@scottalanmiller What about the Volt which has gas backup?

Agreed, I like the body style too. Of course they're constrained by the aerodynamics, but I like what they've done. One nice thing about the Leaf is the visibility in the back isn't as constrained as the Prius.

Our other car is the latest body style Prius, and I actually quite like it. The coolest thing about both cars is the interior and the technology, though. So many gadgets, features, and neat integrations.

Now that my wife got a job in Denver, we needed a second car so we could both commute to work. Found a nice 2013 Leaf that a dealer had left in inventory and got a good deal on it. Between that and the tax credits, half the car is already paid for It's a perfect commuter car, and I'm really digging driving it and all the geeky features. Until an affordable Tesla comes out, this is the next best thing:

Glad you like it lance! That reminds me, if anyone is using the global site manager console, we just released a big update to it yesterday:

Yeah, it was funny - I did show the videos to our threat researchers and they had some of the same sentiments as you. I'll have to dig up some videos we have on testing to see if we can get something that has more technical depth.

Aereo is actually going to pivot their business model. They're going to take all the unwanted children born to Hobby Lobby employees who can't afford birth control, and sell them to consumers to stand outside their houses and hold up TV antennas. Win win!

I picked up the two main games I wanted, which were Transistor and Broforce.

You can fail at reading a book. Like Ulysses by James Joyce

I do love Aero bars. In the US Hershey's launched Air Delight as a competitor, so I'm happy about that too.

I beat 2048 in a day - but I'm a veteran Threes player, and that is a much harder game.

@scottalanmiller nope, still under copyright: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mickey_Mouse

As far as I'm concerned, copyright is dead. With the continued extension of copyright into perpetuity, congress and the people who fund them have stolen from me all of the stuff that should by now be in the public domain. They steal from me, I steal from them in return.

That was actually well done

In my case the dream job was CM of reddit, when they were hiring a few years back. Seeing what is going on with them today makes me glad I didn't get it. It was down to me and the guy who ended up getting the job, and he won out.

Sometimes missing your dream job can be a blessing in disguise. I came in second for what I thought was my dream job, but today I'm glad I didn't get it.

@david.wiese dammit! back to pirating I go

@scottalanmiller yeah, we're having problems here on it.

I think your stance makes sense Scott. Always better to take the high road if possible, and any necessary ranting can always be taken offline somewhere
