I do miss it, though, and would put up with all that if I had something else as a daily.

But it needed a clutch when I sold it, which I wasn’t about to try in the driveway. That was a two years or so after they went belly up, so parts weren’t impossible to get but getting tricky. I had a shop that seemed to know how to work on them, but repairs took longer and longer…

I had done a fair amount of maintenance on it (brakes, plugs, o2 sensor, etc) so I had those tools. There was a little circuit board behind the headlight switch that had bad solder; every so often the headlights would quit- kept a battery powered soldering iron in the glove box for that.

Letting Connor run with “I guess Jim Harbaugh is the alum who’s done the most to bolster his legacy as a coach” without pointing out that Kirby Smart went to UGA is some hatin’-ass hosting, @celebrityhottub.bsky.social

I’d like to see the Pixar take on a teen Ceratioid anglerfish’s coming of age. There would have to be some sort of “when you finally find love, you just gotta’ hold on forever” musical number.

@celebrityhottub.bsky.social Please tell me Stanford not being a Homefield school doesn’t preclude a “We’re Not” episode. Even Connor might mot be able to redeem some of the more problematic mascot depictions in pre-Cardinal history.

@hollyanderson.bsky.social listening to the UT Nanni joint now. Did/do you feel different about Stanford than UCONN? I noticed you mention Azzi but not VanDerveer (so far.)

I was in a bar in San Francisco in 2009 where there was a charity raffle. I bought a couple of $10 tickets with a credit card. I still get quarterly mailings from them at my address in Georgia, haven’t been tempted to give a cent since.

I used to have the opposite problem on Mac + Posit. If I downloaded a project from the fall workspace, Safari would auto-uncompress the zip, so I’d have to manually zip it before re-upload for spring (as Posit expects to unzip…) Settings change in Safari fixed that.

Eh, I’ve been out on this team since hamburgergate. I don’t hold out much hope that the UW that struggled with the likes of Stanford will pull this out. I’m surprised it’s still close with UW’s run game so limited, but w/Penix they’re only one blown coverage from an equalizer.

I get HEIC iPhone images of untitled windows on computer screens that they upload using that same computer rather than saving the script and sending the file, or copy-pasting the script itself.

Visiting in-law. Their neighbors have a new cocker puppy named Horace. We took him a little Christmas dog chew and I stood there in the entryway contemplating the cascade of horror on my wife’s face if I’d given into the impulse to chant “There’s some Horace in this house” to delight the 11yo.

Does stop-start frequency help, too, or do they never get going fast enough for brake regen to offer benefit? (Seems like I remember UPS experimented with a mechanical regen system at one point. A big spring or compression canister?)

The parrot nutrition people all tut-tut about peanuts, too, but I still give them to my Amazon, in moderation. I think there’s too much fat in them, maybe- leads to fatty liver? If so, probably less of a concern for wild, active fliers.

You planning to sous vide the leftover candy and that anova container? :-) Nights like this are why you should only buy candy that you, yourself, would be happy to consume. I’m sitting here wondering how many skittles packs I can sneak into the office candy bowl.
