In my case it's a 2008 E-250 van. Portable shop on wheels. Were I younger and looking to build an empire it would probably be a box truck.

I agree that pickups have grown ridiculously large.

I'm suggesting you have a total lack of understanding why trucks can be a necessity and not merely "the exception." I realize a lot of folks on HN work coding or other computer/technology focused jobs. There are many of us, however, who are tasked with keeping reality relatively functional. Trucks aren't optional for us. Neither are they compensation for inadequate manhood. They're tools. My tool chain is Ford and Milwaukee M12. What's yours?

Let me humbly suggest Rebel Yell.

Oesophago-Gastro-Duodenoscopy?

Yeah, well, I'm not going to carry $10K worth of tools and a couple of ladders on a bicycle. Or on the bus. Yes that's my work truck. Yes those tools get used every day.

Nah.

It was payback to Jim Clyburn for the stunt he pulled in 2020 re: Bernie.

So you've had Kraft singles, I see.

Well it's nice to see someone has turned that disgusting mildewy crap into something useful.

Of course. Because doing anything whatsoever to mitigate the climate crisis is authoritarian overreach and instigation of the Scary State™.

Examples of the latter:

You can deal with Gandhi or deal with several million Indian nationals who want your heads on pikes.

You can deal with Dr. King or you can deal with Malcom X and the Panthers.

Etc...

I don't need to pay a company a monthly fee to have someone scream at me. I have an ex-wife who will gladly do it for free.

Whooooosh...

Ah yes, just what we need. Another tool the police can use to pull people over. What could possibly go wrong?

Pulling the corporate charter is the equivalent of the death penalty for corporations. This option needs to be exercised far more frequently.

I have seen this far too often in engineering projects. The push is to get the product out the door and turn it over from R&D to production engineering. Never mind the final quality, that will be fixed in the field by another department with a different budget. We got a product shipped; our department's reputation and budget is intact.

AI reminds me of another industry term: GIGO.

I'm going to be charitable here and assume your exposure to different kinds of food, styles of cooking, and "foreign" cuisines is severely lacking.

All the more reason to require open boot loaders and the like. If the community is that small, it will minimally affect the ability of manufacturers to move new product. At least at first, until people find out they can do more with an old phone than throw it in a drawer.

No, I prefer not to support those who have absurd anti-science beliefs. You are of course free to prefer crystals, chakras, essential oils, or whatever other flavor of the month you prefer. I remember polio. And measles. And mumps. And so many other diseases that vaccines have defeated so soundly that a certain percentage of fools no longer think vaccines are necessary. I'm not sure what blather about social credit has to do with that

Put yourself in the position of the patient. Would you want your doctor or your insurance company dictating your treatment?

Growlers go flat too quickly. I typically don't want to consume a half gallon of beer in one sitting.

Litter. And pull tab litter ending up slicing peoples' feet open. And idiots opening their beveragem dropping the pull tab inside, drinking it and slicing up their throat. No, they don't go all the way down, but they'll play hell with the soft tissue in the back of your mouth.

"My card. Wile.E. Coyote, Super Genius.

There's sufficient evidence to back up that statement.

And Project Veritas has demonstrated they are not to be taken as a valid source.

Were those actually "das blinkenlights" on the front?

The Andy Griffith Show ran from 1960-1968.

Some of the best music ever committed to a TV series was on that show. Musically, it's the 50s' WKRP In Cincinnati.

Or not.
