I caught the Greyhound from LA to Utah
I once rode a Greyhound from Flagstaff to Las Vegas, and two things stand out about the experience. First, in the bus station there was a large wall clock with a sign directly affixed to the face that said, "Yes, this is the correct time." Second, a guy got kicked off in Laughlin after he started a fight, thus missing his party in Vegas to celebrate his release from prison.

That is classic.

I feel like it's a perfect encapsulation of both Greyhound and Las Vegas.

Wasn’t some guy decapitated on a Grey Hound awhile back? That was enough to keep me from taking the Grey Hound forever [emoji107]

Waaaaaaay crazier than just a decapitation.
But that was in Canada. You know what those people are like…

i'm not sure how i feel against self driving cars.
at the moment i'm well against it. and not just from a car enthusiast background. but self driving cars do create a lot of legal what ifs and extensions into things that we have no precedence for. you can take away the human side of driving and yet technology do fail in certain scenarios. not to mention it's only the driving you're taking the human input away from. you can't remove human input or error on the sidewalk, cross junctions and stuff.
it creates this new aspect as to 'who's to blame' as you cannot legally charge AIs at the moment. they're not 'a person' in the eyes of the law.

Half the assholes on the road are texting. That's artificial intelligence.

Ok.
Any Winehouse is better than Adele. ::hangs head::I was wrong

@UnTucked at a cafe this morning they were playing the two artists back to back a few times and while I do love Adeles music. Amy Winehouse is superior.

It’s definitely a big part of their design aesthetic/image. There’s text everywhere. I can see why those who dislike overt branding get put off.
EDIT: Been thinking about this today. It's a valid opinion, as it is a matter of taste. There's a lot of GAH stuff without obvious text branding though (excluding the rosette motif). Of the eight seperate pieces I wear daily (two rings, three pendants, a BLB, and two chains), only the pendants and the BLB have text branding visible on them.
Personally I'm a sucker certain types of branding, especially when it is well integrated into the item in question. I love the chains with text branding on every damn link for example.
Your unpop op has me visualising hard what GAH would be like if they dropped it entirely. My conclusion is less interesting (to me at least). Good post.

I'm not a jewelery guy but I tend to look at the GAH stuff this way: if they didn't have a certain level of branding i'm sure the counterfeit market would have a hay day stealing their stuff and passing it off as their own. I think someone on this forum mentioned that there are already counterfeiters out there trying to copy/sell GAH stuff. Even though i'm not a big fan of unnecessary branding it makes sense for GAH to brand their jewelery in a way that deters theft.
