I know it's incredibly bougie of me but being able to warm my car on a 15F day is such a good quality of life thing.

Early cassette-based ROMs never took off because of speed issues, and a lack of very tiny pencils.

I saw my neighbor's giant golden lab on a rare walk in these 15F conditions. This dog just adores my kids and runs out to say hello. Unfortunately my own dog gets extremely jealous with this giant interloper, and does not deal well with him receiving affection from us. He's been sulking all day.

Just before the cold snap, y my central heating furnace decided that 25yrs was enough service and decided to shit itself. They just fitted the new unit, and it's dual fuel heat-pump ready for when the AC inevitably gives up as well.

❝ WHAT A THIRD WORLD WAR WOULD MEAN FOR INVESTORS
gobal conflicts have a habit of sneaking up on money-managers ❞

The 737 Max-9 hasn't been assembled properly. You can bet it's not just the plug door. What a mess. Boeing used to know how to do this, then capital took over. Outsource your manufacturing and QA, see what happens.

British Airtours 5390 had a window blowout because of improper fasteners being used, it almost caused the commander to be pulled out the window. Cabin crew held onto his legs while he lay on the aircraft's nose. Pressure hulls are serious shit. Like the Alaskan accident, this was not actually at full cabin pressure either.

Perhaps they couldn't find the fasteners because there weren't any...

One of the most beautiful things in the world remains the moment in one of the final Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 cutscenes where Tim Curry _barely_ holds it together. Both that it exists, and that that's the take they went with.
