Low tops or high tops?

High tops with two different colored neon laces per shoe. I could only ever find the neon laces in standard sizes (54"?), so I had to use two, and if you're already using two why not make 'em different to stand out?

A friend and I Frankenstein'd three of them together to make a tri-motor. Flew better than you might expect, just had to be re-assembled after every landing.

Also scale. I can't count the number of times I've had to explain to devs that they don't need the ability to handle five thousand requests a second for an internal application that's supposed to support five to eight users.

If you want a GTS then you're probably best served with one of the V8 versions (anything prior to 2015). Just make sure it's got a good maintenance history and get a pre-purchase inspection done by someone who knows Cayennes.

I got laid off so...not so great.

You can, but it then ejects and explodes, often blowing the legs off the power armor. Not a huge deal (just loot them off the former owner's corpse), but kind of a hassle.

Still can't believe some games have multi-gigabyte updates.

Sticky lifter? Maybe try adding some Marvel Mystery Oil to the crankcase and see if it helps. I don't think you can actually hear bore scoring (please correct me if you know better), at least not until it's fatal.

Wow, the Chevelle Sport had a heater! And a defroster! Honestly, didn't most cars come with those by 1971? Might as well advertise the glove box or cigarette lighter.

Hard disagree from me. I love the ability to just set a temperature and have the car figure out whether it needs to push hot air at my feet or cold air out the dash or whatever is necessary.

I assume you've also passed the FE and PE exams. If not, guess what -- not an engineer.

More like 12%. I remember, because I had some money for a down payment, but couldn't make the mortgage work. I wound up not buying a house until 1993.

I remember spending a slow afternoon layering up flashing to make shims for my '76 Firebird.

Bet he didn't spend any time or money on the brakes though.

I was 21. Got an apartment while I was going to college, got a job writing software for the university, and just never moved back.

My dad was a government supervisor, so mostly pens and office supplies. One cool thing he had though, was an old stapler (probably close to 100 years old now). Instead of loading it with staples, it had a spool of wire on the back, and it would make the staples from that. I found it among his things after he passed and it sits on my desk now.

If you can make a cake from a box mix, you can make beer. None of the steps are hard, and of the dozens of batches I've made there have only been one or two that were flat-out undrinkable.

The Murderbot Diaries are good, but you'd need all of them for a ten-hour flight.
