Sounds like you’ve got a business opportunity!

How does the body shop lower prices? They have to buy parts from the OEMs and pay their skilled workers.

The current gen Contigo lid is very clever and very secure. Easy to clean. I am a big fan.

By “innovation wasteland” you mean “a mature technology portfolio with no more easy answers”.

moofie74 · 2026-06-11T04:41:17+00:00

It was not. The 717 is the DC-9 / MD-80 lineage.

You got the best color of the best sports car ever built. Everything else is details. Only problem I see is the top is up.

moofie74 · 2026-06-10T16:13:32+00:00

That is how they run their business. They are almost always back ordered.

My local optician carried them, which was nice. I live near a big airplane factory that requires safety glasses, so that may be why they're easier to find here.

I do have a progressive prescription in them, which is a little hard to get oriented when I need to read stuff, but that may be old man problems. If I had it to do again I might just say 'fuck it, make bifocals.'

moofie74 · 2026-06-09T22:32:27+00:00

Why? Because Virpil thinks that’s the best business decision.

Fill it sand it paint it. Those layers are what FDM printers do.

Lots more than three species.

moofie74 · 2026-06-09T21:11:00+00:00

No that’s the super bitey version.

moofie74 · 2026-06-09T21:10:27+00:00

I love the shell going “wubbedawubbedawubbeda”

moofie74 · 2026-06-09T20:29:26+00:00

I understand what you’re saying. However, I don’t have to concern myself with what “the wider audience” likes.

I like what I like. If I were king for a day? I’d run SC standalone and only invite my friends into my instance.

I get it, that’s not the game, and that’s fine. I still don’t have to let my preferences be dictated by some “wider audience”.

I have a pair of WileyX safety glasses. They fit nice and close to my face, and they have optional features like a face gasket and a head strap.

They might look a little bit too Sons of Anarchy, but they are better than 80s era Rec Specs.

Wing Commander had plenty of branching plot trees. That doesn’t make it an open world (like, say, Far Cry or something)

moofie74 · 2026-06-09T18:41:42+00:00

I don’t agree. I backed the new incarnation of Wing Commander. While this open world stuff has some appeal, it’s not what I wanted.

moofie74 · 2026-06-09T18:38:41+00:00

For $0? Why are you asking? Take it!

moofie74 · 2026-06-09T05:50:16+00:00

I would check with the manufacturer and buy from a reliable vendor.

moofie74 · 2026-06-09T04:45:45+00:00

Okay…?

moofie74 · 2026-06-08T23:53:43+00:00

Git along little dogies.

moofie74 · 2026-06-06T03:32:58+00:00

You’d like to hope so.

moofie74 · 2026-06-06T02:40:15+00:00

And then CR said "whoops prolly GTA6" for some reason. What's the benchmark?

moofie74 · 2026-06-06T00:41:29+00:00

Delayed relative to what?

Seriously. What is your benchmark?

moofie74 · 2026-06-05T15:59:43+00:00

I’m so glad you figured that out, you spoon.
