Funny that this came up in my feed on Threads. Last week my vacuum needed a new belt. I encountered the same problem. Only Walmart had vacuum belts. Not Home Depot, Menards, Target, or Meijer.

I paused the video of Qatar GP qualifying when they showed Kimi Antonelli's garage. Mercedes puts the lat-long of the race on the garage floor. I entered the coordinates and they actually come up outside the Lusail circuit. They're for an access road. I figured they'd use coords for the pits. #F1

This is not "mathing." Investors should bail if this is their plan. The revenue is peanuts based on their planned expenditures. The revenue is not going to hockey-stick like they're thinking.

I'm setup for the extended Windows 10 updates, yet they're still pushing to update to Windows 11. If someone made the explicit decision to stick with Windows 10, it should be pretty obvious they have no interest in 11.

I was looking at Google Street View of the Albanese Candy Factory & Outlet in NW Indiana. In 2013, the Street View car captured an air conditioning unit being delivered by helicopter. maps.app.goo.gl/dTsMGWKtMcRg...

Holy shit. This can't be right. I missed the selling price, but I think it was at least $200,000. There must be something special about these posters.

This dragster went for only $5,000. It was built for a driver with a spinal cord injury, so it had special controls for steering, accelerating, and braking. I think everything is being sold without a reserve, so some stuff will go for not much money.

Wow, this sold for $180,000. It's crazy how much people will spend on a car.

They do list the auction results by highest bid, so that does provide some context.

I caught the end of this episode of The Price is Right. Bob Barker said the audience hated the shirt he was wearing, except for one guy in the front row. Bob took his shirt off and gave it to the guy. Hence Bob being shirtless except for his jacket and tie.

Probably the only photo of a Lancia Fulvia with an Oscar Mayer Wienermobile in the background. From today's car show on the grounds of the former Meadowdale International Raceway.

I accidentally opened Twitter and this was at the top of my feed. That place is such garbage. But bravo, Scotty Mac.

Interesting pattern for aerial data collection. Usually it's back and forth across an area.

Whoa, check out this convoy of Cirrus planes. It would be bad-ass if they were all cleared to land one after the other.

Oof. These folks flew up from Kansas and they've had to go around twice. Hopefully they don't need to use the bathroom.

I guess if you enjoy flying it's probably no big deal if you have to turn around and go all the way to the back of the line flying into Oshkosh.
