Taking a job in Florida huh and acting like one before even getting there!

I used to do work like this. we had a guy at the docks that would call when a container ship full of TV/VCR combos would come in, he would tell me what truck and what highway it was on

Always sounded a bit like an inside job. There’s a train that tends to park right across the road I need to use to get to work. In the 10 minutes that train is parked, if I ran out and opened a 2-3 containers, I’m sure I would find a life time supply of pencil sharpeners, an assload of laxatives, a couple reams of…

Also found this twitter thread to be informative.

Union Pacific: lays off security and doesnt lock doors

From “Bitchin Camaro”. Pertinent...

The thing with Challengers is the owners REALLY like them. It’s kind of the Tommy Bahama of cars.

but only because it is so old that it predates the microchip.

That and the fact that Tesla only has one US car factory. The other guys are making multiple models in multiple factories. Everything Tesla sells in the US as well as some of its international sales comes from that one factory.

1st Gear: Isn’t this just because of shortages though?

Of course, all these upgrades come with a cost. The Bronco Raptor starts at $69,995, over $20,000 higher than a base Wildtrak. With both trim levels targeted at the high-speed “desert running” market, buyers could be faced with a tough choice: Is the added power and suspension travel worth that much added cost?

I still can’t believe this is how it looks from the factory.  It looks like aftermarket flares were added to a regular Bronco.  I would’ve thought Ford could come up with something that looks more integrated.

As I remember, he’s talked about Sam and Max with Pixar folks, but either he alone or they both decided that Sam and Max’s, ahem, “moral ambiguity” doesn’t really fit in with the kinds of stories that Pixar produces, hehe.

I’d love more Star Wars if they could just get the hell off Tatooine and/or Jaaku. 

Exactly. This is like bitching Marvel studios is only gonna make comic book movies. That is literally what they are suppose to do.

I’d say more Sam & Max stuff, but I’m not sure who owns that now given the (rather disappointing) Telltale games of a decade ago.

Maybe they’ll start making some LucasArts movies, like Monkey Island.

Make more Star Wars, only make less of it, and what you do make, make better.

Who are we to say what he does with what he bought?
