We went to dinner and a comedy in June of LAST Year. Now granted we don't go out as much as we used to, but we still go out. We just had some friends come down to visit and took them to brunch at one of our favorite spots. Been to a few more comedy shows, Mark Normand is fantastic. And we have tickets for a metal show next month.

Like you mentioned in another thread, I'm not wearing a mask everywhere, but if a business wants me to, I don't see an issue with it. Just like many businesses don't allow people in without shirt/shoes.

But as far as work? We both work from home. I've been working from home since March of last year and we recently found out they are likely to just close the OKC office and I will be WFH permanently.

They aren't THAT heavy, it's not just panels they took out. Seat is gone, windshield glass, half the interior, half the fuel tank, almost all of whatever the engine bay components are on that side of a LHD car. There's also no drivetrain, so that's exaggerating the effect because the removed weight is proportionally more.

I hate poorly conceived websites. Why was there no hint as to how to contact customer service. Could be instructions, a phone number, a hot link to the Customer Service Messaging part of the website.

All you engineers, Do the world a favor.... Purchase and read the latest addition of "The Design of Everyday Things" by Don Norman... Then apply the principles.

For my Flahridah friends:



EDIT: And, yes, I'm aware that the cake decorator at Publix got the direction of rotation wrong for the northern hemisphere.

It's Florida, man. We can assume that they were not sober at the time.

^^ Listening right at the end, it sounds like it was a Covid lockdown related dispute. Seems Australians are going nuts.
