I look forward to reading Mr. Boop along with this thread. Transmodiar posted:Modesty Blaise has six adventures left, friends. Let's enjoy them while we can! I also look forward to this Satanic Panic Modesty Blaze! Notice how the story is ostensibly set in California, but the steering wheel is on the wrong side of that landrover (or else it's a British import for some reason)

Parahexavoctal posted:In this installment of The Timid Soul (January 25, 1937), look at the buildings outside the window, look at the head of the match in Caspar's hand, and as always, look at the reflections beneath Caspar's feet. They've been in use in the US since 1874. I'm not sure when they became common in office buildings, but I imagine it was sometime around the turn of the century.

My highschool girlfriend hit me from that distance in a minivan (it was an accident). Cars go faster than you might think.

And if Dethany can get Trellis to agree to a hybrid office/remote work environment, that will be a good cultural shift for the company. I don't think there's anything wrong with Dethany recommending her friend for the role.

Crab Dad posted:My house was made in the late 80s and I have a laundry chute under my master bathroom sink. It’s not very useful. Sooner or later I’m gonna alter it to be a safe at the top and shelving at the bottom. The house I grew up in (50s construction, maybe?) had a laundry chute from the upstairs to the basement. It wasn't terribly useful. I think we mostly just carried baskets of dirty clothes down the stairs (or shoved them, and they hopefully slid down like a sled rather than tumbling and spilling clothes everywhere). The laundry chute came in handy when, as a teenager, I used it to run ethernet from my bedroom down to the DSL modem.

Doomykins posted:It has been a fun experiment and better than what was done before but Mark Trail is really beginning to stink. I think Jules needs a writer/editor partner really badly. Just anybody to point out how weird and confusing everything is, or how unsatisfying or impossible it is. Mark Trail now has two non-plots going on that can only end in 100% legal actions where our heroes fail. People keep asserting that there's an HOA involved. I don't think that's ever been said. I think the rich snobby people are busybodies who ripped out Cherry's plants and installed their own. I'm enjoying nu-Trail. Coherent and reasonable plots are overrated.

CommonShore posted:One of the things that bugs me the most about Dustin - among many things that bug me about Dustin - is how they seem to represent the family as a regular everyday middle class family when in reality he's a rich loving lawyer and she's a quasi-celebrity radio host, meaning that they're multimillionare bourgeois shitbirds. You vastly overestimate how much local radio personalities get paid. They're well off, mostly thanks to his job, but they're not _that_ well off. Haifisch posted:I missed this earlier, but: gently caress you Ed. I've been to fancy restaurants 2, maybe 3 times in my life and I understand that the point is the ambiance and the quality of food. If you're just looking to get the most food for your buck, there's a billion chain restaurants, buffets, and cheap diners you could have gone to instead. The thing that surprises me about fine dining every time I do it is that the portions look small, but there are always several courses so at the end I'm pleasantly satiated.

riderchop posted:On The Fastrack I know Holbrook is stuck in the late 90s, but the current practice is to treat servers like livestock, not pets. If servers are treated like individuals, they're a lot harder and more resource intensive to replace when something goes wrong. Powered Descent posted:Ten years ago, this might have been accurate. But since then, there's been a huge shift toward treating servers as cattle instead of pets. Seriously, google around for something like "servers cattle pets" and you'll find a zillion articles about it. The idea is that instead of carefully tending to the needs of your particular collection of servers for years on end, you arrange things so that virtualized server instances are easily brought online for some specific purpose, and then casually destroyed when no longer needed. (Which might make an even better comparison to employment practices today, but I suppose it'll have to wait for Holbrook's understanding of the Internet to catch up.)

Antifa Turkeesian posted:I’m way behind on this for sure, but I don’t know where to go to find out the answer: what happened to Mark Trail? I remember when jackelrod died, but it’s been a few years since I looked at it. The short version is that it was taken over by a guy named James Allen, who was a bit of a climate change denier. Turns out he was also an idiot, because he used the @MarkTrail twitter account to harass congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. King Features fired him without a lot of ceremony and hired Jules Rivera to take over. She's having fun with it.
