I’m kind of a fan of the Boeing Starliner, but I’m not even sure it works yet. But you’re right about the space shuttle. I grew up watching that thing, and thought it was cool as a kid, but even though it launched in 1981, it was really old tech even then. It was very expensive. Not very efficient. I think The New…

... or perhaps they do.

One of the listings mentioned a setup, and that can make a playable guitar extremely good. There’s only so much you can do for a bad guitar, but it’s easy to find a good guitar for very little money these days.

That was one of the most disturbing parts of this story. Because he thought he was soooooooo right that he would video his acts of self-righteous racism, and he thought that also would be valued. I’m trying to have hope, but details like this make it feel elusive.

You might not be wrong, but “Unacceptably Dry Scones” isn’t wrong either. Many HOAs can and do foreclose on property and sell them out from under the owners.

I have to agree. Michael also is a really good writer who interlaces biting humor with his biting commentary. It makes the medicine go down a little easier.

Love you, Jason. This was just the best.

I wonder what’s worse: Literal Nazis or figurative Nazis? Maybe we should do a poll.

In my experience, HR departments have one job: To protect the company and limits its legal exposure. Doesn’t make them unusual or evil, but it’s not a bad to thing to know this. They also answer that odd question about your 401(k) too ... which is helpful.

That’s what it sounds like he said, but I suspect he meant that he would have acted the same way the pastor acted given the same circumstances. That is, he would have pulled his concealed weapon to protect himself and then would have called the police.

Looks like Verizon.

Shockingly, they made the PT Cruiser look worth of my clicks.

I know what you’re saying, and it’s a well-made point, but it’s not always your choice.

Yup, when I bought my first WRX, I was looking for used. I found price for a new one was around the same price as the used market was for a model that three years older. Since this was 2016, the older WRX was MUCH older because of Subaru launching the redesign.

Isn’t octane about compression ratio and combustibility? The higher the number, the less combustible the gas, meaning you can compress it more and get more power from the resulting highly-compressed explosion. Meaning 87 is more combustible than 93?

Understood! I figured there was a reason, and that’s a very good one.

I wish my sister was named Rebel. I don’t have a brother, but Karol sounds like he could hold his own. Reminds me of that Johnny Cash song.

Yeah that’s a good question. They called me a variation of my middle name ... sort of. I have to think they likely disagreed on what to name me, and this was their compromise. I really need to ask my dad, who is still living.

This is very interesting, but you gotta give us the name, please!? Did I miss it?

Good on you taking responsibility. I don’t think Americans want perfection. We just want responsibility. It’s not about blame. It’s about responsibility (in case you missed the “R” word). If you mess one up, say you messed one up, and move on. That means I can actually trust what you say. That’s how it works.
