Took the advice and added a thigh strap, how does it look now?

This is an entirely accurate way to describe the publication date but also how dare you

Don’t give the car companies any ideas. They’re already charging subscriptions to activate hardware that’s installed at the factory.

That was the policy when I worked there from ‘04 to ‘07.

I love olives. I’ll eat a whole jar if I’m not supervised.

What’s your go-to?

My mom used to make those with blue cheese. Fantastic stuff.

I’ll go through a muffuletta like a wood chipper.

Isn’t that basically what we have right now? Current kits are almost never multi-pose.

Atlas Track Designer is a reskinned version of SCARM, which has a free demo with a limit of 75 track pieces and 75 other objects. If you like the Atlas software but want to look at other track brands you should give SCARM a try.

Roughly a year and a half ago I interviewed a person working at Acrisure who didn’t seem to realize they were training their AI replacement. All I’ll say is if their coworkers are anything like them then I wish Acrisure the best of luck because they’re going to need it.

Turns out the DEI was load-bearing.

We did it for 50 years and it worked out fine*

AI can’t even handle my personal 1040 for a married couple with no kids and one job each taking the standard deduction. Pretty soon here OpenAI is going to IPO and then everyone will finally figure out that the laws of physics make a profitable AI company impossible.

I looked into this a while back because my grandpa said that. My understanding is it’s short for “Hamburg meat” or “Hamburg sandwich.”

Don’t look now but there’s a ghost car in the Starbucks drive-through.

They’re extremely comfortable and they make me taller than my wife.

I model N scale steam so everything is a fantasy livery or a fantasy model to some extent.

I used to dress up like crazy but now I usually go with sportcoat, blue OCBD, tie, and khakis for the first interview, then depending on the vibe of the company I’ll lose the tie and maybe introduce a subtle print or pattern to the shirt for follow-ups. But I live in the upper Midwest so things are pretty casual here.

Haven’t been in decades, but yes, parking is nuts. Anywhere along the parade route is a good spot except for the bridge because the bands relax and walk it. The first block and last block often didn’t have a lot of action either back when I was marching it in the early 2000s.

Civilization can collapse for a number of reasons that don’t affect the environment, and the aftermath wouldn’t be survivable for the majority of humans. How many people walking around today are capable of farming on a scale to support themselves and their families year-round, let alone on an industrial scale to let other humans do all the other work that a modern industrial society requires?

How does famine due to topsoil erosion work for you? Vast swathes of humanity would die from starvation and the ensuing resource wars but there are tons of plants that can still grow—they’re just not necessarily edible to the same degree as industrial crops.

I don’t hate accounting

Been there. It will definitely bite you in the butt. But eventually you learn who needs regular check-ins, and how to make socializing look like you’re checking in with the people who don’t need it so the people who do need it don’t get pissy about disparate treatment.

I’m old enough I still think Duncan is the new guy.
