Love the aesthetic. Looks like it could be trick portable too!

He owed an Austin Martin dealership. The car is a rare model worth far more than its sticker.

From what I understand about the new car business, I'd almost guarantee this car was floorplanned / purchased by the dealership itself (which he owned) and which then sold it for the final and ludacris sum listed.

I don't doubt he is an out of touch candidate, with zero connection to his constituency and probably terrible ideas on governance, but this storey itself is slightly less remarkable than the headline suggests.

Excel wouldn't stop converting sku numbers to date formats. IT guy was excited to share an "easy fix" for that with Open Office...

When I saw his genuine excitement as he described Linux, plus the security it provided I realized, if I ran Linux I'd have the best support in the company. And I did.

I eventually had to move on from Linux at work after 10yrs or so but it's all I run at home.

All because of Excel and those fucking date codes. Which yes, Open Office solved as advertised.

And yes I know you don't need Linux for that but it was a long time ago.

I find that last bit true with non-thong underwear as well.

I never played Fallout. Really enjoying the show.

I would say it definitely has a video game feel, that is they're on a quest, within some kind of a side quest, additional characters seem like NPCs, and the chase just seems to go on.

No real complaint in that, it might be the best story version of a video game I've seen, but once you pick up on it it's hard not to shake the thought.

You're saying it's fake, is it also, perhaps, happy in an old timey way?

I'm kinda surprised someone hasn't done that yet, just as an "fuck you" to whichever country they are beefing with at the moment.

Like buy a bunch of expensive real-estate, and get locals to live there as a flop house and piss off the neighborhood.

I mean, I'm also not surprised but still.

The Midwestern American term is "Shitbird".

Everything the other comments have said here tracks with the Great Lakes variety.

Filthy, assholeish, with a trash based Lord of the Flies culture.
