Yeah, don't get me wrong...I think you should be able to see a little tiny slice of your car because "you never know" I guess?  But I'm talking about the ones that are literally half car/half road.  There's no need for that and you miss a big chunk of your blindspot.  

 

I set mine where the only way to see a tiny part of my car is to lean forward.

It is the fallout from the Toledo War with Ohio. Way back when Michigan was about to be admitted to the union, the border between Ohio and Michigan was not well defined, and there was a dispute betwee

How does a product like WD40 stay in business all these years? I bought a can when I got out on my own, use a spritz a couple times of year at most. Then when my dad died in '07 I inherited his can of

Yeah, I like having a tiny sliver of car visible in each side mirror as a reference point. 

I also like having a large aftermarket convex mirror for a rear-view that allows me to better see my blind spots. 

Convex mirrors on both sides is still the best mod I have ever done to my car. I have no blind spots. At the point where I can no longer see a car in my mirror, their front bumper is at my front door, and I don't need the mirror.

Seems like you could lose a motorcycle in your blind spot if it's nearly the length of a car. I've got my mirrors set so if your front door is even with mine I can just about see the back door in the mirror. That's effectively no blind spot.

You can’t. Maybe I put it the wrong way, but at the point when you are looking at the mirror and can no longer see the vehicle in the mirror, you can see it out the side window. And at the other side of the mirror, I can see two lanes over. There is zero blind spot. It’s like having a wide angle camera at my front bumper looking back.

I don’t really follow recruiting that closely. Why does everyone always say “Fuck the Brockermeyers”? Because they decided to go to a school that wasn’t UT?

I stopped following a while ago but yeah, they would have been third generation Longhorns, and Herman gave their walk-on brother a scholarship and they still went to Alabama.

It's a remnant of when people of many languages, would answer the phone with "Good Morning" or "Good Afternoon", etc.  As Jerry Callo stated above...many languages (not all, probably not most)...would pick up the phone that way mid-last century.  My mom still answers her phone with "Bueno" because most people calling her speak Spanish first like she does, but also because like me she's too lazy to program their names into her phone so she just sees 10-digits and tries with "Bueno"   Then it got truncated, just like "Hello" got shortened to "Hey" (insert Seinfeld reference here).  Kinda like the traditional sign-off of a call "Hasta Luego" which literally translates to "See You Later"...even though you're not really talking about "seeing" as in sight, more of a Spicoli---"Later Dude."  

Now if you want to talk about why stop signs say "Alto"...I'm all ears.  Because nobody has ever sufficiently explained that one to me.

Because some pedestrian  posters do not want to toe the line and would prefer to stink things up.

I thought it was because they would hem around the point like some kind of heel, darn it.

As you get closer to the center, eventually the gas will become so dense that it will have the characteristics of a liquid or a solid.  however, there is no clearly defined surface and nothing we can make right now could survive,  There are probably some giant floating gas bags that are intelligent though

If I had any artistic ability I would sort through threads and pull out all of the best band names and make a concert poster

I imagine that there's a nerd among us who could pretty easily put together a bot to scrape the site for "band name" and other similar phrases.

what is the origin of johnny sack and rat fucking? What watershed did I miss on surly or shaggy?

 

 

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratfucking
 

It was during the Cruz/Beto run and I *believe* it was him just saying he was donating lots of time/$$$ to Cruz. If I recall correctly.  A lot of shit has happened since then.
