In about 50 years, we went from Pong(sucking in my quarters as I sat at the bar in our local entertainment center) to Unreal Engine 5.4, pushing photorealistic videos rendered on the fly. During that half century, every incremental, minor improvement was bragged about by the developers and was greeted by consumers with the awe and excitement, that, the then cutting edge visuals, deserved. Such is the nature of tech. It only becomes laughably quaint and primative, when viewed through the lens of time.

Had a non-smoking buddy at work who tried this a few times, but soon stopped on his own, lol. It's funny just how much worse it looks, when a boss walks by and gives you a glance, to be standing there empty-handed, stealing company time vs stealing the same company time, while feeding a well-known addiction. Not saying it's fair, but perception is everything.

Dragster tires versus other cats' plain old touring ones.

I sometimes throw a lazy salute at garbage truck or snowplow drivers. Guess I've gotta get a horse and a flag now. Thanks for raising the stakes in the public servant appreciation game, cowboy.
