Try to get a piece 'o Elizabeth Warren? An "Elizabeth Warren-Piece" if you will?
The novelization would be many chapters shorter than the original Tolstoy work, I imagine...

SCS - please, please, PLEASE move east along I-80 to New York (and on to Boston): IN + OH + PA + NY are 8% of 50 states, but have *18%* of US Population. If you continue to go North to South and West to East, NY is 18 DLC (and **10 years**) away. Go east, *62%* of the US Pop covered in just 4 years.

I remember buying that one at this hobby shop at the corner of Santa Theresa Blvd and Snell Avenue in...gosh...maybe 1980? That was also my go-to for Athearn model railroad stuff. And balsawood airplane kits. Such at time to be a tween. <3

If they keep going the way they're going (top to bottom, left to right), we get the most populous states in another decade.
OH in Nov 2031, FL in Nov 2034, PA in May 2035, NY in Nov 2035, NJ in May of 2036, and Massachusetts in Nov 2037.
Unacceptable.

Hmm... I never ran into an issue with insistence of wanting the app on the phone. One of the reasons I do like Threads is that it's Fediverse-aware - and you can turn on Fediverse Sharing in settings under Account, and then you could be found from Mastodon as @[email protected]

And thank you for having your Bluesky link higher than your X link.
You need a Threads link to match your Facebook link, though.
And maybe Instagram while you're at it, since Insta and Threads and Facebook all play nice with each other.

I like the idea, but what I really want more than anything else (for us no-time-busy-life players) is a 100% proportional discount. 0% completion is 999 GE.
Did you get it 25% done? 749 GE.
Did you get 56k of 100k points in the 3 hours you could play? Great! complete the other 44% for 440 GE.

I DO hope SCS abandons the North to South + West to East progression and heads straight across Interstate 80 and bring the bulk of the US Population their "local" regions to drive in - IL, IN, OH, PA, NY, NY, MA
THEN continue across I-10 MS, AL, FL, GA
then backfill the rest. 10y is a LONG wait.

The past has been released N to S + W to E
...but it's been 10 years, and *most* US players still can't drive near "home".
Consider DLC planning that follows I-80 and the population heatmap? e.g.
IN-OH-PA-NY-NJ
MI-MN-WI
MA+CT+RI+VT+NH+ME
AL+MS
FL+GA+SC
TN+NC

I have little trust here. I think that banning Members of Congress from trading stocks would just push the problem into an arena that would be harder to track. I think a better solution would be starting 535 (Congressmember XYZ) funds that perform automated 'mirror' trades /1

I will be so very sad if this doesn't include Hot Shot Trucking opportunities with that F-150 (that can tow 11,500 pounds) - there's demand for it, and the success that creators like Jon Ruda and Frank Brasil and Nimit have had show that the demand for "LTL" and smaller trucks is definitely there.

I really like living in a world where I can open an app or visit a website and ask questions and get answers with multiple sources linked (and I visit the sources to confirm). I do this because Google sucks and LLMs are a better search engine. that's awesome. Don't want it in my OS, though.

Not gonna lie... I do kinda (slighly, a little bit, a wee shred) feel bad for people that did a 36 month lease on their Tesla in 2023...

I'd never go ad-supported. I use the Family version primarily because of the 1TB OneDrive included for $100.
Yes, there are better price/volume options, but I'm comfortable with how much I (dis)trust M$ for security vs. a 'better but unknown reputation' option like Icedrive at 3TB / $130.
