Taking the hangers to a dry cleaners often works, although sometimes I get the feeling that they are just going to dump them in the trash as soon as I leave.

Um what? If you’re not doing Stow and Go, you’re doing minivan wrong.

Cutting those kinds of friends and family out of my life would be the hardest part of being rich.

The question is whether they were using the same road book as the Dakar competitors, which requires a fair bit of orienteering, or if they’re using more detailed pace notes.

In case you are still interested in how navigation is done in the Dakar, here is a Steam Guide from the Dakar 18 game that really does a good job showing what is required: How to navigate the Dakar without co-driver

They do the navigation from a road book which contains directions presented in shorthand and diagrams. The Dakar navigation is much different than WRC.

I'm 66 and so was driving all through the 70s and I don't really have any shortage stories. I lived in Florida most of the time and it wasn't very often that you even saw much of a line. I do remember a time in Daytona Beach when the stations along the main drags did get significant lines, but since I was going to…

I believe those would be copies of the Ordnance Surveys.

I’m really jealous. At my house I only hear dog barks and shitty 90's music.

So they shoot it with a bullet...

So.... it sounds like it’s exactly a failure of management.

Without the capsule, Falcon is not aerodynamically stable in that direction of flight, especially with a dummy second stage still attached, so it began spinning.

After the Dragon separated from the rest of the rocket, the remaining stages were destabilized and eventually exploded

This might be the point you sound like an old man yelling at clouds.

“Crunch is a failure in management. They didn’t adequately plan enough time for a realistic scope and now they’re making the workers grind their health and life into dust so that our pixels look pretty enough.”

Fans can wait. Investors cannot.

I just know that for me, Patch Tuesday is always preceded by Activate “Pause updates for 7 days” Monday.

So, you spent the money on a rapidly-depreciating asset? That was a guarateed loss of the money rather than a speculative one.

That would assume that your intended wanted the ring as a temporary investment that she planned on hocking after a while. Not very romantic in my eyes, but YMMV. My soon to be wife was in greater need of a good set of wheels than a piece of compressed carbon.
