Of all of the indignities of modern air travel, at least we don’t have 20 people making the most mundane phone calls whilst we’re all stuck in a metal tube 10 km up.

Final drive for a BMW motorcycle. Don't tell my spouse.

It's up to you to punish them for their hubris.

My favourite hat; it's the one I keep in my 996 for windows-down driving.

This is why my licence plate is "VW ish". If a so-called enthusiast gets upset about it, then I've weeded them out of my life. These dudes take themselves and their incredibly subjective opinions way too seriously.

Ah, yes, just what adaptations of H.G. Wells's novel really needed: Zoom calls and stock footage from DVIDS.

Gyeongbokgung and Changdeokgung palaces are amazing, as is the Jongmyo Shrine. Walking around the hanok villages is also fun (Ikseon-Dong was a cute shopping area in old neighbourhood). There's also the Insa-Dong and Namdaemun districts (I spent pretty much all my time in Jongno-gu).

I don’t know how to sufficiently express to all companies everywhere that I don’t want the item/service I use to have a social component. β€œWant to share what you’re listening to amongst your friends?” NO! I want to listen to the same terrible song 100 times and not be judged.

I swear next year it'll all work. The roadster will come out, the semi will be everywhere, and full self driving will totally be 100x safer than a human. Trust me, bro.

In all honesty: I block -- at first sight -- every account I see sharing genAI crap here. Draw or write poorly: you'll get better over time. Don't give your hobbies away to the Gaslighting Engine.

Controversial opinion: the new mechanics are a welcome improvement, but the new arc is bad and imo weakens the story as it didn't feel suitably integrated. I am absolutely in the minority on that last point.
