Far more thought provoking…

    It's not that complicated. When you buckle your unibody, you'll understand.

    Obviously, but the question I was responding to was, "Why buy a sleek phone made of premium materials just to bury it in the cheapest, ugliest, chunkiest plastic case you can find?…

    In an ICE pickup, maybe, but assuming the Slate has an EV weight distribution advantage, RWD is probably better. To each their own, but I much prefer my driven wheels not to be my …

    A 4x8 trailer is also a great option, if you have a place to keep one, and super cheap. I have a Thule that stands on end in the garage. Trailers are a lot easier to load and unloa…

    Size has nothing to do with it. The Rangers were body on frame.

    Plenty of people buy expensive phones for the specs and features, yet either have no interest in jewelry or see it as a negative status symbol.

    Or clothes, if you really want to do it right, like Madeline Khan's character in High Anxiety.

    If you've lived in Australia, I'm back to thinking you're being wholly disingenuous, and certainly evasive. I'll steer clear of engaging with you in the future.

    I don't know why you were down-voted, but I agree. It's also alarming how often you see people towing trailers that aren't even close to being level here. It almost seems like SOP.…

    You wrote that Australia has plenty of brodozers. Crossovers are not brodozers, nor is it possible to operate a brodozer on public roads in Australia. Clearly, you're misinformed, …

    Well, in his case he has full technical competency but he's missing a leg, but I agree with the point you're making.

    Sorry, I'm just trying to understand your point of view. I live in the US and spend a lot of time in the EU. I'm a citizen of both. It couldn't be more obvious to me that our stree…

    Those really only work in very dry climates. So some of Europe, but not places like the UK where the conference was cancelled.

    Maybe I misinterpreted, but I think they meant that if the American market didn't exist, neither would most of those models.

    I guess I'm old fashioned but I just can't imagine removing the cab to change my uncle's battery.

    I see. So you believe that if Europeans designed their streets to be less safe for pedestrians, like they are in the U.S., then their overall vehicular death rate would go down. Is…

    There have been several studies showing driver assistance systems cause a psychological shift that leads to drivers not paying attention. I guess we have to ask ourselves if we wan…

    You led with "people just hop right out onto zebra crossings expecting the right-of-way to be yielded to them." I think framing it this way was a mistake and the cause of your frus…

    How do you reconcile your viewpoint with the non-pedestrian vehicular death rate in Europe? Do you think the reason deaths are so much lower there is because Europeans are unconcer…

    And if you're over 18? In my state it's 1) an easy written test, 2) a few minutes driving around a parking lot, and 3) here's your license kid, have at it.
