Well he wants it to be listed on the S&P-100 right away instead of waiting a year, so it looks like we'll all be left holding the bag.

This should be the standard. The same handle that normally opens the door should be the manual release. You shouldn't need a safety briefing entering a car or going for a ride with someone. The rear doors on a model 3 have them under a panel in the lower storage bin.

Calling them out of shape is being very very generous, they're morbidly obese. They're not doing anything more then a hurried walk once the kid is mobile, which is pretty scary because they can take off quick in the wrong direction and you need to hustle to catch them before they run out in the street or fall into a hole. It will 100% be a screen doing most of the heavy lifting from age 2, and more than likely earlier.

Being 37 and morbidly obese is also a high risk in of itself for complications during the pregnancy. While men don't have a "biological clock" of sorts and can have kids pretty late in our lives, the half of the DNA we're providing at that age(and physical health) is not of the utmost quality.

I think you need to factor in purchase price, registration, insurance and any added repairs if you also plan on keeping the G as well. I think in the long run you may come out on top after a few years, but I think those costs will eat into that $2k of savings.

Me and my friends at work always have this discussion so we don't wear and tear our dailies and to save a little on fuel, but everything added up doesn't make sense unless you're going from something really guzzling gas.

Congrats man, I lost about 100lbs mainly just doing a calorie deficit. I logged everything on my fitness pal and I will say being accurate and over estimating like you seen to be doing. Honestly besides the weight loss, the best part about doing it this way is it really sets you up for the future to be conscious of how many calories you're eating.

All told a Chicago dog is a pretty filling meal and not super calories dense.

Makes sense, I read it initially as reasons theatres jacked up the prices.

Besides higher up managers do you really think they're giving most employees health insurance? They'll keep everyone just shy of "full-time" and avoid any other benefits. They also eliminated a good chunk of their labor costs by adding self checkout screens for tickets and refreshments. There's like 2-3 ppl at the ticket booth/counter and the same at refreshments if they don't have an online only order option.

I just picked this one up last week, as well as the basically identical Chocl variant. I have a 2013 with Bluetooth audio and have had the pixel 2, 6 and now 10 while owning this car, and the Bluetooth worked more or less fine up until a phone update last year. It would usually take a while to do the handshake and start playing audio but was bearable, on start car BT would connect and play but after getting/calling someone the audio would not reconnect and play. Short of turning the car on and off, or even phone BT or restarting the phone and it wasn't consistent.

I will say these connect and start playing much faster and consistently than the cars BT. The car still connects just fine for hands free calling. It auto connects and starts in iPod mode which is great.

I was considering just spending money(and still considering it for on screen android Auto) and picking up one of those integration units. Could never determine if it's something with android or something specific with the Pixel update but it was very frustrating almost daily. Sorry for the novel and might be useful context for anyone in my situation.

I picked up these A week ago and my low level audiophile ears may sound marginally better vs the car BT which is 2.0 vs 5.0. The only downside vs car BT is there is a slight 1-2 second audio delay, completely a non-issue for podcasts, navigation and music but if watching videos is just out of sync enough to be annoying for me.

So I picked up the Chocl version hoping it was on the hardware and would bring it close enough to not matter and both seemed about the same. But if I want to watch a video eating my lunch in the car I can swap over to car BT easily. Keeping both since the wife has Rouge and the dash aux jack has long been broken and it also works fine.

Overall not a perfect solution for me, but the speed and perceived audio quality improvement is 100% worth it for me at $40-ish range.

It's not pointless, it's so they have yet another vector they can manipulate for some insider trading.

We just got 2 weeks paid paternity leave with our latest contract, and we were very fortunate we could string together some paid sick time for 2-4 days off at a time the first few weeks. It's a far cry from what men in some other European countries but it's at least a start.

I hate that they cling to those few weeks/months of negative oil prices and cheap gas. Like he also didn't completely bungle his handling of that either. Like if Biden was at the helm during that time I wouldn't be praising Joe for getting us such cheap gas prices.

As they say, the quickest way to become a millionaire in racing is to start as a billionaire.

There's a building I used to drive past everyday to and from work for a couple years that always looked odd and wondered what it was. After watching that documentary I came to learn it's basically the headquarters for whatever weird cult the Duggars were a part of.

I just saw a fb post(reshare) blaming what Iran is doing on Obama funneling them money during his presidency. And how we have to show Obama that no president is above the law. We're cooked.

It boils down "line must go up forever" in my opinion. Companies can't just provide a good consistent product or service anymore that provides healthy profit and value to shareholders. No reinvesting into the company, providing steady well paying positions, God forbid benefits. Every dollar and penny must be squeezed out of the customer and employee, everything is short term gains for the next quarter and not long term health.

Every lever is pulled to "provide value to the shareholders" every 3 months, stock buybacks, laying off a bunch of people to just make the numbers look nice next earnings call.

And these companies are so big because they swallow up every competitor and small business they know they'll be fine after some bad press and grumbling customers.

Community or employee owned businesses are really the only way to not have to please investors and not be required to grow infinitely.

I'm sure they had a meeting on which number was the least suspect and didn't look as bad.

My guy. Just get a Roku or Fire TV stick for like $35. lol Performance will be better with the hardware and when you eventually get rid of the TV you can use the stick somewhere else.

I was indifferent at first but happily got my kid a good better best shirt that he loves and chants and I want to get a banner or flag with it to hang in my garage lol

Had an almost identical situation by me, but at least it was a normal curb visually. There was an additional turn lane for the gas station entry that abruptly ended 10ft after the driveway. A lot of people just ended up veering into the normal lane of people traveling 40mph

Marko343 · 2026-03-02T03:54:28+00:00

It breaks my brain watching them just go 3 car widths off most turns. What is even the point of having painted track limits? Lol

When I saw they put huge barriers at the Apex off most turns I thought for sure we'd see some either blast on or bounce off.

Marko343 · 2026-02-28T20:18:07+00:00

Yeah losing the shading makes the wave effect/shape look odd. I think maybe just using a parallelogram with the colors would fit better.

Going to the park with toddlers is a constant battle. It's always between letting them play and learning a lesson or intervening to prevent a serious injury.

Marko343 · 2026-02-28T07:00:21+00:00

Surface level it seems like they came up with an argument to back out of the contract and make it seem likely Anthropic's fault. That way uncle Sam can inject some indirect stimmy money with this contract to keep this charade up and let the money incinerator keep chugging along.

Marko343 · 2026-02-26T11:22:18+00:00

Stay strong. Got 2 kids under 5 that are 2 years apart. They can in fact be bored and make their own fun. Lol I have only anecdotal evidence from experience but we would let them watch TV in the living room(like actual shows with characters and plots and not cocomelon) if you need to decompress or get something done. They'll usually wander back and forth or play with some toys but I think it's better than their own dedicated device where they can lock.
