I don't think I figured out till my early '20s that most people don't actually expect an answer when they open with "How are you doing?", much less an honest one, and I grew up here. Nobody tells you these things.

Well, they'll tell you there will be cake, but it will be a lie.

Just what I was coming here to say. I'd contribute more if that 1% of editors would let me. After having one too many articles (about historical events, I might add) I'd put real time into researching get deleted for not being notable, I gave up.

So, are the shoeshine boys handing out stock tips yet?

Same here!

I don't hate taxes as such. I hate being nickel-and-dimed all the time. For instance, Virginia has a car tax. It's extra paperwork to fill out every year, you have to get the stupid sticker onto the windshield, and if you forget the state just adds up fees instead of reminding you. I would much rather pay more in income tax. Income tax also has the added benefit of being less regressive so my previous grad student self could have paid less and my current white-collar self would pay more.

I was going to call BS, too, but only on the theory that they could change or revoke anything at any time if it's a cloud-based setting rather than something managed locally. Your theory is even more disturbing, though, so it's probably the one that's correct.

I love that these dispatches are still running. All hail K'Breel!

Anyone know if this will integrate with Bluetooth OBD II readers? I did RTFA...well, I searched TFA, and didn't see anything one way or another.

Their whole marketing department has probably come down with depression over the last few years, so it's clearly time to trot out the interns doing something fun and not particularly consequential. Maybe next year they'll do a viral video.

(For the record, I'd like to see them doing well again. The more competition at the cutting edge, the better. But they got complacent, and it looks like SpaceX is about to eat the rest of their lunch, with Blue Origin possibly stealing a bit, too.)

I know some people believe he resurfaced years later as an auteur, but I don't buy it. Everyone knows he really died fighting Sasquatch to protect a bunch of hot, shirtless young men.

Excellent suggestion, and thanks to Whipslash for doing it. It's nice to see the polls back where they belong.

That's actually pretty cool.

Well said. They don't really bother me, either, but I've never watched one.
