This is my mantra. Maintainability is king. I can't convince anyone designing our systems that this is more important than fancy 3rd party libraries that add some capability that only a couple of people will ever understand how to use, but will find it's way throughout the codebase and be a thorn in the side of bug fixes and new features for years.

About 20 years ago, there was a website devoted to Batman covers demonstrating that he was a jerk. I printed a bunch of them and hung them up at work. Boy, I wish that website hadn't disappeared. It was great fun.

I'm sorry Dave, but I'm afraid I can't do that, because I don't recognize your face.

Teenwolf.

Caddyshack. Happy Gilmore a close second.

Bend it Like Beckham, or Victory.

Edit: Bad News Bears or Major League.

Seems like people don't know their Sting like they used to.

I'm in a red state. I'm in a neighborhood with a lot of of retired Republicans. I don't see a single Trump sign, but there is a growing count of Harris signs, including "Republicans for Harris." ymmv

I was going to just ask, "Why?!" but I think you summed it up pretty well.

I've sort of been forced over to Mac (not that it's a bad thing, just a thing), and Paint.NET is perhaps my biggest loss in that transition. I've loved that program since its early days, and is always one of my first installs on any new Windows installation.

I hate that I must agree with you. You probably do as well.

Are these cars capable of passing U.S. automotive safety rules? Or is this argument moot because they can't be legally used on U.S. roads?

It's a sad commentary on our society. It isn't nearly as healthy as I mistakenly thought it was 10 years ago -- clearly I overestimated how well things were going. That this many would throw away The Great Experiment just boggles the mind.

I'm a paranoid sort. If I paraded a quarter of the signs, flags, offensive bumper stickers, et. al., of some of my neighbors in my red state, I would just expect that my property would be vandalized, my family threatened, my life endangered. I'm intentionally avoiding showing up on any "lists" that might be composed regarding people from different tribes. It's not right that this is a problem, but it is reality.

Considering this was a spur of the moment snap from the car, and with my phone, I'm happy how it turned out.
