Around St. Louis the common joke is if pronounce 'fork' as 'fark' and 'forty-four' as 'farty-far' then you grew up south of Interstate 64, if you pronounce it like a normal person you grew up north of 64. I've only know one person my entire life that pronounced it 'fark' and 'farty-far' and that...

gizmodo.com io9.com - now a subsite of gizmodo but they tend to have more entertainment & science articles than gizmodo engadget.com foxtrotalpha.jalopnik.com - I'll keep an eye on this one, but their main writer, Tyler Rogeway, is leaving for thedrive.com so I'll probably be switching to that...

That's because those politicians get wonderful contributions to their campaigns from the people who have a vested interest in making sure things don't change. The dealers don't want the franchise laws changed or circumvented because that endangers their business model. Which let's be honest...

My nephew got the aviation badge and could have done the flight at the time, but he waited until he and his family could get here (they live about 3.5 hours away by car) so I could take him on his first flight. My sister dropped him off at my airport, we did pre-flight and they left after we...

Congrats on your first PnP flight! Still waiting for a good opportunity here, I'm a little nervous about using a rental plane for flying animals. Don't want to mess up anyone else's flying time if the dog/cat can't hold it and/or gets sick.

I worked at Target for 4 years in high school and college, it's amazing the way people act at times. Think it helped turn me into the cynic I am today. It's also the reason I refuse to go shopping on Black Friday. I know what those workers go through, and they don't get paid any extra for...

I had a dream the other night where the wife and I were flying commercial to visit her family (terrifying enough) when it turns out my first instructor was our pilot. Oddly enough they were flying with the cockpit door open and my seat was in the first row behind the cockpit so I could hear them...

Musk didn't rule out the possibility of moving to a dealer model in the future, but his argument is mostly that Tesla is a boutique manufacturer and therefore setting up a dealership network just doesn't make sense right now. It makes sense though. Dealers make some good money from ongoing...

I'm trying to hold as well and am very interested in what they come up with. Last update I can find says they're planning on unveiling in March and that Musk is targeting a drag coefficient below .2 (Model S is .24 and for comparison the Camry is .28 from what I can find online)

I'd like to start putting some automation in our house, but since we're considering moving in a couple years my motivation is low. I've looked at the Philips Hue bulbs quite a bit and the Nest thermostat. The rest of it just doesn't seem to be quite there yet as far as usefulness for the effort...

The first 8 years of my career I was part of a shadow IT group in the Logistics business group. We created reports and tools using our own processes without having to go through all the red tape that IT had to deal with. We got a quote from our IT group one time to add a radio button to a web...

I paid for my license and tags, on my car so even by your logic I have as much right to the road as you do. And regardless, in Missouri, it's written in law that a cyclist has just as much of a right to the traffic lane as vehicles do. In addition, more and more road maintenance and construction...

I found this one the other day and really liked it. Added it to my work playlist. Land of Confusion is another one of their's I've always liked.

There are times where I will be on the road instead of on the parallel path. And it's for these reasons. One of those paths twists just enough through some trees that I can't see what I'm coming up on from behind or head on. It's overall safer for me to ride on the road. And trust me, the road...

Just to keep it going... http://io9.gizmodo.com/please-stop-spreading-this-nonsense-that-rey-from-star-1749134275 There's another post someone made about why Finn & Rey were able to hold their own against Kylo Ren that I can't get to thank to my work's firewall. But basically it boils down...

Around our house it's cookies. This year I made Butterfinger cookies, chocolate sugar cookies, chocolate chip (of course), Andes Mint stuffed sugar cookies, white chocolate and strawberry cookies. And the final ones that were by far the most popular: Brown Butter Salted Caramel Snickerdoodles...

I've gone into gas stations in bike shorts, but never sat down at a restaurant to eat in them. Usually if I ride from home I end up back at home so no big deal. If I drive somewhere to ride I'm trying to remember to keep a pair of regular shorts or pants in the car to wear before and after.

A couple coworkers were talking about the levees in Chesterfield the other day. I told them the people that built all that deserve it if those levees break and floods the valley again. The amount of development down there is insane. They just opened two outlet malls at opposite ends of the...

Yep, sure is. Sent from my LG-D850 using Tapatalk

Someone else's pic from the air of the airport I usually fly out of. Rivers in St. Louis aren't done rising yet either. It's a gigantic mess.
