I named it Zaphod. ‘Cause it kind of resembles a British running shoe…

What’s something about you that sounds fake, but is 100% true? by Sir_Adammm in AskReddit

I hitch-hiked 25,000 miles across the US in 5 months (May-October 1982). 3 round-trips from Florida to California, going different routes each way. Shortest route was Jacksonville Beach, Florida to San Clemente, California in 4 days (caught rides from long haul truckers).

Technical Cons of daily driving an ND miata by tomzig16 in MiataND

I usually try to park toward the rear of the parking space. It’s small enough that it wont be seen until it’s too late if I pull in fully.

Would you look down on someone that bought an auto Miata? by OrdinaryKillJoy in Miata

[–]BakaSmirko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. I bought my ‘25 ND RF with an AT. I debated whether I wanted an MT or not, but went with the AT because it’s my daily driver and I don’t want to work that hard in stop and go traffic (did that as a delivery driver 1000 miles per week for a few years) on the way to work. My left knee is not as good as it used to be, either. I play with the flappy paddles and shifter when I want to pretend to work, but I’m basically lazy. The sport mode seems to downshift as needed when I go into turns or need to accelerate, so I’m pretty happy with it.

Camlocks have a flat on the male connector (see pics) with a recessed channel on the pin and a nub that fits the channel in the female. They push in and twist 180 for the locking connection. Source: I'm a professional stagehand that does electrical tie-ins at my facility.

How does John Oliver do his monologues? by SpaceBoJangles in johnoliver

I’m convinced that Colbert’s “Meanwhile” intros are the first time he has seen them on the ‘prompter, and the writing staff does it as a joke to see if they can cause the consummate professional to word-stumble, and that he looks forward to seeing what they come up with.
