Beyond the obvious bad things about this, it appalls me that, with all the money being squandered on this stupid goon squad, someone is pinching pennies on the training budget. Jesus.

I think he's hitting the age where he has some kind of dim realization that he doesn't actually know how to make things... but since he doesn't know how to fix them, either, he treats it as a messaging problem.

Someone needs to teach these poor little rich boys some arts & crafts.

snow, hell, I'm waiting to find out how long we've got before every one of the damn things has a raccoon riding along on top trying to pick the lock.

I have spent a truly absurd amount of time in an Amtrak roomette, and it's significantly better than the same amount of time on an airplane.

Room to work, scenery to watch, and a nice space to nap. Excellent stuff.

There is, and it translates as "only for Japanese broadcast"

I admit, I looked at the picture before reading the translation, and that was a very puzzling moment for me. "Why is this such a cheerful picture of kids getting run over by a car? ...ohhhh."
