    Every car self-wash station ive used have had fake timers. E.g. you get 5 minutes of usage time, but the timer shows 15:00 and runs 3x fast.Β 

    Whats the fucking point? Theres no price negotiation. Ive already agreed to use your station. Why not show the true timer so I can understand how much longer ive got left.Β 

    The one I go to just charges your credit card for the total time from start to finish, regardless of which of the 12 presets you use.

    Pretty nice not to have to fumble with quarters, etc.Β

    "Check out what Melba Toast is packing here, man."

    -Uh, this looks like a 2007 Toyota Supra with a ground effects kit.Β Β 

    "Yeah man, we're talking serious muscle.Β  Let's cruise it through curbside service at Top Notch."

    -What the fuck is a Top Notch?Β Β 

    As long as we're all being both obtuse and pedantic, I'll add that there's no such thing as a 2007 Supra.

    Incessant emails from Amazon that read β€œNNM, will you rate your transaction at Amazon with [random vendor]?
    Β 

    No, I won’t. I bought a widget, they sold it to me. Β It’s called commerce. If I like it and need more of it and they delivered a quality product in a timely fashion, I’ll order it again. If the quality was crap, or it was late, or I didn’t need it after all, then I’ll return it or choose another vendor.

    But I’m not going to play your ratings game.Β 

    7/10; would probably read again.Β

    In fact Tate might very well be the gayest man alive.

    If there is ever a way to reliably measure such a thing, I'm pretty sure we'll discover that the guy from the Cabenuva commercial holds the title.Β

  5. We finished it last night. Pretty entertaining all around.Β 

    Some of the characters were a little much at times, but their personalities and motivations generally always fit into the story.Β 

    Definitely need the subtitles though.Β 

    On a related note, shows like this are why I despise the subscription-specific megathreads in this forum. No way that I would have learned about it if not for @Gil BangΒ  deciding that this warranted its own thread. So thanks for saying "fuck you" to the megathreads, Gil!Β

  6. That shape felt off to me as well, so I did a little poking around.Β 

    Apparently this deck is referred to as a modified reissue because it is in fact on a different shape.Β 

    Makes perfect sense as a rider, and obviously a heck of a lot cheaper than an OG if it's just going to hang on the wall.Β

    A car collection with Cybertruck, Pontiac Aztek, Lincoln Blackwood, GM EV1, Yugo, Cadilac Cimarron, Chevy Citation, Pontiac Fierro, DeLorean, VW Phaeton, Jag X-Type and other similar idiotic blunders by car manufacturers would be worthy. Particularly, if they had narration video/audio of the various surrounding issues and stupidity. I'd visit that museum for sure.

    I don't know whether it's fair to lump the Fiero into this group. Perhaps a trade for the Cadillac Catera is in order?Β

    Believe me, I think we've all done the same or similar at some point. This morning, I really hesitated because the answer did seem way too obvious.

    Honestly, as much as I am chagrinned by the error and others like it, the fact that I often play these games within a half hour or 45 minutes of waking up and before I'm fully "mentally up and running" is a nice, low-stakes reminder that perhaps I, too, am aging just like everyone else, and that I need to be more mindful of making impetuous decisions based on assumptions and schemas than I would otherwise realize or care to admit.Β
