I thoroughly enjoyed the series.

Go read some of the legitimate horrors working class folks deal with on r/antiwork. Some is petty and immature ranting, some are straight up human rights violations.

Waiting for this to turn op on /r/antiwork.

Also noteworthy the owner of the mansion is a friend of Donald J. Trump, who appointed him as ambassador to Sweden. He’s also a co-founder of Paypal.

Aspects of this sound downright Existenz...

I’m glad I live in a neighborhood and know my neighbors. We created a spreadsheet of pretty much every expensive or specialty tool we own and share it via Google docs. If someone needs a door mortiser or a tie rod remover, we just go to the doc, find the person who has it, and text them.

As if we need another example of why capitalism is a fucked system.

Exactly. And also precisely the language so much training literature uses.

LOADS of people, including my driver’s ed teacher in high school. I know what they mean is to countersteer (ie opposite lock). It seems like it means the exact opposite of what’s actually meant, and it’s just terrible advice because I know people who have done just what they thought it meant.

“If you start to spin, turn into the spin.”

Maybe I’m just so old that I remember watching the old Incredible Hulk and even Spider-Man TV shows, but I get the same sort of vibe from Hawkeye... which is great. I love the old school sleuthing angle, the buddy/mentor relationship (and my wife is THRILLED there’s not a sexualized component of Kate & Clint’s…

My mother in law ended up in the hospital after not washing the plastic egg container that came with her fridge... like forever. She’d never washed it. Didn’t put shells back into it, but the buildup of gunk gave her an almost fatal case of salmonella.

A friend’s wife has one of those awful Chevy Cruz turbos with the gimpy head design that mulched itself a few weeks ago. He’s been trying to DIY repair the head (new valves, which are at the moment unobtanium), then sell the thing to get something newer and more reliable, and in the meantime she’s been driving his old…

Not that crazy.

Call me crazy...

I’m not going to say the decisions made by the team bosses didn’t affect the outcome, but those decisions were also made on an understanding of the written rules of the sport, at least on Mercedes’ part. When those rules were arbitrarily abandoned, their entire strategy was bust. Red Bull rolled the dice and came up…

For my sensibilities, it’s all just trying too hard for me to enjoy it. All of these hows are constantly screaming, “WATCH THIS! Hey. HEY!!! Watch THIS!!!” It’s not fun or enjoyable for me.

I think Mercedes’ argument is that if the rules had been followed then the lapped cars between Lewis and Max would have essentially negated the advantage of his fresh tires, even with blue flags. Knowing the rules, they opted to leave Lewis out on old tires. It’s the arbitrary and irregular decision to allow just…

Is it just me or do they bear more than a passing resemblance to a Lancia Delta?

The basic argument he’s making is that he doesn’t make food, he makes art, and if you come to his restaurant expecting to eat food, that’s on you, because once again, he doesn’t make things to fill your tummy, he makes art. Because he’s an artist. Even though he’s a chef. But not a chef who makes food. No. Oh no. That…
