They’re going to try to curl it off the road? Not paint over it (in, say, black or gray...), but worry at it with brushes in hopes of encouraging it to fade away slightly faster?!?

For the record, I really really mind that a CEO makes 200× what a janitor makes.

That feels... unrelated? Good for him, though. I was referring more to his tendency to get caught on tape saying the conspiracy bits out loud, when you’re normally supposed to keep those secret.

I actually thought that was Philip Michael Thomas on the deck, for a second.

They could name them George and Gracie.

The performance review that led to that raise and bonus specifically referenced the fact that “Don Sanders is no longer working for BNSF” and the reduction in slow orders.

Also the bubble level was not level

Re: #4, weirdly the convert-numbers-to-english feature only works with whole numbers. Add a decimal component, or a fraction, and it suddenly can’t make heads or tails of it. So 173232934 does work, but somehow 173232934.1 blows its fragile little mind. (I tried 173232934½ just to be a jerk, really. But — as expected,…

On the topic of Zero bikes, I’m slightly concerned that their website’s “cypher” section, in touting the “innovative cypher features” introduced with their newer Zero SR model, is currently claiming this:

Re: Slide 11, a Boston Whaler is nice, but you think those Duck Boats ever get sold off used? Best of both worlds, and you can drive it right into the garage under its own power!

Maybe they’ll toss them on top of all the Atari 2600 E.T. game carts.

Let this be your reminder that even Forbes looked at the notion that a company’s primary responsibility is to maximize shareholder value, and declared that “The Dumbest Idea In The World”.

To complicate things further, Collider does actually use the word “random” in their piece... but in their case it’s referring to the NUMBER of discs subscribers may receive, rather than the selection of titles. So, it’s confusing wording all ‘round.

#TIL that you can buy actual Scooby Snacks to eat. I don’t want to, but my life experience is richer for now knowing that I could.

Don’t disclaim. I’m 48, and trust me, 1997 was a lifetime ago. Actually I think it was more like two of my lifetimes ago. It’s been a very, very long time since then, in both video game time and just in... like... “reality”. (So-called.)

Already regretting not writing “autonomish”.

A friend just bought a 2023 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid (after a 50MPH highway collision totaled his Prius — with a human driver at the wheel; but to its credit the car came through like a champ and sacrificed its front end to keep the occupants alive)... the Sonata has a cool feature where it can parallel-park itself.…
