Instant overnight glue makes me so mad.

If you take the test with a car fitted with an automatic transmission, you're not allowed to drive vehicles with manual transmission. I don't know how it works for truck license (>3500 kg). Perhaps you can't even get one.

I like it!

Could mean instant relief that only lasts overnight.

When my Mom first got her license it was like that in Massachusetts.

Hopefully this person has lots of sheets for that instant of relief. Could get messy.

The way it should be!

I feel like that would mean even fewer manuals would be made.

Happy memorial day to all y'all. Be safe and remember, if you drink, don't drive, do the watermelon crawl.

I just looked at my stats and I've been here for 3 years and one month on the nipple.

NIPPLE!

My phone somehow managed to go swimming in the pool of condensation my water bottle made on my night table last night. It now just buzzes. This is no good. Fortunately I was due for a new phone last month. Just been too busy to go get one. Not that the stores are open today...

lg g2 looks to be the best free smartphone out there for at&t (i assume that's what you have at least), at least for android. i like my htc one m8 (nice speakers, solid build quality, just about the perfect size and very good battery life), but it is like $200 even with contract renewal.

Got an HTC one. Not M8. Didn't see the benefits. I loved my Inspire while it lasted. Figured HTC deserved another go. I especially love having a metal phone. Keeps it safe at work

A cow-orker bought the S5 for his upgrade after debating between the S5 and the HTC One for several weeks. If memory serves, the S5 is supposed to be waterproof to a couple of meters...

The benefits are significant (at least to me they are), but still you probably got a better phone than most of the ones out there. I ordered mine with an otter box case, so I never had the metal experience. Other than having to reset the radios now and then (typical HTC issue), I don't recall having any problems over the past couple of months I've had the phone.

I assumed the opposite.
