I was attractions at DCA around that time frame as well! Got to do a track walk of Indy, previewed changed attractions, and got to do Tower of Terror no-show rides when I was closing.

I used to work at the parks and loved just hanging out. There's a lot of work that went into forced perspective and theming. Disney has always leaned hard into escapism, and it's easy to see why someone would want to be reminded of easier years.

Federal Reserve System, often shorted to 'the Fed'

The Temeraire Series by Naomi Novik is one I go back to every now and then. Historical fiction where dragons serve the purpose of air force during the Napoleonic Wars in England. I stared reading, but also quite like the audible narration.

Good thing there's no history of any shady dealings prior, otherwise people might get ideas.

I hate that I know what this is. It's like a poor man's version of loss. I love it.

For free? Absolutely me, I knew well enough not to purchase the game, but I am curious just how bad it is.

Yeah, some youtube videos that cover basics and hiring a firm after a breech is pretty standard it feels.

Yeah, there's this weird agism I've seen. Maybe they think the 'young people' (30 years in this case) are bragging? I just view it as someone adding their context, nothing abhorrent ¯(ツ)/¯

'Man, I wish MTG had a slower release cadence'

So tired of these headlines

I hate how dated this is now

I wasn't really trying to do a Windows v Mac argument, just trying to acknowledge the sentiment at the time, even if it was driven by advertising

Yeah, that's what I was trying to get at. Apple was (and maybe still is I'm just not in the ecosystem) pushing really hard for the younger generation to have experience in their OS. Including donating devices to schools

Apple was also hitting student deals pretty hard at that time if I remember correctly. They've targeted students since nearly inception.

They're also journalist students. I'm not saying apple is the end-all-be-all, but at the time (and at least in my company still) a lot of graphics people use macs

Surprised the dude didn't have them fax it in at this point

Do not take me for some conjurer of cheap tricks!

I do my best to be a defensive driver, but there was one time a Mercedes was up my ass and I was able to keep pace next to a Caravan and effectively speed gate the two lanes. I'd be lying if I said it didn't make me smile.

Only as strong as your least paid worker.
