But, never turn your back on an angus cow.

Oh I do. I have quite a few Spotify playlists, including one that contains every track from every album I've ever owned, with a few hundred single tracks thrown in.
It's about 10k tracks in total, played on shuffle, and I still surf.

You wouldn't want to ride with me, then.
I generally don't secure the seatbelt until I'm moving forward. Not sure why, but I've always done it.

I'll mess with the rearview mirror often, as my position in the seat may shift, and I can't stand it when the view in the mirror isn't centered.

As for the radio... I channel surf like mad. 40 presets and I'll scan through them all before deciding on something that I never stay on very long. My wife can, not, stand it. lol But, the radio controls are on the steering wheel, so doing so isn't a distraction.

In the past, when I drove any of my vehicles that had a manual transmission, I had a habit of rattling the gearshift at stoplights. People who rode with me didn't like that either.

The rose-colored glasses you're wearing must have really thick lenses.
Anyone who thinks that this one act will change anything is out of their minds.

Giant corporations exist to make money to satisfy the shareholders and pay those at the top exorbitant paychecks. They don't give the first flying fuck about their employees or customers, and this one act isn't going to change a damn thing.

We all wish it will, but I'm sorry to say, but it won't.

This is likely the result of someone further up the chain, accidentally messing up a work-order, and the team doing the work just blindly doing what it says.

I can't stand people who work with blinders on and never ask logical questions even when they know the work being done is a stupid waste of time and resources.

I would have killed for 20Gb of space in 1999 on my personal PC. People ran with nowhere near that much space back then.

I was also the administrator of an HP mainframe at that time, and we ran the whole business on about 5Gb, and paid big $$$ for it.

But... I thought he said we wouldn't have to vote ever again?

Hobbes obviously tied him up.

I've always seen Hobbes similar to the toys in Toy Story, but Calvin is the only one he shows himself to.

The urinals didn't tip her off?

Because I wouldn't want people to kill me after the 24 hours is over... I would go with the Pink Floyd album, Meddle, mostly for Echoes (six tracks). Then the Jean-Michel Jarre album, Oxygène (another six). Then some good trip-hop tracks for something to move to.
Maybe Supreme Beings of Leisure, Ghetto. Moloko, Fun for Me. Morcheeba, Blood Like Lemonade.

The whole album is perfection, but this is one of the standout tracks.
