Ah yes, me with my VW. Took the shop forever to find a wheel lock (because my used car didn't come with it), and then they nicely used regular lug nuts as a replacement. Love the car, hate the BS.

When I was a kid in the '70s, there were so many chestnut trees in New England the fallen nuts were as ubiquitous as acorns. I haven't seen a native chestnut tree in a long, long time. These data centers are a blight of a different kind. Fuck those guys.

Dear Jane,
I do not have any money so I am sending you this drawing I did of a spider instead. I value the drawing at $233.95 so trust that this settles the matter.

That section of Black Space in Omori with Mewo (IYKYK). I had forgotten how I "got out of" other scenarios I couldn't exit, and felt helpless and ANGRY. So angry. I dropped multiple F-bombs, gently placed my controller down before I threw it, and just walked away for a while.

Right after the Cornell Jane Doe story broke, a site called JaneDoeMerch.com started selling I Am Jane Doe hats and T-shirts, claiming the proceeds would go to Jane Doe's legal fund. Her lawyer knows nothing about it. Read my story on Jane Doe merch at @wired.com: www.wired.com/story/meet-t...

YASSSSSSS! I despise my partner's vehicle. While it does have knobs, the knobs CHANGE FUNCTION depending upon what mode the underlying panel is in (climate versus entertainment). Clearly, UI design is a dying art, but it should be paramount in a machine that can kill someone if you're not looking.

I have recurring dreams where I'm driving a car from the back seat, usually off-roading, and jumping my car off incomplete overpasses so I think I would prefer the kitty litter decisions. 😅

Honestly, I think Mafia Don either doesn't care or the isolation is intentional. It's most likely a combination of both. It's as though Black Mirror and Idiocracy had a baby and I really hate this timeline.

I am disheartened that we have to tie ICE's unconstitutional behavior to the price of beef for some people to care, but here we are. That said, I don't think Mafia Don cares, given his chat with Joelsey Batista that helped the Brazilian beef industry. Pull on one thread and lose the whole sweater.
