Worth considering - the K10 Micra that these are based on didn’t have sway bars. At all. Not even on the front.

Nice one, Jason! I’m so happy for you!

For laptops, take a look at Sager/Clevo. They look like something the 1990s overlooked, yet have real gaming guts in them. The only semi-bullshit mine has is RGB keyboard backlight, but that can just be turned to reasonable settings and left there.

I know. It’s a damned shame. Virtually all “gaming” or even normal high-performance computer equipment looks like it was designed by a 13-year-old boy armed with a case of red bull, a set of black and red Sharpies, and the inside cover of a biology textbook.

It’s just how you sell stuff to guys.

So the thing is a time machine that can take us back 14 months? Please say yes.

While...ahem...servicing those in the proper seats.

Why on Earth do people want to board early? Are you really that eager to spend even more time sitting in your uncomfortable seat with inadequate leg room and a kid kicking you in the back? The plane leaves at the same time whether you are the first or last to get on.

Uh...I was making it in good faith. Sickle cell anemia affects different races in extremely different ways, and Diabetes has several very strong racial risk factors that make research both more difficult and more important. I was agreeing with you and giving examples of why your position was correct.

Yeah! What if we treated all races the same way for sickle cell anemia? Or diabetes?

I wonder what this evil, evil woman would do if she contracted AIDS? Anyone want to find out?

Fair enough, and as long as the therapist is fine with it too then go for it.

It’s not just what is or isn’t being touched - it’s what is and isn’t covered up too. Proper draping is a big deal. Massage therapy school is very strict about draping standards - almost comically so. If any part of you is uncovered, and you don’t want it uncovered, then things have turned inappropriate.

Hindsight is 20/20, sweetheart. If you put $5,000 in Bitcoin today, what will it be worth in 11 months? Whatever your answer is, it’s wrong. There is no way of knowing.

Really, grandpa? This again? You know as well as I do that after 1970 the oil cooler was rejecting more heat than the fins anyways. So what you’re calling air-cooled is really oil-cooled.

Yep. And M+S rated tires do not count. If it doesn’t have the mountain and snowflake, don’t even bother.

That only works up to a point. I’m a boring straight middle-aged married guy, and I would swoon over the Rock.

Also, some people are just friendly. If some 40-year-old dude is routinely chatting with your vivacious 26-year-old self, it might be creepy. But is he chatting the same way with the 53-year-old frump in purchasing too? And the 33-year-old dude two cubicles down from you?

Similar to the Listen approach is the Socratic Method of debate. You acknowledge the horrible thing they say, then ask why they feel that way or believe that thing. Never disagree with them, just keep asking why.
