This thing ain't surviving The Road

Could be worse. Could be Eggman or Clock King.

Side note: I knew a guy who added "real" keyboards to 400s as a side business, back in the day.

I didn't like the keyboard, but by god the whole rest of the computer was so solidly built: better than the Apple II or TRS-80 and certainly better than Commodore's offerings.

You had to get to the IBM PC (the 5150) to get something built like the 400/800.

Vive let stade avec le roof that leaks!

Small-business failsons like Ford are famous for not cultivating management teams that are willing to offer sober-second-thought advice to their boss

Can..can we please change how headlines are written so that we're not automatically giving these people credibility by uncritically mentioning their bullshit claim first and then saying "experts disagree" afterwards?

Devin can go back to cattle herding.

It drove my grandfather, who worked for decades at Chrysler supplier and had been an owner since the 50s, into Toyota's loving embrace.

Isn't the Diplomat based on the Aspen?

We had an Aspen wagon, with the slant-6. The motor managed 13 trouble-free years.

The **whole rest of the car** was a complete basketcase: rust from the factory, steering couldn't stay in alignment, trim bits biodegraded, stalled when you turned left, etc.

Walkerton 2: Salmonella Boogaloo

This Isn't Trading. It's Theft from Your Retirement. Someone keeps making perfectly-timed bets right before the President speaks. The victims are your pension, your 401(k), and the country I took an oath to defend.

Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them.

Half his cabinet is walking around is shoes that are three sizes too big because they're afraid to tell him he guessed their shoe size wrong.

I mean…

Isn't a bunch of Saudi money backing this as well?

Substitute "Jews" or "Blacks" for "Trans" and "LGBTQ" into that sentence.

How does it read now?

I'd like to see Legends get the "What If…" treatment, specifically an adaptation of Zahn's Thrawn trilogy.

I re-read the books recently and Thrawn's such a fun character.

(Side note: I've actually worked, years ago, with Deco (as a former supplier of my the -employer) and met them when they came in for a vendor visit.

Boorish and corrupt describes him and his family perfectly)

I've worked for a few people like Ford in my career and seen many like him. They're all so pathetically corrupt and boorishly self-aggrandizing at the same time.

Did he get hundreds of thousands of dollars in kickbacks from suppliers? Did he go on Vegas junkets and ball games with his family? Did one supplier pay for a pool in his back yard? Did he have a company car and phone? Did his wife consult?

Oh, but he never claimed expenses!

I had a boss like this who was very proud of all the expenses he didn't claim and would grind me on, eg, a cup of coffee on a business trip.

I keep forgetting the SE exists, thank you!

Kind of reminds me of

"Oooh, Barracuuuuda!"

I'm kind of ashamed to say that I did like the touchbar, but hated the keyboard mechanism that they bolted it to.

What I really objected to was removing the home button from the iPhone. My father, who turns 80, is still sticking with his iPhone 8 for this reason.

Trump nominations loom over Senate's cherished Munich trip Thune warned they may have to stay in town to vote on President Trump's nominations.

RFK was fast tracked after this article came out where senators were complaining about Trump's nominees maybe affecting their trip to Germany where they get free beer and sausage.

The Democrats fast tracked every single one of these nominees except Hegseth (and that is only because a single Democrat, Chris Murphy, held up the nomination).

Following key wins, Trump poised for cabinet completion in record time After successfully confirming his most controversial picks for top Cabinet roles, the Senate is on track to push them all past the finish line—and in record time.

"Oh we are so divided! What ever will we do about how divided the political parties are!"

Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries planned Trump's inauguration, they personally hammered in the first nails of his inauguration stage, and every senate Democrat helped confirm his nominees in record time.

It's good people got properly skeptical anyway but tracking unanimous consent last year really clarified for me how much we all live in a fake fantasyland controlled by politicians who make up pretend stories about how things actually work.

This is one of these things I can type out and shout till I'm blue in the face and it is indisputably true but also it is not covered anywhere so people do not believe it.

If only the NYT had some reporters who could have been hammering on all this rampant nine-figures worth of corruption instead of telling us how Claudine Gay didn’t plagiarize an essay, or the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop.
