Don't forget decades of advancements in manufacturing procedures, engineering, tighter tolerances, improved materials science, and so on that have happened to help ensure the propane remains in the coolant circuit.

Sounds like my dad, happy as a clam when the county assessor lowballed the house. "Less property tax? Well, if you insist."

Maybe its a new version of "Sneaking the Wilhelm scream into everything", or the rumored "Make the stupidest TV hacking scene possible" contest that is supposed to have lead to the NCIS 'double keyboard jockey'

The infamous "36 jump cuts to hop a fence" scene from Taken...3(?) is so wild as to be parody, but its real. Just wild to me that it would make the cut.

I've yet to hear very many stories of TikTok randomly and capriciously demonetizing videos as one often hears of YouTube doing, so there is that?

Project managers often come in too late, in my experience. And they are, by and large, realistic. Specifically for construction, the low-balling stage is when the Estimators are putting together a tender to try to secure the work in the fir

VTOL VR is fucking amazing for this. You're right there in the cockpit, and you have to reach out and hit buttons and fiddle with dials around the MFDs and everything. Its so, so, so good.

Hear hear. Take all your damn IPAs and give me a Blonde, Stout, or Porter. For the latter two, the darker the better.

If the coffee pots, water tanks, etc. are cleaned as rigorously as the same at restaurants and so on, then yeah I could see the desire to only want stuff that came in sealed bottles and touched no ice.
