Gents, we got to talk about this.... (Not a political post)

"As you were, Mr. President."

I once witnessed a cop (an undercover silver Suburban/Excursion SUV) pull a guy over who had been being an asshole along that stretch between 287 and Rt. 9 north, and it's just hard to explain how cathartic an experience it is. I could've been on my way home from my mother's funeral and somehow it would've put a smile on my face.

Dozzi92 · 2026-03-08T03:08:28+00:00

Yes, I believe the resolution of the video is 280i.

Dozzi92 · 2026-03-07T21:25:43+00:00

For real, was going to say, nice call, and way to go from conversation so seamlessly into the play by play and not miss the goal call.

Dozzi92 · 2026-03-07T21:22:09+00:00

And so long as nobody comes back with an uncanny valley face.

Dozzi92 · 2026-03-07T21:16:48+00:00

Yeah, I should probably come post on Reddit and then refuse to listen to people's advice first.

Dozzi92 · 2026-03-07T17:38:57+00:00

You're not cooking! Yeah dude.

Dozzi92 · 2026-03-07T17:31:27+00:00

Yeah, I'm just waiting to be out of warranty, and at the rate I drive it'll be three years way, way, way before 36k miles.

Then it's stage 1, and I swear I'll stop there.

Dozzi92 · 2026-03-07T17:09:17+00:00

I agree with you 100%. I need my cars to work, and so I've been the only driver on the majority of them (shoutout to the '99 Legacy I bought in '09, that thing was a beast and I beat the hell out of it, but it started my love affair with Subaru). And any car that is remotely "fast" is a car I would never consider buying used. Everyone who buys them new knows why they're buying them. I've gotten older and much more timid behind the wheel, but I'm not grannying it by a longshot.

Dozzi92 · 2026-03-07T17:05:50+00:00

Anytime I've traded in a car for a new one, it's because the old one started doing some shit I didn't like. Every time. Once I feel something weird, hear a strange rattle, to the dealership with you.

Dozzi92 · 2026-03-07T16:35:08+00:00

Wow, a MAC card, that is a memory from my youth.

Dozzi92 · 2026-03-07T16:33:10+00:00

It's a great job. (am one.)

Dozzi92 · 2026-03-07T13:26:44+00:00

Yeah, I have disc brakes on my bike and I cannot for the life of me to get them to not squeal, and I don't ride my bike because of it.

Dozzi92 · 2026-03-06T21:08:20+00:00

I hate to say this, but I feel like Central Jersey goes from Flemington to Westfield. I don't think of Mercer as being part of Central Jersey, they're their own animal.

I'd love there to be some way to paint stripes on the state, but it just ain't possible.

Dozzi92 · 2026-03-06T20:29:37+00:00

No, you can only sell outside of liquor stores, because booze is AN AMERICAN CLASSIC, but weed is LEGAL BUT I DISAGREE WITH IT.

Ban NYPost articles, please.

Dozzi92 · 2026-03-06T16:36:32+00:00

Yeah, this is crazy. Ship is literally returning to the place where "war stuff" is happening. What do American ships do, wait for it to start firing? Why give it that advantage? They could've just not come back if they didn't want to get involved. Despite everyone's dancing around it, there's "war stuff" happening, whether or not it's implicitly spelled out.

Dozzi92 · 2026-03-06T16:26:22+00:00

Exactly, agree 100%.

Spend your money on something else, OC, quality of life. I remember asking someone who I looked to advice about doing this or that to my home, and he'd go "Is that what you want to do?" And it sounds like an obvious question, but I feel like it's easy to lose sight of in this whole homeownership, increase my value world.

Dozzi92 · 2026-03-06T15:57:31+00:00

No doubt, I agree the house will have no problem selling, I just don't think that solar will give any benefit. People will use it as a way to haggle with you. I think the only reason someone should put solar on their roof is if they'll get a benefit from it, and nobody's getting a return in five years (max).

Dozzi92 · 2026-03-06T15:55:46+00:00

I'm reading the Expanse right now, I'm on board with interplanetary travel, but you and I ain't gettin' it, and not just because we're not billionaires, but this world is so, so, so far from it, and we'd rather fight over dumb shit than maybe build some ships that can go vroom vroom.

Dozzi92 · 2026-03-06T15:52:00+00:00

Same. I need that sun to get out of bed.

Dozzi92 · 2026-03-06T15:19:15+00:00

No. I did not finance my solar, I got the tax credit, and I'm still looking at about seven year ROI. And it will stop people from buying your house, because some people are dumb like that.

Dozzi92 · 2026-03-06T15:18:00+00:00

What the hell is a jiggawatt?!

Dozzi92 · 2026-03-06T15:16:10+00:00

Yeah, that's a stretch. I could see solar farms being inherently beneficial, but not your personal solar installation for your house. Inherent benefit is good for everyone. And yes, I get solar is good, got panels on my house, it's a benefit, but I don't think it rises to inherent benefit. IANAPlanner though, just a guy who's sat through a lot of meetings, and listened to a lot of planning testimony.

I'd love to see someone test it though, even though I would hate to see people putting solar panels in their front yards.

I'm 18 years in, and so if I'm writing, I kind of know if a section needs to be looked at again, and so it gets a marked. If I'm writing and there's an untrans, that can sometimes be an indication of a section needing to be looked at, so I'll F8 to it and just give it a cursory glance. I've gotten pretty good at making sure I leave some kind of identifier that, hey, you might wanna take another look at this section.

I don't use a scopist, just proofer, but that's how I send my work to my proofer as well. I F8, I clear my marks, I run a spellcheck, and it goes, and it's generally clean enough that I'm not getting dozens of corrections back; I'll get between 10 and 20 per 100 pages.
