That was my first thought. “9 is a world record? I haven’t even trained and I bet I could do that.”

This also led to better customer service. You had a relationship with your driver.

Something that seems immediately apparent to me is that these folks are not fresh high school students. Adults used to work these jobs.

I was a little shocked I hadn’t seen much of that coverage here on the fediverse yet.

Recently was watching something with Andrew Callahan, and he brought up that most furries are completely misunderstood. He assumed the entire culture was a sex thing when he started interviewing at a convention, and was pulled aside by someone there. They explained that while yes, there are definitely some that are into it for the sex, the vast majority of folks are on the spectrum and use that suit to help them loosen up in social situations. Made a lot more sense to me hearing him speak on it.

I would say the main difference is the focus. Instead of mainly fighting zombies, The Last of Us tries to focus more the human element during an apocalyptic event.

How you gonna just ignore Bohemian Garlic like that?!

This has always gotten under my skin as well. I generally downplay it to make my job sound as common as possible, and I do not return the question. What I do for money has very little influence on who I am or what I enjoy.

Stole.

The flip side of this coin is, we also get what we want. Devs get paid, and we get games.

I’m not saying it’s ideal, and I understand your point…but it’s better than not paying. This is just a typical transaction with extra steps.

Personally, I agree with your mindset, but I’m pretty handy with fixing/maintaining my own vehicles. For someone needing something to reliably get back and forth to work/school/daycare, I understand why people don’t go this route. Shop lead times have skyrocketed in the last few years, as have repair prices. Sometimes you just need something you don’t have to worry about.

Absolutely! I was just running on the assumption that:

1. If you’re buying toys at Spencer’s, you’re probably not after super high quality/expensive toys.

2)For those unaware, a blanket “no” is easier to remember and safer to follow.

3)If you’re in the market for platinum grade cured toys, then you are already well past this learning experience.

Excellent recommendation, I absolutely love that stuff, and a lifetime supply is cheap! The worst part about it is finding a good bottle to keep it in.

Remember kids, silicone lube is not safe for silicone toys.

Saw him play recently in Alabama. They were selling this phrase on a shirt. Much to my surprise, that shirt was sold out by the time I went to pick it up. I was pleasantly shocked.

“I want to be able to use my expensive hardware for the reason I purchased it in the first place” seems like a pretty solid argument to me.

It sounds like a lot of people here are incorrectly assuming you are going to wear the o ring as jewelry, instead of using it as a keeper for your jewelry.

The o rings are the same. Wash them and use them.

Mine is an NA, '95. I really dig the popup headlights. 1995 was a good year IMO. First year with the bigger 1.8, and still had OBD1.

My brother has an NB for years, so I’ve had plenty of seat time in one of those as well. They feel really similar to the NA, with better suspension travel. Great cars!

Preludes are awesome! I’ve got an old Miata that I’ve had for years, similar situation. I’ve thrown a ton of money at it, full well knowing I’ll never see it back. But she’s mine, she runs great, and I have no intentions of selling.
