@Matt Did you bring out the gimp or did you go medieval?

[Matt]

I definitely showed a side of myself that Caroline doesn’t get to see too often. We were walking the dog together in the park across the street when I spotted him and I just told her to wait there for a minute while I descended upon him.

[Matt]

Honestly, the best part of this is as seeing how in tune with me Ava is. She definitely has my back. As soon as I started yelling at the dude she went into attack mode. We must have looked pretty menacing.

[ROman]

@Matt And Ava probably remembers how you had her back, when you saved her and you were attacked in New Mexico.......

[Matt]

She’s my girl.

It's so hard not to rage here daily.

My little souvenir from Zurich. Can’t believe it took so long. Was there last December, only had an email from the car rental company end of Jan. by the time I got the letter we’re almost in March.. so much for paying within 30days

As a general rule, we will:

• Publish a release date for a product as soon as we are reasonably confident it will not change
• Publish sizing as soon as we have measured the production run. Measurements of samples are totally irrelevant, they may have been tweaked between sampling and production One of the key reasons for sampling is to check sizing/how the cut fits/how the fabric behaves etc etc
• If sizes change between production runs we will say so, and republish a sizing table

Our goal is to sell as much stuff as possible with the minimum of fuss and minimal returns. So not telling you what is going on and what the actual sizing of product is, would be totally counter productive.

3km/h too fast. You monster!

[ZackB]

@RobeOfTheMagi thought the same thing haha

[louisbosco]

in all honestly 1) I've just driven over from Germany. 2) Waze told me the road was 60km/h. damn the swisss

[goosehd]

@louisbosco I wonder if you can claim that it was a calibration issue with the car's speedometer and as far as you could tell you were driving the posted speed limit.

But then again, it may be worth just paying it...

No way........We don't get away with shit that easy over here

And for approx USD40 I'd pay and forget......

[louisbosco]

@goosehd yeah I read that the Swiss bureaucracy is a bitch to navigate. technically, they've already knocked 5km/h off. for what it's worth, I've compared Waze to most new cars digital speedo and the tolerance is 1km/hr.

it's quite an improvement from the traditional dials

[louisbosco]

@Giles same thoughts

[goosehd]

Well, that’s no fun and rules me out from ever driving a Porsche there…

[Tago Mago]

@goosehd why would you want to drive a Porsche? Are you having gentleman issues?

[goosehd]

@Tago-Mago I’m in my 50’s…

Porsche is probably my favorite automotive marque for road and racing cars. I love their aesthetics and engineering and they’re good at making practical performance cars. This has been the case since my late teens, so I don’t think it’s a midlife crisis thing unless I just did it backwards: before that it was all Ferrari.

I am still a McLaren loyalist in F1 but I love Ferraris drivers and principal.

@mclaincausey my dream car as a kid was a 928S. Always loved Porsche
