You skipped the second? So have I, but I didn’t think that would be viable before the third!

Yes, I agree that Car Play and Android Auto are massive improvements. I'm saying that the stupidity of REMOVING support for those to go for embedded systems will drive people like me back to Bluetooth audio when we'd rather have Car Play or Android Auto.

Or people will be like me and hate all of the built-in crap and settle for Bluetooth audio. Yay, automakers just doing amazing work. Good job. My sarcasm knows no bounds.

Stayed up too late watching you and Kyle going through the first two episodes. Good stuff. My wife is excited that we have the next few nights’ entertainment sorted. <grin>

Remind yourself that you’re not a good enough actor to really be an imposter, the only logical conclusion is that it’s real.
Alternatively, you should be in the blockbuster pictures because you’re an amazing actor!

I first learned this from Congressional Dish, a podcast that pays attention to the laws that Congress actually passes while ignoring politics, elections, races, etc. Highly recommended!

Same with the golden era of SNL. All the classic skits from the past when they used to be good! Like...fifty skits across two decades! Oh wait, that's not a really great number.

As if Valve isn’t “the employees.”
Valve just baffles everyone who’s used to all the big companies, huh?

After knowing your name since it graced the pages of PC Gamer issues that I’ve still got stashed, today I learned that you’ve got a [quite classy] British accent! Everything is topsy-turvy in my world!

As a Californian who spent time in Texas, I 100% did not adopt the local ways of speaking. Accent or idioms. Same thing, I wanted to bring home with me, not adapt myself to where I went.

Steel? That’s just processed rock. You told me rock was terrible, now that I’m all in on wood, you want me to go back to rock? Besides, wood is useful for more. Like ships. Can’t build ships from your stupid rock steel stuff. Gotta float. Rocks are dumb. All hail wood!
