Luxury stuff is so weird these days

It is way before my times, but was the 50s pervaded by "space" stuff in the marketing of every product? Obviously that was less nefarious.

Our fiber connection was down almost all day (probably because of the Crowdstrike-thing that occured today), so I didn't get any break from entertaining the kids as I couldn't sit them down to watch some Netflix.

I'd say I'm shocked that such a widespread piece of software screwed up that badly, but then, it's not the first time half the internet was at risk of crumbling over some dumb mistake.

I'm happy about this though, because now if the software I'm developing has an issue, I have an example so I can say "look, even the big boys fuck up sometimes"

That's largely why I'm trying to get a Hilux or an older Tacoma.

Is there a specific year of Tacoma that you like?
I'm not a car guy (don't even own one!), but I love the older smaller Tacomas. I always walk by this one in my neighborhood, and always think to myself, "god, what a sick truck"

Makes me happy to see people take care of older cars that aren't "classics", too.

Bring back the Plymouth Horizon.

Bring back the Dodge Stratus! I had a 98 that was super solid, worst issue it had was needing a wheel bearing.

Plus the mileage I got out of the Will Ferrell/I drive a dodge stratus joke on SNL.... Priceless.

I'm not really looking for a specific year. Most of the stuff still on the road in my area (MN is extremely hard rust wise on cars) is less than 20 years old. All I know is I want something with very minimal onboard electronics, so it's either new Hilux or a beat to shit probably pre 2008 Tacoma.





I couldn't get propane for my grill today because their system was down and I didn't have cash.

This is exactly why I'm looking into importing a hilux or getting an older tacoma rather than a new one.

I'll forever have a soft spot for the Hilux after visiting my uncle in Trinidad for Carnival as a teenager, bombing around the island in the bed of a Gen6 built like this one drinking Caribs

Ohio is a cultural wasteland. I fucking hated living there when I was doing travel nursing
