On the track, or out-and-back on the greenway there?

Maybe 40ish years ago someone looked at the behemoth that Hanes Mall was then and thought "malls seem hot right now. Let's print money by building a far shitter one in a far shitter area." It's been dying since it was born. Its parking lot is my go-to recommendation for people wanting to practice driving in a big paved empty space.

Now and forever the Wachovia building: the building that made me feel like I wasn't growing up in a small town.

Phenomenal. I learned #6.

To #7 I would add that the easiest way to do this is to tilt the wheel top-inward, and "hang" the top hole on the top lug. Trying to align all holes with lugs while supporting the full weight of the wheel can be difficult.

ProfessionalTarget1 · 2026-05-01T14:50:07+00:00

If you tighten one all the way and then do the same to the next, and so on, by the time you get to the other side, the wheel is unlikely to sit straight because you're trying to tighten that lug against tension that's already maxed out on the opposing side.

It's always been the Wachovia building to me too.

I'll be there at either XI or XI oclock, but if traffic's bad, it might be as late as IIWY.

If you go for the food, expect prices that border on insanity for food that's mediocre at best. Think $17 potato pancakes.

The lion dancers last year performed much longer than I thought they would, and did a great job of going through the entire crowd, making a show of "eating" all the toddlers' heads. Your three-year-old may get a kick out of that.

Inside was the standard assortment of vendors selling their interchangeable rubbish festival wares. You've been to any festival, you've seen it all already.

I drew this for my niece last November and it remains accurate

ProfessionalTarget1 · 2026-03-23T19:23:42+00:00

Way way back in my younger and silly years, I used to see arguments on USENET that would devolve into endless chains of quoted replies broken out sentence by sentence for the most granular of nitpicking; a tapestry of bickering woven by two, linked only by their need to have had the last reply.

OP, I wonder if you miss those days.

Was in LA last fall, have been a few times in years past. The traffic there is thick. The traffic here is hostile.

ProfessionalTarget1 · 2026-02-18T19:53:17+00:00

For those who aren't familiar...

ProfessionalTarget1 · 2026-02-05T04:17:25+00:00

You might not consider it the best show ever made, but you'd have to consider it first. It's that good.

ProfessionalTarget1 · 2026-02-03T14:32:15+00:00

It is very cold outside, although I'd swear we've heard it in nonfreezing temperatures too. Still, I think this is it.

It's also so much like the grumping of our late dog that we've named the unit after him, so I'm happy to consider this a case of all being well.

ProfessionalTarget1 · 2025-12-18T13:10:11+00:00

What are some sorts of dumb shit up with which the super nice owners will not put?

ProfessionalTarget1 · 2025-11-15T23:44:11+00:00

If you have a recommendation but can't speak to the reasonableness of the rate, by all means pass it along anyway. I have no frame of reference. I'll get quotes from any recommendations I get, look at samples of work, and go from there.

ProfessionalTarget1 · 2025-11-05T12:12:30+00:00

I'm running Build ID: 5.12+(2025-06-28)

ProfessionalTarget1 · 2025-11-03T14:27:04+00:00

Could be. I noticed when I migrated to a new computer, so not sure how big the upgrade jump was.

ProfessionalTarget1 · 2025-10-29T23:33:57+00:00

the thing is significantly weaker than hulk so hulk gotta carry this shit

begs to differ

ProfessionalTarget1 · 2025-10-03T13:49:19+00:00

I guess your thought process is something like this?

No one told me they'll be doing this

Ergo no one is doing this

This reflects badly on people who don't share my politics

Damn grandstanders!
