I own a Volt, love it. What I REALLY want is an Ioniq 5. Love everything about the car, but don't want to pay for it, LOL. Can't have everything tho. Dave

QuoteRolando QuoteDinerDave Working in restaurants and C-stores for over 40 years combined with the labor shortage... The problem isn't a labor shortage. More like a capital strike I agree in principle. My situation, I have the 3 full timers I'm allowed, 40 hrs, while the other 10-12 positions are part time, although full time benefits if you can commit to 30+ hours, just not a guaranteed s

Re: NFL Week 13 Talk (spoilers) - 4 days ago

Pats/Chargers was one boring, sloppy game. Pretty much 3 good offense plays for each team. Warm rain, yes, but no excuse for the dozens of dropped passes by both teams. Battling to be cellar dwellers, and get a first round pick. Dave

Re: I want a buzzer to Zap politicians during press conferences when they don't answer a question. - 4 days ago

Quotemstudio I know, and the interviewer never says, "Ok, great, but you didn't answer the question". To Kristin Welker's credit, she did try several times to cut DeSantis off and repeat the question, he just kept talking over her. Dave

It's the most horrible time of the year - 4 days ago

Yes, I said it, sing that to the famous Xmas song. Working in restaurants and C-stores for over 40 years combined with the labor shortage, which by the way are personally worse right now than anytime in the last 20 years. During the Covid crisis, I was either nicely staffed or sometimes looking for one more part timer to add flexibility when someone wanted a day off. Between 2020 and 2022 my r

I want a buzzer to Zap politicians during press conferences when they don't answer a question. - 4 days ago

Watching Meet The Press, DeSantis (as all politicians, I admit it) do anything they can to not answer questions. I'm sitting here hollering at the TV, "Yeah, this has been going on forever, but the older I get, the more outspoken I get. The moderators of press conferences should be able to send a shock to the seat of any politician who does not answer the question asked. That is all, don

Re: One month to go. What are your plans? - 12 days ago

We are doing the alternating holiday thing with the in-laws, so that means this year is our turn to host daughter and son in law. Wife's sister will be a usual fixture, and son will make the 9 hour trek north too. The feast for the few days kids are at the original home will include a bone in Standing Prime Rib, and my wife's wonderful red sauce that could used with either lasagna or stuffed sh

I did this once at a regional supermarket near me several years ago. I had a message on the answering machine at home waiting for me, I live 10 minutes away.

QuoteMacArtist I also miss GeneL. We started chatting online when I bought a PM G5 at an Apple Store fire sale (remember those?). He pm’d me when he was feeling depressed and I tried to listen and give him feedback and discuss the problems my family experienced with depression. He was a part of why this place felt special to me. It was more than the camaraderie. More than discussing tech pr

Re: MR Forum Remembrance 10/31 GeneL - 30 days ago

Quotehal Gene's story was like a personal horror story. He seemed like a good guy, but he ended up dependent on a woman he wasn't married to and her kids seemed to fear him getting in the way of their inheritance. They acted on this fear and pretty much ruined the end of his life. What a nightmare. I had a hard time engaging in those threads - I didn't see any solution and had no advice to off

QuoteSpeedy Quotemattkime Lawnmower Yup, that is the most environmentally sensitive thing to do. Mow your leaves into bite size pieces and let nature do its thing over the winter. I have never raked but I mow for the last time each season before we get winter-long snow cover in order to chop up the leaves. 33 years and no leaf debris buildup. Pretty much what I do.
