Also Hubble. That hasn't been exactly worthless.

The sad fact of it is that Donald Trump is the candidate that we deserve. An ignorant, slovenly, not-as-rich-as-he-says-he-is, loudmouth asshole. He’s the embodiment of every one of our country’s worst qualities.

I got blocked from direct commenting for linking to a clip from Animal House around the time of the UVA thing. The clip was of Belushi smashing the folk singers guitar on the stairs. I'm not even sure if the person who banned me is even a contributor anymore.

I wish that we could run these debates like a quiz show with real time 3rd party fact check. Say something that's not categorically true, and a huge buzzer goes off like on Family Feud. Then a hook comes out and drags you offstage.

If this game were anything like real architecture, you’d only be able get actual work done on weekends and holidays, and you’d reach 90% design milestone only to have to re-design the whole thing due to client revisions. And your MEP consultant would be an insufferable asshole who was always on his boat, and your…

Usually, I would say no, but I happened upon a lovely bar bonnet at the Museum of Natural History gift shop, and I simply had to have it. Follow me on IG and SC if you want to see it! The sales associate, Watermelondrea, was delightful.

Good thing her fiancé wasn’t this guy ...

Good point. I guess the frustration that we have recently is the fact that almost everyone we deal with is lying about their ability to meet schedule, based on decades worth of layoffs of belt-tightening. Everyone has learned that you have to say yes in order to get the work, and then you negotiate your ability to…

“Heads up: it’s critical for us to make deadlines so that the overall project gets done on time. Are these due dates working for you?”

First Gear:

Are we still going with the official story that O’Neill killed Bin Laden as part of a well organized raid? I thought that there was some additional information that had come to light that the raid was a complete shit show with Bin Laden basically being riddled with bullets, and no one really knowing whether there was…

That's good advice- I'll look into it.

I do!

How did this not get filed to "Florida Man"?

That was the problem- the 2014 only had roof glass on the SL and platinmum, otherwise we would have gone SV. It's an enormous amount of glass, too. The kids love it, although we did have to close it a few times over the summer.

Oh wait ... now I’m embarrassed. We have the SL, but without the tech/nav, because we wanted the roof glass. Not sure how I confused the trim ... Idk, my wife drives it daily. I only get to visit it on nights and weekends!

We have the SV - we love the interior. The step-up height is a bit much for my 5 yo, but otherwise it's great.

I’m not sure what “most minvans” means, but Edmunds rates a Honda Odyssey and Nissan Quest at 22 MPG combined, and the Pathfinder at 23 MPG combined. We all know to take fuel economy numbers with a grain of salt, so 1 or 2 points in either direction is basically a wash in my mind. My point was simply that the economy…
