Yep. Update all the internal links that were broken in all the specification documents when we changed the name of the database. Happy summer, kiddo.

Yeah, that sounds unusual. I guess it’s different if you get interns so as to hire them later or if you get interns so as to get a bunch of boring stuff done.

A five-speed Protege5 (in silver) is still the only car I ever bought new, and I would absolutely do it again. I tried to find a used one, but rust claimed most of them and I haven’t had any luck.

That was long, but yes.

The world is gone completely over the edge.

I think you have to have a decent amount of money before you reach the tier of society which permits committing the kinds of crimes that land you in federal minimum security prison.

That’s a Chinese thing; tons of brands do it over there and it is spilling over here.

Netanyahu demanded police or National Guard action, so that’s what we got.

They were only doing ethnic cleansing until then, while laying the groundwork for a genocide by denying the existence of Palestinians and also denying their humanity. They didn’t start an active genocide until October 2023.

I can just imagine the nefarious conversation:

Because of oddities in safety and emissions standards, SUVs and trucks are artificially cheap. Because of advertising and horrible roads, people think they need SUVs. The roads then suffer because of all of the additional weight of heavy vehicles (and our dependence on heavy trucking). The price of gasoline does not…

What about the Cyberquad? When is it coming?

So very very tired of restomods. They all end up looking exactly the same; I don’t believe for a second that the designers did anything aside from push a button in their AI app. Give me a flawed, warty original any day of the week.

I said default choice, not the only choice. That internet person who has to pull a boat on a trailer across a mountain with his entire extended family once a week can have Chevrolet Exurban Titan if its necessary, and he will definitely need a backup camera.

Nudism doesn’t bother me, but this cruise does. Yecchhhh.

I agree wholeheartedly - we would all be significantly better off if a subcompact hatchback was the default choice.

I did that, too, and the numbers do not add up to “having paid $50K and I have only paid off $10K”. She must have had $25K or so of negative equity...

Are there penalties for paying off car loans early? Maybe they should just make a lump sum payment and continue paying $1,400 per month for a little while longer.

Can’t wait to see playerless E-sports.
