Veneers might be applied by hand, but it’s probably a relatively simple operation. Clean, apply adhesive, roll on veneer, clamp with mold. Milling isn’t entirely done by machines - you still need to set up the wood on the machine, set up the machine itself, load programs, make sure you have the right tools, etc. I’m…

I find it humorous that you’re making this “reply” to David Tracy.

1st: Meh. It’s kinda redundant, no one’s going to design an airplane just for the U.S. Closes the door on the potential for oddball cases that might, but it’s really just a formality.

Things like this are the reason I read even the “serious” Torch articles.

In my boredom over these past few months, I’ve been tempted to make lobster thermidor aux crevettes with a Mornay sayce, garnished with truffle pate, brandy and a fried egg on top, and Spam. Except due to allergies I’d have to substitute something for the lobster and crevettes.

I can’t imagine the anguish they went though, being tortured with the comfy chair.

“90 percent of pre-pandemic levels early next year” sound good.

There is a distinction between the batteries being between two South Korean companies, and the proposed Bombardier tariff being Boeing pushing the Trump administration to protect American interests. There were very strong special interests involved on Boeing’s side, not sure who would be pushing in favor of LG here…

Depending on how upstate, and where you cross the border, you’ll be in Trump/anti-Cuomo territory and should be fine.

Versa or Spark.

I test drove a Prime. Maybe it was low expectations, but I was actually pleasantly surprised.

Eventually you just tune it out. Which makes the purpose questionable in the first place, but at least it stops being annoying.

The Prime also, depending on how the rebates are still in force, has a pretty low cost of ownership. Had I ended up buying a new compact car a few years back, it would’ve ended up being top choice as pretty much a pure commuter car. Instead I ended up going to used mid-size, and got a 6.

Listen, if you don’t like it, you can leave.

I test drove one a few years back. It gets the benefits of being a smaller car, and having a motor powerful enough to move it on its own. Overall it actually drove pretty decently.

They say you should write what you know...

My brother had an...’86?...MR2 for a little while that I borrowed for a couple months between him getting a new car and selling that one. Can confirm that more tail happy = better. When it’d snow, I’d just turn the wheels in the parking lot and spin in place to get pointed at the exit.

A nice, Reliant automobile.

I’m sorry, we’re putting “consumer’s confidence in flying” as the main governing factor of how air travel works in this country?
