No ejection in a VLA this size, some do have parachutes. But in my mind marginally controlled gliding seems preferable to absolutely uncontrolled floating in like 80% of the scenarios I can imagine.

To be fair, that exact method is showing some possibility of actually making someone president. So there’s that.

Why is there always some jackass know-it-all who wanders along, wipes the drool off his chin and offers to educate us?

What?! No! Tying off the vessel securely and with redundancy at an actual pier is “standard practice.” Using thrusters to try to keep it against a soft shore while fifty tons of crap is loaded is some bush league bullshit... because Russia.

Edit. No need to pile on.

thank you; I saw this headline and lede and my immediate thought was, “And evidently you’ve never listened to Terry Gross before?” My sister and I literally call these probing, sort-of-inappropriate personal questions “Fresh Air Questions.”

That’s intense dude. There’s a massive emphasis placed on the credit score these days. Even some jobs run a credit report for hiring. That has to make things tough. Good luck! I hope it works out and makes things easier for you.

ALL THE STARS FOR YOU.

+1000 for your name.

Tuesday cake? Your work has Tuesday cake?

You capitalized “Cake.” And now... I’m going the distance, I’m going for speeeeeed.

I do love a challenge. But my insurance rates are just starting to go back down...

Ha! I’d say yes, but no. My XC is a replacement for a 2013 S60. I got “suckered” into buying my first Volvo because I rolled and almost died in my last non-Volvo so, yanno. :)

Oh man. Oh man oh man oh man.

My XC90 is in the shop and I’m driving a V60 T6 loaner at the moment. Love this thing. Can’t wait to get the beast back, but this little wagon is pretty dope.

As the owner of a ‘16 XC90, I approve of this message.

My car (2016 Volvo XC90) is in the 5-star category with 10 reviews, but admittedly my particular specimen is in the shop right now for the third time, same issue. So I wouldn’t necessarily say these reviews represent real-world experience. :)

As someone who is a connoisseur of male humans, I can speak for most (all?) of the ladies and gays here by telling you that the hottest part of an in-shape dude is everything between the bottom of his belly button and the top of his (properly-positioned) waistband. You should at least be able to fit a sideways hand…

This is super cute but all I can pay attention to is how high those shorts are hitched up.
