I grew up with the US one. Yours looks better. Classier maybe, more grown up or something. Ours looks like Fisher Price.

Were blades the original UI for Xbox 360 or were they the update? I remember getting a beta invite to try the new UI, I can’t remember whether it was going to or away from blades. But yeah, I liked that one too.

Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don’t.

I’ve always been sort of vaguely curious what car company CEOs drive, if/when they aren’t just being chauffeured around in the company limo. Like, what’s in their garage, and if left to their own devices, what would they drive around in to run get groceries or go out to eat or whatever.

Moreso the “regular” car brands than the luxury ones. Like I assume the head of Porsche drives a high end Cayenne or 911 (or both), so that’s less interesting.

But, like, does the CEO of Chevrolet drive a Chevrolet? Does he have a maxed out Suburban? Or does he step up to the Escalade, even if it’s from a different division? Or does he eschew GM entirely and go for the Rolls/Bentley, or a pasta rocket?

In this case, it looks like Ford’s CEO is driving the direct competition, which is interesting. Makes sense, I suppose, though it’s not at all the answer I expected.

Hurry onward, pencil, or you’ll soon be dead!

Yup, same. Upgraded from P6 to P7 for $20 a couple Black Fridays ago. The P7 is starting to get a little wonky, so I’m waiting to see what the sales look like this year, it’ll almost certainly be either a Pixel 9 or Nothing Phone (2).

No idea. Yamaha was doing pianos long before they were doing motorcycles, so it can’t be them. I can’t think of a company that started with motorcycles and then moved into pianos.

If I had a nickel for every story I’ve read today about a clemency request in a decades-old shaken baby syndrome case, I’d have two nickels, which doesn’t sound like a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

I prefer arches, btw.

If he’s using Roundup, he won’t have to worry about the grass anymore either.

I do like my water to be well-cooked. Would you recommend this water cooker?

Over there.

Pour one out.

Thirded. Fork is great.

Vertical grip may be a little more useful if he’d actually attach it to his gun. Gotta be hard on his wrist to just hover the gun up there like that.

But I wanted to swap lives with the fish, not another idiot!

I’m sitting here composing the HTML for that website in my head. Damn I wish it were still that easy. Needs more <blink>.

Edit: a/s/l?

A $2/mo subscription for a fucking screensaver?!

I hope there’s a teapot hidden in there somewhere.
