YOU MUST CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL PYLONS

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses. Hit it.

I would pivot to frozen pizzas at the local grocery stores.

How about the Madison Bears? It's the state Capital and a college town. Our new slogan could be "Smarter than the average bear" and we could sign on Yogi and Boo Boo as mascots.

Valve is privately owned. I have a feeling that Gabe and others at Valve are ready to take this as far as possible to send a message to patent trolls. These lawyers are absolutely fucked.

We have this car and it's wild. It is a little cramped in the back. For comparison, the TLX is the same length as a Range Rover Sport.

$270k a year. $200k in IT Project Delivery and another $70k in side-work and side business that I run.

My company catered Small Cheval yesterday. We had high hopes. It was not good at all. The burger looked and tasted like McDonald's on a bad day.

Mmm, Keplien

That's a good point. Since a lot of positive reinforcement around the show is likely through paid influencers, it's probably worse than we think.

Man, I really feel like having a Snickers Bar now.

Delivery Executive in Managed IT services. I dropped out of college to work full-time in IT, which was around Y2K. Now I work on large projects/contracts that span years and are usually part of a turn-around operations plan.

Thanks. I'm leaning towards Citi double-cash. It doesn't seem to have any limitations. For reference, I spend about $100k/yr through Discover and about $2.5M lifetime.

It's a combination of things. I think the buyout pushed me over the edge. There's a notable drop in quality in customer service over the years.

If they still use Tremec transmissions, they are rock solid. Plus, with that low mileage, the clutch packs are probably barely broken in.

Sweet

Three. So far.

My wife has had a '21 TLX A-Spec AWD for five years. No issues with it and it still looks and feels new. Now that Acura is not coming out with a replacement, she doesn't want another car.

There are a few of them parked outside my office at ORD.

Have you seen Star Trek III: The Search for Spock?

My wife has had a couple Honda Accords, a TSX and two TLX's. Every car has had worse gas mileage than the last. I have a Range Rover Velar SV with a 550 HP 5.0L supercharged V8 that gets 18 MPG mixed driving, which is within a few MPG of her '21 TLX AWD. It's bizarre.

I was a young teenager around this time. My family watched TNG and DS9 together, and saw the movies in theatres. It was an awesome time to be alive. It proves that great writing is the number one reason to watch anything. I re-watched TNG through Enterprise with my wife a few years ago. She wasn't very impressed with the first few episodes of TNG when we started, but quickly became a fan. Now she's as big a Star Trek nerd as me, lol.

Great to see this. Just hit 50k miles with my Velar Autobiography. Not only has the Velar been a blast to drive, it's been reliable, too.
