A hotdog and pretzel stand with large hanging bottles of mustard, ketchup, and mayonnaise. The bottoms contain squeeze tubes to dispense the condiments.

I have been traveling and today I present to you...the thing I saw in the Frankfurt airport.

Is it efficient? Undeniably. Does it probably work better than the normal way? Oh certainly. Produce less of a mess? Probably?

But the existence of Condiment Udders gives me a deep, aghast disquiet.

It exists, but I am not convinced either. Most things are better when breaded and fried in lots of oil, but this probably isn't one of them.

Breaded cabbage?

You really need to go here: seattlereconomy.org/event/fix-it..., even if only to vent in person.

I have yet to visit the Shoreline Tool Library, but even if they are only half as awesome as their NE Seattle brethren, I will bet you 5 cans of smoked oysters that something good is going to happen.

Love the 300 series. I started my career on a 320, then got a 350, and then it was 700s and eventually PCs. But the tank-like construction of the 300s was something else.

That's some way to unite the passengers: In disbelief. But I am sure they made it good for you, with food and drink, and goodwill, freebies and extra frequent flier miles, right?

HAHA, just kidding.

Still hauntingly beautiful, 30 years later. Do yourself a favour and listen to this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Epgo...

Agree. I never thought I would say this, but for a precious few years, Windows 10 was actually very good software, especially in combination with OneDrive. Less irritating than macOs, even. Now it is getting so bad that even Linux on the Desktop looks good by comparison, again.

I don't think you will be able to resist trying. And of course you will eventually succeed.

I hope you have some of these meshy things clipped on top of your gutters, so 95% of those pine needles get trapped on top of them. This makes it easy to ... oh .... guess I forgot something too.

Then of course there is the Czech ČSD T 478.3, whose nickname in German would be Taucherbrille (diving goggles). Personally I think it has a bit of a Minion vibe.

Do DMUs count? If they do, that would be the Danish IC3 "Gumminase". The first time I came across one, I squealed with delight.

Back in my sauna days, we used to take ice-cold showers and roll in the snow to cool off. But I could probably get used to cooling from the inside.

OIC. The "co" in "co-working" stands for "cocktail". Now it all makes sense.

Vibe code COM.

However, if your licensing is not kosher, they'll probably still come after you 30+ years later.

Earlier today at Costco, I heard the siren song of an IR sauna. Now this. I am doomed.

Oh no. No no no no no. Should not have looked up what a "Creami" is. PLEASE don't tell my family.

And I I am afraid of what the future holds

Amtrak?

I will always remember the first episode I heard, Episode 6, "99% symbolic". Such a work of art! And if I ever need a laugh, I re-listen to the outro. "Vexollological Association". 🤣

I enjoyed this. And what an infectious laugh. ❤️

Very much so, especially if you are able to design adapters between things that are almost what you want and you can buy for cheap, and the environment that they have to work within. Like you have done.

Do you know what the tariff situation is with them?

That's what struck me when I first moved to Spokane. So many people did cool stuff, because there weren't nearly as many distractions as in a bigger city.
Boredom is a good thing.

Oh, so you have reached That Age.

Wait - do you still get raises?
