  1. Poor Dave has never read his user manual. There are no rear emergency door releases for Model 3 up through model year 2023. The emergency egress from the vehicle is through the front doors, which have easy to locate and operate emergency releases.
  2. First time through, my brain read this as “Attack of the Clones fixes so much about the prequels” and I was like WTF?!?!
  3. I’m an OG Star Wars fan. Mom took me to see Ep IV in the theater when I was five. I love it so much that I’m not super-discerning with SW content. If it’s got the brand on it, I’ll watch it and probably find something to enjoy about it. That said… Andor feels like a huge gift. It tells a compelling story very closely connected to the stories that hooked me when my age was in single digits. It’s completely new, but still tickles the nostalgia. The magic is still there.
  4. aggy softball misery doesn’t usually pack the same punch as big three aggy misery… but this is Heisenberg-level purity. Y’all keep a buddy around with Narcan tonight.
  5. It’s been two days and not a single reputable source has corroborated that a Tesla was the starting point of this fire.
  6. Has Graham published any new fanfic about how Earley has his team poised for a magical run through the SECT and NCAAT? Shhh... no one point out to them that they would at home on their ass after tomorrow if the SEC hadn't expanded the tournament to be a participation trophy for every team in the conference.
  7. I learned today. So for every quarter year of service, a player earns $6875/yr in pension to start at age 62. 43 days is a quarter year of MLB service. So with 9 years of service (36 quarters give or take), TK will get ~$247,500/yr starting at age 62.
  8. Bummer that he didn't get to service requirements for a pension, but he still gets the MLB lifetime pass (given at 8 years). I've really enjoyed rooting for him, and didn't stop after he left the Astros.
  9. A game out of first on May 15th. As much as we love to bitch, can’t really hate on that too much. Especially compared to last year.
  10. I won't call them out directly, but I wouldn't put it past someone whose username rhymes with BaboNabo
  11. They’re just supporting his “bury me in the H” comment.
  12. Secured a losing conference record today.
  13. Florence Pugh was the best part of Black Widow and she completely carried this movie. Very enjoyable and the change from a Battle Royale finale was refreshing.
  14. 100 bucks says we don't get shut out tonight.
  15. I did 8 deployments in my career and lost a shipmate on two of them, so my math says .25.
  16. LCS have always had a Command Senior Chief (E-8) vice CMC (E-9). Some might make Master Chief while in the job, but E-9s are not billeted to LCS. There are several other smaller commands that have Command Senior Chiefs now. CMD is also a rating now, so to be a CSC or CMC, you have to go to command leadership school and shift from your old rating to the new CMD rating - i.e. if you were an OSCS, you would now be a CMDCS.
  17. The way it's worded sounds like arresting gear failure rather than a bolter. Equipment failure will always pull the maintenance practices into focus. Once Sauron's eye turns upon your PMS (Preventive Maintenance System) boards, you are turbo-fucked. They will always find some place to ding you. It may have been an E-3 who gundecked a maintenance check, but everyone who signed the report saying that it was properly accomplished will have their heads on the block. And the CO will be on the block for not properly training the crew or exercising proper oversight.
  18. There is no way they scored almost 40 million runs.
  19. For those who celebrate:
  20. Sure, they CAN do it. But for many people, it will directly cost them thousands of dollars. And what does that loss of thousands actually do? Tesla still has still been paid or will get paid for that vehicle. Re-selling a vehicle that has already been purchased from Tesla makes zero financial impact to the company and Musk. Attributing some sort of moral failure or lack of empathy to people who do not sell their Teslas is pretty unfair. Asking people to eat thousands of dollars to make a completely symbolic gesture is unrealistic. It doesn’t make someone a bad person if they choose not to accept financial hardship in order to meet your arbitrary standard for ideological purity or political solidarity.
  21. Just needs to remember that the rose goes in front.
