    Does anyone actually like paddle shifters?

    I don't. If I'm making a very tight turn, like a 180, and I'm powering out of it, and I want to upshift before the wheel is completely straight, it's really awkward because the paddles have rotated with the wheel and I don't know where they are anymore. So I don't know why most manufacturers...

    Facebook rightfully getting own3d once again

    "For years, Facebook gave some of the world’s largest technology companies more intrusive access to users’ personal data than it has disclosed, effectively exempting those business partners from its usual privacy rules, according to internal records and interviews. Facebook allowed Microsoft’s...

    Are there any LED/CFL bulbs that don't make rooms look like science labs?

    I've always felt CFL bulbs suck compared to old-school incandescent bulbs. Well, so do LED's. I haven't been able to find any that produce natural-looking light, the way old-school incandescent bulbs did. They always end up making the room look really weird and harsh, like I'm in a photo lab...

    Why does Costco check your receipts at the door?

    This article claims it's not for loss prevention, but to check for cashier errors. That doesn't make sense. If cashier error was such a big issue, every retailer would be doing it. Does Costco not have a high opinion of their cashiers...

    Classic example of clickbait

    So today the media is all hyped about a "perfectly rectangular iceberg" (their words) So, they show a pic with only one corner of it (the one that looks perfect) Neglecting to provide the full photo, revealing that it isn't perfectly rectangular at all Idiots

    Do west coast students tend to pick western colleges?

    Haven't been able to prove/disprove this yet. But I suspect west coast students (particularly Californians) are more likely to attend west coast colleges, compared to east coast students, who are more likely to pick a faraway school. I say this because I have family working at a couple...

    What's up with no touchscreens on Macbooks?

    With every new MacBook announcement, I always check to see if they've added a touchscreen......no. For many years now, you could get a windows machine with similar specs, for HALF the cost, and WITH a touchscreen. Is Apple afraid that if they add a touchscreen it would be a tacit admission...

    Played out?

    Methinks so. Might have been newsworthy 1-2 years ago, but not anymore. Might wanna use a more original image, too. Do we use the same diagram of money every time we talk about money, or the same diagram of a computer chip when we talk about computers?

    Why does Apple's weather app suck so hard?

    There's an icon at the bottom of the app, saying it uses Weather Channel data. Really? Why is it so inaccurate then? EVERY SINGLE DAY, the high temp is 8-10 degrees HIGHER than it had been forecasted. I mean seriously, it's like a fucking game: Just add 8-10 degrees to the forecasted high...

    GPU spikes to 100%, crashing Windows apps

    Anyone else have the "stutter" problem with Windows? When doing something as simple as editing a photo, or even just scrolling down a webpage, it randomly decides to stutter for 2-3 seconds. Sometimes the app even crashes. And if I have Task Manager open, I can see the GPU (not CPU) spike to...

    Wheels and frames: Paint vs Powercoat vs Dipped

    Thoughts? Looking for the pros and cons of painting versus powdercoating versus Plasti-dip -- For example: - which one is the most chip-resistant? - which one looks glossier and thicker? - which one is better for metallics and pearls? - which one is better for flat black?

    Men and women pick the "best" female body

    Lingerie shop Bluebella.com polled 500 men and 500 women to create mashup images illustrating their “perfect body.” I have one question for the females: Cara Delevingne's face, really?? :wtf

    Songs you're tired of hearing?

    "Take it all back" by Judah & the Lion (who?). The main chorus is repetitive and tiring, and his voice is grating like Eminem's. How did this shit become a hit? Just because he's a Christian? :wtf

    You there, sitting in your car using handsfree

    That's right. You. Sitting in your luxury SUV, idling your engine for 30 minutes with the A/C on, reducing the lifespan of your hoses, gaskets, and electrical components due to heat buildup. Probably causing carbon deposits in your engine too. You might wanna turn the volume down. Today I...
