I drove a rental Chevy Spark around on one trip. The size was fantastic. The engine was crap.

Yep, Mini Coopers are quite popular in my neighborhood. They used to be a dream car for me, but now they are just as big as everything else.

I prefer smaller cars. Every once in a while I browse what's available in new cars. Every time there are fewer and fewer options in the compact/sub compact category. I guess I'm just going to hope nothing ever happens to my Civic (which is honestly larger than I'd wish) because I don't know what I'd replace it with.

Of course giant vehicles as a share of sales is going to increase, when that's 75%+ of what is available to buy.

I really enjoyed the Artemis Fowl books at that age

Edit: Also, assuming the anti-religion aspect isn't a deal breaker The Golden Compass/His Dark Materials series is a great read

That was my first thought, reading the article. There's no way he was just jogging. What kind of jogger takes a cart with them? I've never seen something like that, and I see a lot of joggers in my area.

Are you budgeting and allowing for fun when you're in the A phase? If not, or if you are but not at a reasonable level, it might be caused by a reaction to extreme limitations on yourself.

Took the whole week off of work this week. Hello, to the tantalizing taste of early retirement!

It's illegal pretty much anywhere west of the Mississippi River if I recall correctly.

Lasik. Being able to wake up in the morning and just see things with zero effort was life changing.

How many people have been assaulted by someone who would've been caught if a previous victim's rape kit had been processed in a timely manner?

It's absolutely sickening to think of...

It's almost the holidays! Anyone have any tricks to make the festivities more affordable?

A quick Google showed me a $40 smartphone from Walmart. Granted it's probably pretty terrible, but it does go to show that they aren't all priced like luxury toys. If you want a luxury branded phone, you'll pay luxury prices.

The same way I always do. Ignore as much of it as I can until I get my ballot.

Research people/issues as I fill out the ballot.

Check the results the next day to see how the results shake out. Repeat for the next election.

Just some tasty metal shards.

I didn't see a source in the article, but maybe the difference is between individual income vs household income, given the exact verbiage of "median income for a Coloradan."

Though if that was the case, I'd expect the value to be lower.

Edit: With some googling, it looks like the source might be a single income earner as noted by the Justice Department

If nothing else, she is an incredible business woman.

Why is someone who is not mentally competent enough to stand trial allowed to return to society? He should have been under medical supervision, not wandering the streets.

According to the article, boomers had ~20% of wealth when they were the same age as millennials. So even accounting for older generations having more, boomers were much better off in comparison.

Most people I know with taxidermy are hunters. So it is more "Let me relax in a space full of the creatures I've murdered."
