Exactly. Degree in physics, but my job title is “Product Development Engineer”. I have no degree in engineering. Also, funny thing, when I came on, my boss and I totally just made up that title, because my role is part physicist, part engineer, part industrial designer.

Where do you live where your Costco has Detroit Style pizza????

I don’t think he is…this Reuters article says he was on Bernie Sanders’ list of supporters in 2016. Unless his attitudes drastically changed in 4 years…

Whoa, George Wendt is right wing garbage?? There’s no way. Back in college, I went to a Clinton rally near the student union, where George Wendt was campaigning for him. And according to this Reuters article, George Wendt was on Bernie Sander’s list of supporters in 2016.

I can’t understand why a USPS worker ripped open a package sent to me by my sister, stole only half the dog dental chews and masks that were in it, taped it back up with USPS tape, and had it return-to-sender. But it happens. Because some people are not good people.

Oh man, I realize now that, for years, I had blocked the memory of being burned by hot metal seat belt buckles as a kid.

Just reading the start of this post, I knew what was probably going to transpire, because I watched Long Way Up.

Sadly, nope. I think we also had a game called Lemonade Stand, where you…calculated the cost of ingredients to make lemonade, and how much you should charge. What a depressing game. 

Do you remember those Flash games the cool kids used to play in computer lab with the car paint and wheel selector?

I feel the original FX looked better. Also, it had a better name. They need to just drop Johan De Nysschen’s naming scheme he brought with him from Audi, and go back to having different letters for models: G, F, I, M, Q. add an X for crossovers/SUVs. 

Well, it worked great except for in one case: if I was in the smallest chainring at the front and shifted to the smallest cog on the cassette at the back, the bike stopped working. The rear derailleur would lock up!

Volvo has the ideal demographic for this sort of car, but ignored it. And I don’t think that a new brand is a sure path to success. Didn’t work for Mercedes (Smart), or Mazda (Eunos) or many others.

I thought we were having clams.

why did i watch that tik tok video. why.

As an owner of a 2000 A4 Avant 2.8 manual…no. Just…no…unless you’re willing to put a lot of work into it to replace 20 year old components, and you have other cars to drive.

Break the honeycomb up into ¾- to 11/4-inch chunks

Due to the pandemic, the Boorito promotion (the endearing one where you show up in costume and get a $4 deal)

I don’t know, Great Danes like that are usually too scared to confront anyone. Not unless they get a special snack beforehand.

…and the pepperoni is shaved into matchstick-thin slices.

As a B5 Avant owner, this. But yeah, that’s why I bit the bullet and got a V60 CC. I was kinda over the whole “I mean, hopefully, this will start right up and be fine, and I won’t have any problems” every single day I went to work.
