I have 4 buttons on my B8.5 allroad that is basically identical to twomartinis’ and what drives me nuts is that I can do everything from voice commands to my phone/navigation, spin through useful bits on the radio, trip computer and turn the volume up and down. Everything except advance or go back a track which is annoying as all get out.

[rideit]

So, I have been fooling around in my deceased FIL’s ‘23 A6 for a few days, and I actually really don’t like it much. I find the electronics and controls to be the opposite of intuitive. Anyone have experience with this?

[twomartinis]

wow - so many thoughts, and so many tokes (mandarin cookies) makes it okay. it's late but I'll have another UC* and give this TR shit a whirl:

I mean, that little hill is core and all, but are we accepting entries from out of state?

$21 was the point, upstates be sticking it to western mass.

Thought you were gonna complain that your air fryer didn’t fit in.

I’ll just leave this here.

this beast reminds me of a story, before last thanksgiving. me and the two older boys were volunteering at a food drive in hoosick falls. this guys drives up in a lincoln town car, congressional edition; and i shit you not the trunk was the size of a ping pong table! so the guy pops the trunk [here's the punchline] and it is fucking completely full of shit! the boy is like "uhh, where do you want me to put the box of food and the turkey?" but the guy is really a good guy, just super nice, and he says "oh, I guess that's my sister's stuff. I should get that cleaned up. just put the food in the back seat."

I have another rant besides the genny cream - and ranting is most certainly upstates so:
I think car design is going right into the shitter...

oodles of confusing shit packed into the steering wheel, check

luddites unite!

/rant

I was going to say something poignant but forgot. was probably about the luddites anyway

hmm… offal or giblets today?

offal it is.




fact.

offal FTW, there's so much deliciousness you can create with it, forcemeats and all... giblets is just giblets

Japanese toilet technology is leaps and bounds ahead. Surprised there isn’t a little device on the kids perch….

that's why I only crap into toto toilets

You and gravity are two people I want to met at Titus someday. I've never been either. I can't swing it this year. I guess I'll be at least a year older when I finally do.

umm, me three?

my uncle graduated from Clarkson. my mentor was a Clarkson grad too. we're always looking to hire newbies from there, WPI and Penn State. What's he going to study?

y'know just offering friendly advice, no charge

I had sushi.

don't get me started. this is one of those allroads perched 5" off the ground, no? audi ruined the allroad concept at gen 2, when they forgot why they made the allroad; and only concentrated on how to sell it... to downstaters wanting to go offroading. and downstater offroading is any road that's not a parkway, expressway, road to macy's or road to king umberto's pizzeria

Mechanical Engineering. But he's torn because he also wants a business degree. He's young. Isn't exactly sure what to do with himself. Like all of us. My advice was pick one and minor in the other. Which probably means minor in business as a practical matter. He also got accepted by WPI, is waiting on a bunch of other schools. Middle kid, who turned down Clarkson, is going to uvm also for Mech Eng (family on both sides has UVM degrees, he's now 3rd generation. My mom and my wife both have undergrad and grad degrees from there.). He's a junior and really needs a co-op job next year, hasn't found one yet, but not sure how hard he's looking.

And he even quoted himself. He's obviously a few bong loads into the good stuff. I'm jelly.

skip the business degree, we really need doers not more paper pushers.

we'll give your son a co-op, shit we've got 6 job recs out for mechanical right now... and 5 for boston too. it's tough to find any talent out there

Agree on needing doers not watchers. He knows that deep down. I'll PM you later about the rest.

I'm not ok with this. It's offensive.

Yeah, me too. What the fuck is that?

[BmillsSkier]

Yeah that got a “wait, what?” reading through

You might be in Upstate if you find yourself immobile on an interstate (81) with multiple multi car and semi accidents and 2.5 hrs later you are heading north in the southbound lanes as it's all been shutdown.

Thus you are required to take route 12 during a lake effect storm that is hammering tug hill - which is the last place you really wanted to be. And, you got to avoid the four footed traffic in the white outs. Yep, you are upstate.

Plus a quote for truth - Route 12 in a blizzard is an experience not to be missed if you like to live on the edge.

That really is an epic pic. Just sets the tone on how our ambassador must have started his day.

I don't expect to see that kind of BS comment on TGR. It is highly offensive.

Honda Accord with new Michelin snows. It rails in the snow. Having driven 4 wheel drives for the better part of the past couple decades I'm stunned how well it Handles snow.

Or like probably a majority of the Engineers out there- they get a BS in their technical Engineering field and then turn around and get an MBA in one of the Business areas- Accounting, Finance, Business Stats, many times because of their Math background...
