I carry a few band aids in my wallet. I rotate them out every six months or so. I’ve had to use them a few times, and they’ve held up well.

Hey, this is MUCH better than improving Siri’s search capability or speech recognition! I’ll take Stupid Siri Tricks for $500 Alex!

I miss Ninfa’s. In Dallas, they all died. I’d have to travel to Waco to eat at one now.

El Fenix? Bluh! Mercado Juarez please! Or any of the thousand tacquerias around. El Fenix isn’t even Mexican, it’s Tex Mex. (So is Mercado)

Mapele & Motor? Too expensive for a mediocre burger. Go to Island Burger and save yourself $4 for just as good a burger & fries.

The rick to finding a great Chinese restaurant in Dallas? Look for the words: Chinese BBQ. That’s a good rule of thumb.

Matt’s was the best place I ate in my week in Minneapolis.

I posted about 15 choices for Dallas and Tarrant counties. Didn’t make the list here though.

Don’t neglect Russian House on 5th st!

If you’re willing to go out to Federal Way, hit Tokyo Ya for some choice ramen.

There’s a gas station up by Bachman Lake that actually has a trompo for their Al Pastor tacos. (Trompo is the Mexican word for the vertical spit that roasts meat like a gyro) I was amazed. The tacos were pretty damn good, and I had to wade through a bunch of Mexican dudes to get my tacos. That’s usually a good sign…

Well... there’s hammers sold.... a box of them show up, accounting for the $500, and all of the rest of the money just poofs into the pockets of defense contractor employees and military requisitioners...

That was the Death Knell for the Flying Dorito from GD/MD. The A-12 Avenger was a boondoggle from the get-go, partially thanks to evolving requirements.

Why incentivize? They aren’t spending their own money. They’re spending our money.

It’s very easy to spend other peoples’ money you know.

It’s always the taxpayer. Always.

Welcome to crony capitalism!

Leaky. But it’ll still be better built than the HMS Theresa May, which will be a tugboat that keeps trying to pull the island away from the European Continent.

So... the Gerald Ford essentially tripped and fell?

You think he asked? Heh.

It’s not immediately guaranteed to do so. I know that he was pretty good about buying the correct gauge needle for the insertion, and I know he used a lot of alcohol when doing it. He then put antibiotic ointment on the wounds and bandaged up for a couple of days.

He did his research and made sure that the “chips” were compatible. He has an RFID writer that he bought one drunken night from China, and any phone with NFC can program an NFC tag. He tested them both before implanting them. I can’t remember the exact part numbers he ordered, even if he went on ad-nauseum about the…

I sincerely hate being charged for something like this. It’s more convenient for both me AND the company, so it’s stupid that they’re profiting off of it.
