Damn - that 70's arcade game was the first thing that came to mind! Great memories. I killed a lot of hours playing that.

Pastor Maldonado is in town!

Yes - all too often the goalie stops the puck but doesn’t know where it actually is because pucks move around a lot and there are lots of places for it to hide. I’ve seen then get inside jerseys, stuck behind legs, even into the skates.

The best part is Murray Walker’s reaction.

Yes - I almost posted that one too. I love how Ayrton had a “0 fucks given” attitude for crashing Prost out of the race.

What about these web sites stealing my bandwidth from all of the fucking ads and auto-play videos? That counts too. Goes both ways.

No shit Sherlock - just ask Senna and Prost back from this 1989 classic in Suzuka:

Could make a nice hotel, like the one near Arlanda airport near Stockholm.

I did a multi-day hike to Glen Aulin in Yosemite and I took a bit too much gear. Some of it wasn’t needed, and I use this as data for the next trip so I know what to ditch. Items that come to mind:
1) My JetBoil was a hit, as we cooked breakfast with it. It’s the first-gen model and still cooks like no ones business.
2)…

Well done!

Reminds of of a joke from the Unix “fortune” program:
“It’s been determined that research causes cancer in rats”

Nope - no one pays attention to them any more because they’re so overused and useless.

For me, it’s Cuban-spiced pork tenderloin.

I was thinking that too, given that the PE firm was outside of their industry. Depends on the terms which I don’t know obviously, but I would’ve thought that their current/previous investors (who are deeply well known throughout their industry) would’ve come up with some of the money. Without any specifics I can only…

I can vouch for Aukey, which I use everywhere. They charge a lot faster than the slow as shit Apple chargers (perhaps they have a faster charging model?) and you can charge two devices on it to boot. The prongs also fold inside so it’s easier for storage.

Only 2 cars? That’s an every day things here in SF on our Bart and Muni subway cars. That doesn’t include elevators and escalators which are always down for maintenance to remove urine and feces. Yes, escalators - it’s that bad here.

Spot on - I have but one star to give.

I worked at a startup company that recently got a ton of funding from a PE firm. None of the current/former investors gave them more money, which is a very bad sign. I hope they make it because their product is good, but I figure they’re going to end up getting bought at a fire sale.

Shot on about Burj Khalifa. Save your money, hit the Armani lounge instead for a similar view. Wild Wadi was a lot of fun, worth a go.
 
I enjoyed the Dubai Mall, and the dancing fountains were a nice show. I even had a nice dinner seat outside while watching them.
