You've got it backwards. Daylight Savings Time just ended. We are now back to "normal" time.

But it feels so abnormal...

just about everybody in the place turned around and stared at me like I am an alien.

Many years ago when my dad lived in Santa Barbara, you should have seen the looks when I asked for the smoking section in a restaurant... I felt like a criminal!!

I quit smoking (tobacco) years ago.

I ask for the farting section now.

why does the phone at work have to ring after like 1:30? i have enough to do, i don't need more piled on that we, for some strange reason, try way to damn hard to get out the door same day. very annoying. also not great for the stress level.

Will the real 1/10 please stand up?
All of these are called 1/10, but the closest one is the smallest.
All but the Hammer Rey are based on an early Bronco.
A 1:1 early Bronco w.b. is 92", the smallest here is almost 10". Still a touch too big, but close.
Oh well, just a bored observation

yeah at some point it appears they started basing scale off tire/wheel size.

Or cost maybe....

And they're all part of my "Closeout Collection "!

That can't be it. The SCX24 uses 1.0" wheels. I have never seen a 1:1 rock crawler use a 24" wheel.

I think they base it on how long the engineer can withstand shots to the groin from a paintball gun. If they give up after 21 to 27 shots, that's a 24th scale

One in twenty four will buy this one.....one in ten will want this one

This cap on a soda bottle was unbelievably tight. I legitimately went to the tool box and grabbed the vice grips to get it open...

I open as many bottles with channel locks as I do without!
I'd use a damned drill if I could figure out how to keep the plastic shavings out of the bottle!
Maybe an impact gun and a socket with a hammer...

Childproof items... only a child can get them open or figure out how to unlock or make them work.
Utter nonsense to any grown person!

That's the universe telling you to drink less soda.

First snow today. Just enough to make a mess. $?_$(%*
Oh well, at least I didn't have to listen to my neighbors leaf blower at 8am again!
