That car does look cool in a quirky way.

I'm guessing they think its a supercar engine.

 

That V10 is the definition of boat anchor.

 

Well, the Connaught Type D Syracuse GT is ugly, unreliable, costly to maintain, and was produced in small numbers in a shed, so it does technically qualify as a supercar.



Much like the French-made Aixam Mega Track, only Axiam had sense enough to buy a V12 from Merc, who had already done all of the engineering work needed to make the engine expensive and complex, rather than having to start from scratch.

 

 

 

I didn't realize this thing was still around!

 

That car is still going to be around when the sun burns out.



Anyway....


I don't often grocery-shop at Target, but I felt like I owed them my patronage now that they've dropped the strict mask requirement in municipalities which permit them to do so.

If it's an option in the city where you live, and you're fully vaccinated, it's ok to stop the hygiene theater.



And yes, it's ok to also feel a bit self-conscious and weird about doing so, given how many people are still keeping it up relative to the official statistics for % of population fully vaccinated.

Trends have to start somewhere.

(Also, Target's grocery selection is still as bad as I remember it being, in terms of produce, meat, and other fresh things.)

 

He's a witch! Get him!

 

I'm sorry sir, but you're going to have to sit over there...

 

 

Jesse identifies as female, has an engineering degree, is a college professor, and understands that the manager is over-worked and under-paid.



Be more like Jesse.

 

identifies as female only & actually is qualified / proffessional OR identifies as all of those claims?



Rich.

 

I guessed at the part about the manager (it seems like her vibe), but she is a college professor. Well, associate professor. Still young, not yet tenured. I will ask her about the manager thing.

 

She replies that, presuming the absence of any evidence to the contrary, she would tend to assume that the manager is not at fault, and rudely demanding to speak with them would not be her first step in pursuing remediation.

 

I decline almost everyone.

 

 

^ That is not a terrible beer.

 

^^ Woah, woah, easy there big guy . . . that's a pretty powerful endorsement to just be throwing out there.
