That’s what that “Decline” button is for. I’m totally ruthless about managing my schedule and regularly refuse to go to meetings that conflict with my lunch or other meetings I’m in. I had a colleague that didn’t quite understand Outlook and when I’d decline, they weren’t able to figure it out.

Oh, God. Work travel is the worst.

I work remotely and a few people manage my schedule for me. They just look for openings and park meetings in them. I kept getting scheduled straight through from like 10 to 4 without having an opportunity to eat lunch. That’d leave me all hangry and a horrible person.

I can attest that it’s great for post bicycling rides, but during or before a ride it just makes me feel lazy and lethargic. That’s fine if we’re out just doodling around the neighborhood, but for actual endurance training it’s a disaster. Cotton mouth is tough when you’re only carrying 60oz of fluids on a…

I believe we’re talking with someone who only sees guns as a weapon. Too bad, huh. Judging by the comments, I’m going with vegan.

Gonna disagree with you. My brother is a deer hunter. He’ll go hunting, shoot a deer and feed his family for the entire winter with it. He’s not wealthy, so getting out of buying protein for 6 months makes a major difference in his life.

I hope that’s sarcasm.

Because in those places, where hunting makes the first day of deer season a local holiday, guns are important. If the voters can’t find much difference between the two, they’ll vote for the one that won’t fuck with their guns.

I love Ms. Warren and she makes great points, but she really needs a public speaking coach if she wants to move forward. I’d endorse her heartily.

Are you shitting me? The guy that wrote this couldn’t be bothered to vote?

Or they were busy covering the Trump gaffe du jour. It was like there were two types of coverage being used during the campaign. On one hand, we had the ongoing circus of the Trump campaign, which was rarely focused on things I’d actually vote on and more about what kind of crazy shit fell out of his brain that day.…

The sad thing is that the people voting for Trump are the same people who have consistently supported the Republicans that killed their unions and broke their income and employment.

Not leaving. We have work to do. #notleaving

People often wonder why BMW and MB are so different, but I think it’s because BMW has motorcycles as their other product line and MB has heavy trucks as their other product line.

Very true. As a guy that’s been riding Honda motorcycles for 40+ years, getting off of my 98 VFR and into our 97 Prelude really highlighted the similarities between the two. Refined controls. Not the best at any one thing, but pretty damn good at just about everything. High build quality. Easy to operate and as…

Spot on. Deming was the influence that helped Toyota in particular to build to extraordinary levels of quality - a tradition that continues. Statistical measurement and an understanding of the difference between perfect and perfect enough to sell was his true insight.

The big differentiator for Honda and, for that matter, all the Japanese manufacturers was that they understood the concept of value. Things like an FM radio, a right side mirror and nice upholstery were all items you had to pay for from the Americans and the Germans.

My wife and I treat cooking as a team event. I work the knives and cleaning, while she works the recipe’s ingredients and does the fire parts.

Bluetooth allows you to connect to things. Printers, BT enabled storage devices like your phone, headsets, speakers and other peripherals. It is possible to connect to those things without joining a network. Wifi will connect you to a network where you’ll need to enter network credentials to join.

Either kind of phone. If you’re calling from work, you’re probably on a local phone system and metadata about the call will be recorded, just like on your phone bill. Same for your cell.
