Entirely true...but it used to be a quality product that would give a very nice finish in the hands of a non-moron. Now, not so much.

Perhaps the "new math" is of some benefit after all.

Yeah, but the Sears catalog was a definite luxurious step up from a corn cob.

With a handle like "yo mama" and such a non-specific question, it should come as no surprise.

Excellent...as well as the insane push to add more and more processing power to vehicles for features that are absolutely unnecessary in something that primarily drags a fat butt to work or to the grocery store and back.

Where the stop-start system makes sense is in stop-and-go rush hour driving. Back when I was a poor student commuting to school, usually running on fumes, I'd routinely shut my engine down when the traffic stopped. It really bites to run out of gas in the center lane of an interstate, with long lines of cars on either side of you. Stopping the engine during prolonged idling can indeed save significant fuel. Far as normal driving? I'm not convinced. 1) The starter motors in cars so equipped are insanely expensive compared to the old school units; 2) there's just that much more stuff to fail in control circuits etc.; and 3) while driving a rental not too long ago, I would have been smashed flat by a semi had I not disabled the system, allowing me to nail the throttle to get out of the way without having to wait for re-start. Hundredths of a second can make the difference between life and death, and I'm not the only one who's experienced similar almost-disasters. Some cars now do not allow for the system to be disabled, so pay attention.

...to fart car:

Days when people could have civil, rational, adult discussions without resorting to name-calling, doxing, or cancelling are but a fond memory.

Members Only was a clothing line popular in the US in the 1980s, every bit as cool as the '70s polyester leisure suit.

You probably need a phone app to get good results now...

Many times have I seen models exhibiting a sense of proportion and line like this:

Unbuilt Modelhaus kits run from about $300 to over $600, depending on subject. They don't sell fast but they usually sell. Vintage Johan...or anything else...prices are easy to determine on eBay. Built kits aren't worth much usually, rarely as much as unbuilt, unless you're a top-tier builder like Paul Hettick. Most of the listings on eBay for "pro-built" kits are a joke, look like 10-year olds did them, so be realistic about the quality of your work when pricing built-ups.

Mistakes are what we make while we learn not to make the same ones again.

Already exists with the internet-connected toilet. Still, it doesn't work as well as the printed pages for...you know...the actual job.

OMG !!! OMG !!! THIS IS SO VIOLENT !!! OMG !!! OMG !!! AND GUNS TOO !!! OMG OMG OMG !!! MOMMYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Real shame too, 'cause it used to be a quality product, for decades. But then the know-nothing bean-counters come in...
