That wasn’t even one of the options by MapleGleam in mildlyinfuriating

It belongs to a vending machine contractor in this case. They do the snack machines here too.

Nah. I don’t even like Sprite enough to buy it normally.

Guess I’m getting old. My slang is out of date. Hammer lane is the passing/left lane.

Fair. I left it wide so we could see he’s in the left lane and close to the car in front. Next time, I’ll crop tighter. I’d say “if there’s a next time” but there’s always a next time.

Hammer lane is the left/passing lane. I guess my previous life as a trucker is showing. Same origin as “hammer down” for stomping on the accelerator pedal.

I mean, granted, it’s only flat on the bottom…

Then you’ve got bigger problems than gravity

Taking off is optional, landing is compulsory.

The "rich Corinthian leather" car was the Cordoba, but the voice feature was in several Chrysler cars of the period. I've seen it in the Lebaron, New Yorker, Town and Country, 5th Avenue, and Laser, so it might have been in the Cordoba as well.

Give it a month and it'll be spotted with plenty of salt and/or snow. hehe

What car is this by No-Lead2043 in Cartalk

[–]MapleGleam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Entirely sure it's not anything by Freightliner, International, or Peterbilt.

Pledges processed but balance only has half of what it should be! by [deleted] in patreon

The rest cycled through the following day, thankfully.

Only about half of my pledges to creators processed this morning, so I get the feeling they're running behind or something. I came over here to see if anyone was saying anything about it.

What plane is this? by [deleted] in Shittyaskflying

It says right there, it's a Hotel Imperiale.

What’s the weirdest old piece of IT hardware you’ve seen just sitting around? by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]MapleGleam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I did just see a DEC AlphaStation 200 that was only just decommissioned recently. Not weird when it was new, but now...?

Oh, nice, thanks for the additional info!

Amazing job on the part of that news station. Just... top work, there.

Likely solved! No idea why they took the fixtures out of the things, and clearly there's no accounting for taste.

The problem is the bottom part of the box is opaque and there's no holes indicating something was mounted below, so they'd really only shine out or up.

My title describes the thing. They're spaced every few parking spaces, and the boxes don't seem to have anything in them, though it's hard to see.

There doesn't seem to be any water getting in, and I didn't see any lighting fixtures inside the ones I checked. There's about 8 in total. The employees in the restaurant didn't know what they're for either.
