@paulbrislen @BriannaWu @delphijunkie I've taken a kid to 2 week sleep away camp in one, giant bag for kid, plus overnight bag for me. Plenty of room in the trunks, and a much more fun DC -> Rhode Island -> DC trip for me (top down over the Claiborne Pell bridge). I don't understand the hating on Boxsters either.

@kingsepp @RadioFreeTom @adityasood V was worse. You can at least excuse TMP on the fact that it was (a) made in the '70s and (b) clearly had someone on the team that liked 2001 a bit too much. Even ignoring the awful plot, Shatner free climbing El Capitan?

@swedishtoast @WashProbs Boy, Drug Fair. I used to work at one. And let's not forget Chess King and Woolworth's (and Woolco, now that I think about it).

@RadioFreeTom Or lift your break foot slightly. My wife's car has a button to turn it off if you wish. It's like a turbo, took a bit of getting used to and then it's second nature to adjust for when the lag ends and you start getting boost

@RadioFreeTom My grandfather lived with us from '67 to late '68 when he died. He loved Star Trek, and my family bought a color TV so that he could watch it. I used to sit and watch it with him. That and watching him build ship models are almost all the memories I have of him. TOS impacted many

@mikejason73 Just novels, but I recall assuming that Tom Clancy knew stuff about defense until he wrote Executive Orders, wherein he started talking about things I knew about. Once he did that, I wondered how much he actually knew about defense matters.

@Noahpinion I'm a biologist and it looks pretty ugly to me. I mean, it's really four narrow towers with awkward connections that have oddly shaped, and hard to use space.

@Carlsbad_Surfer @NavalInstitute Dunno - looks like a mix of Sangamon (the ships with the 'pinched' forward flight decks) and Casablanca (straight forward flight decks). Both classes had flight decks that were only 25' different.

@AnneNotation In '88 (ish) I bought a 600 MB drive for the biology department Vax because we were getting so much DNA sequence information (Genbank needed 2 TK50's!). It costs $9000. We'd never seen anything that big before ...

@lexfridman Hm, I've read 13 of these. You might sub Crime & Punishment for Karamazov. Also, NFic: Best & the Brightest, Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, Midnight in Chernobyl, Dereliction of Duty, Fic: Ancillary Justice, Wolf Hall+sequels, Canticle for Leibowitz, Earth Abides.

@unlmtdsky @ColleenVoisin @AshleyGWinter Pasadena is a nice place to live and most of the people at the parade were well mannered, but you always got a few jerks who would leave trash everywhere. That was the only year it was really bad, and it was a good excuse to go somewhere interesting since we weren't big NYE types

[George Komatsoulis @gak1965]

@ColleenVoisin @AshleyGWinter Pasadena winds up with a huge population increase from the 30th to the 1st with thousands of people camped out in Colorado Blvd. I'm not surprised that removing illegally parked vehicles was never a high priority. We started going away New Year's weekend and then moved elsewhere.

[George Komatsoulis @gak1965]

@AshleyGWinter For years we lived in Pasadena about 1/2 block from the Rose Parade route. One year, someone parked a pop-up camper trailer (with fixed legs set!) in front of the driveway to our apartment building (10 units) for three days. I wonder what makes someone think that is okay.

@marklewismd This feels massively sketch. I mean England ahead of, well, anyone? Ahead of Thailand? Ahead of the land of moule et frites, and Trappist ale? Ahead of the land of single malt? I think not.

@markhlyon @PoPville Gosh, been there forever. Not haute cuisine, but reliable if you need a quick dinner before a show at the National...

@WalshFreedom Hoffman was 30 at the time (and Anne Bancroft was only 36). He really didn't give off the 21 year old college student vibe.
