October would be what I would consider too late, but for a dog in a suit, well, I think we could all make an exception.

I was thinking you meant parking in gear rather than with the parking brake. My bad. You're totally right though.

"Walk to work, ignore corporate consumption, and use only the highest quality refined petroleum products, and go easy on the avocados."

Late reply, but no, not unless you are parked on a steep hill without any sidewalks. Leaving it parked in gear puts a great deal of stress on the clutch. Clutches aren't very fun or easy to replace. If you're on a hill with a sidewalk you should turn your front tires away from sidewalk on the incline, and towards the sidewalk on the decline.

My kid and his friends were convinced they would get $100 of free stuff from Temu, but only if they got 10 people to download the app. I tried telling them it was bullshit marketing but since they "heard so and so got $100 then it will work.". I downloaded it just to get them to shut up and deleted it.

Temu. Fucking Temu? It's the dollar store wish.com and that's saying something.

Anyways, it obviously didn't work and haven't heard about Temu since, then I'm pretty sure they realize their mistake.

I would prefer to not talk about him at all, but if there's any reason to discuss him I'd prefer to call him farthole taint. Or just farthole. Or .

What really pisses me off was not just that is was lazily written, but that D and DB knowingly ran it into the ground. They had a Q&A where they admitted it.

I had a similar experience a long time ago in Boston. I worked for a real estate brokerage as an administrative assistant. For anyone that might not know, the Boston real estate market is basically dead unless it's between March and September. I had already been sitting in the office by myself for months, doing absolutely nothing. No calls. Nothing besides an occasional trip to the bank.

We got so much snow the city shut down. Everyone was told not to drive, all public transport was shut down, people were skiing in the streets. My boss fired me for not going into work. Apparently I should have walked for 3 hours in 2 feet of snow so I could sit in an empty office by myself doing nothing. His office was a block away, in another brokerage he owned, conveniently nestled right underneath his apartment.

Luxury car makers will have a harder time justifying a high price tag when an electric Kia will match their 0-60.

Mark my words, cars will be the next common planned obselesence product. As soon as the battery doesn't take a charge people will junk it and buy another just like the phone market.

Mobile has extensions too. Ublock on Firefox mobile is a god send.

Fact: military officers sometimes use very small amounts of dihydrogen monoxide to torture prisoners to extent that the prisoners will admit to committing actions they had not committed.
