One of the things that amazes me most about present times is just how clear it's become that so much of the lives of us ordinary folks is dictated by this incestuous circle of elites and the ultra wealthy. There's always been a degree of that, but I feel like these assholes at least used to pretend.

As if travel doesn't suck enough, let's make the plane smell like a mens locker room while we're at it.

Weird this was an ad. Even weirder they felt it necessary to throw in the detail that he conjured this up while cross-country skiing.

Cruelty is the point. That's all I can infer from this. Traumatize immigrants so they leave and others are dissuaded from coming. Regardless of views on immigration, these are human beings. Decent folks don't treat other human beings like this. Full stop. That should be an apolitical statement.

At EPRI, we had an EMP test setup in the parking lot down in Charlotte. My half-assed understanding was that it worked by whacking a series of what are essentially antennas with a steep front transient from an impulse generator. Sure there was more to it than that.

Word. If one of my daughters brings home a dude who has the culinary foresight to slap some pickles on an already kick ass grilled cheese, well shit. Come on in, son.

If the occasional pedestrian gets clipped so that I don't have to socialize, well that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

You're missing the most important benefit of Waymo...there's no pressure to make awkward small talk with a driver. You just sit in comfortable silence and set the music to whatever the heck you want.

Who said anything about performative? Maybe we're just cranky SOBs naturally, on a good day. Only god damn perk that comes with middle-age.

I just spent the night at IAD this past weekend and it wasn't terrible. Concourse A/B is relatively nice. C/D could perhaps use a refresh, but certainly not the worst. The people mover thing is a bit of a pain in the ass. Just slap some gold appliques up and call 'er done.

These assholes aren't the most capable private citizens. No doubt they believe that, but they're just moderately capable folks who had extraordinary luck. There are many, many people of far greater capability who never have the good fortune to be in the right place at the right time.
