Drove a brand new base Mustang in Hawaii recently and I was honestly shocked at how good it was. Interior, ride, acceleration, steering feel and handling, fuel economy. It’s a Good Car. Too bad about its reputation, or rather its drivers’.

McDonald’s double cheeseburger is the perfect driving burger, or go old school and just get two plain hamburgers like it’s the 1980s. The QPC is also solid except lately they’ve had too much ketchup, which always ends up on my shirt.

I mean, it’s an Alfa. I know what that entails! I really thought about getting a Karmann Ghia (I’m more of a VW guy, currently on my 4th) because I’d love to have another clacker, but dear god the prices these days! Even beetles are insane. Maybe a squareback?

My Alfa GTV6’s clutch was stuck. This is actually a pretty common problem and normally not a huge deal, although annoying. Some revving and engine braking on jack stands can usually break the disc free. In my case, nothing would work. Weeks of trying every technique in the book short of live animal sacrifice. The…

Legend of Zelda... Ganon might not be the final boss... Legend of Zelda... Final Boss... Zelda... Ganon... Boss... *drool slap scratch* Ooh, ice cream fountain in my bathroom!

We (my 12 and 10 yr-old daighters, wife, me) REALLY enjoyed Nimona, although my older daughter was disappointed it strayed from the source material to make it a little more family-friendly and the characters more sympathetic. And the kids got the message about the fluidity of self-identity. Good stuff.

When was the last time a Wes Anderson film made sense as an actual story? Royal Tenenbaums?

When was the last time McDonald’s used one of the classic characters??? My kids don’t even know who Ronald McDonald is.

Cool. Guess where we’re going in 2 weeks.

Having spent my career thus far in the public sector... government employees, even high-ranking ones, are just as capable of being batshit crazy as your Drunk Uncle rex.

Part of the problem is remote work - I’m being scheduled for meetings with people in a different, or multiple different time zones that will literally consume my lunch hour. Part of the problem is fear of appearing lazy. Part of the problem is this Musk-ian notion that success means working non-stop for 18 hours a…

This game is all about using every tool you have as creatively as possible. There’s no “cheesing” or exploiting - that’s how the game was intended to be played. Be smart, be creative. Mashing buttons is what Super Smash Bros. is for. 

Many moons ago I did an SCCA driver instruction course. I still follow those instructions to this day, and yes, they jibe with what’s provided in this video.

The original is still some of the most fun I’ve ever had with a video game, just swinging all over NYC.

Of all the asshole corporations that exist in the universe, Warner Brothers/Discovery/Satan is the assholiest.

Wanted to watch the Parts Unknown Hawaii episode last night. We’d originally watched the show on CNN, so I started there, but couldn’t get ANY episodes to load. Quick search - it’s on HBO Max. Cool. We have that. Oops. They only have the first season for whatever reason? The reason? Discovery has another streaming…

What sort of educator, at any level, would conduct this experiment and see 100% of their students “fail” and not have the intellectual curiosity to conclude, “That’s pretty fucking weird,” and not conduct further tests. Like upload your own original work, or some other unpublished piece, or even something famous (Hey…

When you realize you can buy a 6-pack of the local boutique brewery hazy IPA for the same price as a single beer + tax and tip... Yeah. 

I work with mostly young millenaisl and Gen Z’ers. We usually eat lunch together in the break room and just talk. Topic yesterday was GoG 3 and MCU.

The trick to eating at home is to be creative with ingredients. Buy a whole head of cabbage, a bunch of carrots, some garlic, frozen veggies like peas and okra, potatoes and onions, a few pounds of dried beans, a whole chicken, and you have $50 of groceries but at least distinct family meals.
