    Not that I like social media or tech companies (I detest them). But it's not a special case. Media companies, cable companies, newspapers, etc. They've all enjoyed the ability to m…

    While the author rightfully decries the bloating of the Rav4, it's pretty close to a perfect size for a couple who consistently travels outdoors. Our '14 Subie crosstrek just shit …

    I'm in favor of anything that negatively impacts China. They are our greatest geopolitical enemy. Ban it. Ban Huawei products. Ban Chinese entities from any and all ownership of re…

    There Are many localities where AirBnbs and other STRs make a significant proportion of housing. The town 45 minutes from me is over 15% AirBnbs/STRs. My town is better, but still …

    It's not just pedestrians. I think I'll never ride motorcycles on public roads again. I just don't trust drivers. They're all talking, texting, watching a fucking YouTube video or …

    I mean, 5.11a is really not that hard. Of course, there are levels to the game. 13 pitches changes the calculus a bit, but he regularly does 50+ pitch linkups. So, that's basically…
