Front looks too ‘yota for that price, but I otherwise… like it? Not sure I’d pay the premium over a Crown though.

I remember moving to Illinois from DC in like 2nd/3rd grade and doing something at school related to Pulaski and being VERY, VERY confused as to… why 😅🤣

There’s been a pushback against PDFs in education circles over accessibility concerns (screen readers often struggle with them); but yeah, this would be a dumb way for them to die

All the overnight options are pretty bad between Indy and DFW: I usually do an uneven split with Little Rock as the stopover- I hate driving through Oklahoma. Wish I could white knuckle it in one day!

The missing x here is transit infrastructure: I regularly fly between Dallas and Indy: the problem is the infrastructure between airports and home. When we lived in Arlington, the Uber/Lyft from DFW would be almost as much as the plane ticket! Now we live in the West End of Dallas and it’s $3…

Terrible design, especially in the face of the very positive press the company got from CR recently for safety-focused controls!

I have a daily active chat with four of my HS friends and I’ve seen all of them in person in the last few months (in three different cities no less!)

To make troubleshooting worse, my setup is a Mac Mini and an audio interface (Audient Evo4, which is also a pile of garbage)
