Our local theater tried in the 1980s, but we harassed the ticket seller so much (sorry, ticket sellers, you didn’t get paid enough for our disdain) they just dropped the effort. You’re enforcing a rule that no one cares about and should be about covering your butts in case mom and dad get upset that you saw that “Candy…

You are right on all counts. Blue Velvet is a masterpiece. I remember watching it, and my mom walking in and saying, “You do what you want, but I don’t want your sister watching this.”

Great examples. I recall ( could be misremembering the details ) that Janis Joplin wanted to be a lighter, Joni Mitchell type folk singer and even started out that way in Texas, but she said it didn’t “sell” with her voice, so she switched to rock.

Yeah, that was what I thought. In this case it actually was a tape.

So I have a Das Keyboard and a bluetooth, Keychron K2 (pictured) with some Drop keycaps that mimic the IBM beam-spring keys from long ago.

Just being from Florida?

Law in S.C. too. Wipers on-lights on. Stephen picked a winner!

... time will tell.

Would the 2007 crash have really happened if the majority of Americans were financially literate?

This is how I read it:
I believe CitronC was upset because they knew what they wanted, and the dealer wouldn’t sell them what they wanted.

I’ve seen a few Mustangs that appeared to be “overclocked” with someone you might consider unstable screaming down the highway.

Responsible move, Rory, and your transparency on the decision-making with your audience is more than admirable.

This is a joke, right? Like saying a woman has a “porn star” name even though they were given the name as a kid. If you’re going to criticize the guy, do it, but his name? Seriously. This is why some people don’t take the movement seriously.

The bigger the organization, the more incompetence you will deal with - a universal truth.

That’s actually a really good point about the costs that manufacturers offload to dealers. I think some of it also allows them to focus on things not related to selling, including manufacturing efficiencies, quality control, supply chains and R&D.

You are right on point. That’s how I learned. I had a relative who had done it many many times show me how do to it. Using the old brake pad and C-clamp just like you said. It’s really not difficult but I think having someone show you, hands-on is likely best. We ended up doing it on an old mini-van than needed new…

This is absolutely true and was my takeaway as well. I used to cover cops and courts for a local newspaper. Incident reports frequently charged people with lying to police officers. It’s a crime, and it’s not one of those “Well, sometimes we prosecute it when other issues are involved.” Lying to law enforcement is…

Finally, a police bodycam video I didn’t mind watching. Officer Harris did a good job this day (wish we got his first name), checked on the home and helped stomp out the fire.

Hey, David, any idea on how much this would cost to fix? There’s not a chance in hell that insurance would cover it, right?
