Semi-Hemi-Lemmygod

I never saw any stars. I just saw the prices.

Chewbacca. Because I am also large, hairy, and communicate in a series of grunts and growls

I was working the booth at a conference and the sales guys closed some big deal there and took everybody at the conference out to a four star restaurant. Since it was in a legal state me and the woman from marketing got really baked before we went in and had $200 steaks with a $400 bottle of wine. There were like 10 people, too so the whole bill must have been at least $4,000.

She was high as hell the whole time and trying to hide it, which was hilarious for me to watch.

I’ve also had Iron Chef Morimoto make sushi for me but since I paid it didn’t feel above my station.

It’s a book series and it’s not about the East India Company per se, though they make frequent appearances, but the Aubrey/Maturin books by Patrick O’Brien are incredibly good. The first one is called Master & Commander which inspired the Russell Crowe movie of the same name.

How’s he doing? I heard he had some health problems.

Trump got about the same amount of votes, but Harris got way fewer than Biden did. It wasn’t hate that won the election, but apathy that lost it.

I like counting my breathing as well, but I find that remembering what number I’m on keeps me awake. So I count my breaths from 10 to 0 and then back to 10 again.

CGP Grey hasn’t made a video about it because he can’t stop staring at it

For one the only thing I could find was a locked-down Facebook profile.

They were running unopposed.

I also vote by mail and it usually takes me longer in non-presidential years because there’s more offices to vote for and zero local campaigning. So I have to creep on people on social media to know if I’m comfortable with them having the powers of prothonotary.

Does this work for Bedrock as well as Java edition? I can get Java to work with infrared proxy but I’m not sure how to do Bedrock

I’d like it if hatchbacks could be hot again and not SUVs. Ford Focus, VW Golf, those sorts of things.

Yeah, and since all those plane makers also do military stuff, the military planes all end up looking the same, too.

We’ll never see weird designs like the Catalina or the P-38 again and I’m kinda sad about that. The weirdest things in the sky now are drones. The Bayraktar has a empanage that would make Kelly Johnson proud.

Fuck yeah, I’d love an El Camino

I think it also has to do with the population getting older and fatter. People aren’t able to get into and out of traditional sedans anymore, so they need something with more ride height.

That would explain why station wagons didn’t come back into fashion.

I’ve got a house built in the 70s and a new Volvo wagon won’t fit lengthwise in it without gutting the garage.

Meanwhile my GTI can fit in front of my workbench with almost six feet to spare.

Fuel economy is ruining the sedans and wagons that still exist. Volvos are getting really long and really wide, because CAFE standards take to the area underneath the wheelbase into account, and the bigger that is the less economical they have to be.

I’ve got a 2015 v60 and while I like the new ones they’re just too damn wide and long.

I’d say a hatchback is a sedan with the trunk/boot removed, while a station wagon has the trunk/boot extended to the roofline. Hatchbacks would end up shorter than the sedan or wagon version of cars.

Bring back the Brat!
