  1. I hate the column shifter on the Mercedes. It isn't intuitive at all how to find N, and if you short stroke it, you wind up not getting D or R. (that's what she said)
  2. I see all the Victorinox knife recs and I agree they are an excellent value (I keep a few at various houses for guest use), but I really hate their feel and balance. The balance point feels too forward (handle too light) for me.
  3. He'll be fine, issues like that catch seasoned travelers all the time, much less a first timer. Don't sweat it, he's already learned more from it than anything you can add.
  4. How many is a Brazilian?
  5. Also, you might be able sell your dashcam video to some internet channel to make a bit of beer money.
  6. Tangent, one of the best South Park episodes as well: https://www.southparkstudios.com/episodes/hk2x6r/south-park-make-love-not-warcraft-season-10-ep-8 And Toyota used it in an ad:
  7. Are they wrong? Asking for a friend...
  8. "really explore the studio space"
  9. Golf courses are great places to fish, and super convenient with restrooms and carts who come by with cold drinks.
  10. Ratatouille, for nailing what it's all about.
  11. After having had a pool in 2 previous houses, I will not consider a house with a pool any more. It's great if you use it frequently. It's just a money and time pain in the ass if not.
  12. At least you don't own UPST, down 56% after earnings call.
  13. Hanger steak, seasoned one with a curry blend (curry on left) and one with some oddball lamb spice mix, left to brine for an hour on the counter - overseasoned the lamb one, was a bit salty. On Kamado Jr somewhere around 600 degrees, 4min a side. Rest 10min and slice. One of my favorite cuts for beef flavor.
  14. They've released some prelim images after alignment. It's stellar. (you can tip your waiter) New image on right, image from older telescope on the left. Image taken from this article: https://gizmodo.com/webb-telescope-sharp-images-nasa-1848899825
  15. Yeah, but how do you feel about Benihanas?
  16. But they don't have change fees for international, while United does, so I still browsed American yesterday.
  17. Hey man, I think my dresser looks fine.
  18. This is why pizza aerators are used. Roll the dough with an aerator and bubbles can't form, they get vented out.
  19. Think it's in some other thread already, but I'm really curious what they do with Rama. In terms of story it's incredibly simple.
  20. Hell yes, I came in here to post this.
  21. How many Lambos is "enough liquidity?"
  22. Especially when the subtitles are in a random foreign language. And are recorded into the video because you are watching some random pirated copy, so you can't turn them off.
  23. Most appliance stores will give you a refrigerator box for free if you ask in advance of dying.
  24. Bad idea, acid in the juice plus bacteria activity from the sugars weakens tooth enamel, and then brushing will erode it.
