Correct on all counts. As for Louisiana BBQ, if you find yourself in Baton Rouge, stop by Hannah Q. You can get some excellent BBQ, and they also have "BBQ Jambalaya", a Cajun (not Creole!) jambalaya made with all their BBQ meats. It's fantastic.

Oh, glory be! They went right to the wire, but they actually assigned delivery windows inside the 30 day limit. Delivery Window Jul - Sep 2027 That's actually a whole bank earlier than my previous uninformed guess. Suppose this means a bunch of upgrades to the Club DWCS Emeritus crew. 😎

Oh, I have no direct insight. I'm just going by the fact reservation time was supposed to matter and I was very early in the opening hours of reservations. Whatever queue I'm in, there can't be many people ahead of me if reservation order matters, as we were told it would. Of course, they also...

If you don't make the reservation preorder cutoff, you move to the end of your queue, but they have different queues for different areas. I may be in Club DWCS, Louisiana Chapter, but I'm right at the front of that queue whenever it eventually decides to move. If I didn't preorder, I would be...

Once a member, always a member. 😁 Wait! I just meant we're inclusive! Please, Slate, don't interpret that as "Leave them in the club permanently." 🤣

Hmm... the largest annual gathering of Geocaching will actually be coming to Baton Rouge (of all places) for Memorial Day weekend next year. Sure, it's not SXSW or Burning Man or whatever the rich people go to, but Slate really ought to make sure that they have a Slate truck there so they can...

Apparently, my Mazda 3 Sport hatchback is 1 inch longer than a Blank Slate and 0.1 inches wider (although the Slate wheelbase is 2.6 inches longer). When you're a 6'2" guy, you aren't short, but you still look like a hobbit when you're surrounded by pro basketball players. Biking to work on...

I can't easily write out the answer to that in this forum's markup, but the answer is basically a superposition of the "Of course!" state and the "Of course not!" state. Eventually, observation will collapse the quantum state into a single value, but until Shrödinger's Slate has been delivered...

I know some people who have a hard time with the marshmallow test, yet they're self-aware enough to know their weakness. For them, a zero-interest savings account that they get one withdrawal from every year is a way they can save without being able to "well, just this once..." all the money...

So, as for myself, I'm one of those rare dual members, with continued membership in Club DWCS while I'm also First Shift. That being the case, what about the other side? Do we have any reservation-holding Club DWCS members who have been holding out for an actual delivery window before putting...

If I can carry a diet spare behind the seat and maybe mount a jack and wrench on one of the T-slot setups, that's really all I'd want for around town. For road trips, I'd carry a full-size spare so I wouldn't have to wait for a repair or drive harshly speed-limited for too long a distance...

Maybe that's why In-N-Out Burger hasn't expanded to Louisiana yet. Too much time would be wasted opening and closing windows, trashing the maximum drive-through rate and wrecking the business case. (It's not that bad here, really. I mean, sure, yesterday was a bit muggy, what with the...

Well, well, well. Here we are at week four of Delivery Window Coming Soon, and what better way to celebrate an excursion of unexpectedly unbounded length than that anthem of classic television. I refer, of course, to the Ballad of Gilligan's Isle. *ahem*... Just sit right back and you'll...

The most recent news about wraps that isn't a special "merch drop" was that they weren't ready to release info on who their vinyl supplier was, so I wouldn't expect a display yet By the time they're doing the "show off the production trucks and let people get handsy" touring this fall, they...

Well, I mean, when it came to showing you that you had a flat, I guess it did work. 🤔😅😁
