I thought the $40 price tag on that new worker placement game was too high, but my friend's copy proved me wrong

Serious question, what's your take on the push for more electric vehicle training?

Just logged my 500th hour on the same engine model and the numbers shocked me

Honestly, 500 hours on one engine type isn't that wild in the grand scheme. Most shops have guys with thousands on a single model, so it's pretty normal. Not really a big deal either way.

Wearing stiff jeans all day used to kill my back. Now designers think about spinal health.

My old Levi's 501s from the 90s are still the most comfortable jeans I own. The new stretchy stuff often loses its shape and feels cheap by comparison. Sometimes the old ways of making things just worked better.

Check your cloud backup settings. Sometimes they get turned off after an update. Found my old stuff in a weird local folder once too. Had to dig through the file system. Game saves can hide in places you forget about.
