It took me a few days to adjust. I'm still learning (just got the car at the end of June and spent a week after that out of town), but I'm figuring it out.
My dealer actually sets up appointments for a week or two after delivery of a car to go over all the stuff it does and give the new owner to ask how to do things he hor she can't figure out. My appointment is Friday.
I've got it mostly figured out, but for the media selection there is a horizontal list of all the options that's wider than the screen. I'd like AM, FM, Andriod Auto (which jumps to Pandora on my phone) and USB (CD Player) together. Instead, USB is at the other end of the list and I can't switch between Pandora and USB without scrolling horizontally. I need to see if there's a way to edit or rearranged those options. I'm not going to renew SiriusXM when the trial ends so I'd like to push that off to the end instead and move USB closer to AM/FM/Pandora.
Maybe there's a way to do that and I will find out how Friday.
By the way, if anyone is interested in adding a USB CD player to their car, this is the one I got. It's plug and play in my car just by plugging it into the USB A port, and the cord is long enough to put the player out of sight in the glove box. So far it hasn't skipped even when going over nasty train tracks.

I just bought a new 2025 car. I still can’t figure out how to fully operate the radio and sites associated with the onboard computer. Can’t they simply design basic cars for us archaic people??!! These freaking gadgets make me more grouchy than I usually am.

Don’t feel bad. I’m stuck in the 90s. Now where the heck did I put my flip-phone? 🙃
I just put a CD player in my new 2025 car. 😛

Yeah but I want the Byram pic.
You can log onto imgflp with your Google ID if you have one (I think some others too) and use that to create an account. Then you can upload pics or gifs as templates. It's how I make the goal memes.

So which one of you memesters can get rid of the text for me so that I can use it as a template? I'm thinking "to the pain" to start.
Go to a meme generator page such as https://imgflip.com/memegenerator and see if the gif is uploaded without the text.
This one is pretty close: https://imgflip.com/memetemplate/320298782/Princess-Bride-Land-War-in-Asia-gif
It has a caption but you can put a bigger caption over it.

I know your company and industry as you and I have talked on PMs.
As far as his resume, the hiring manager usually gets that from the job posting portal.
I have seen this situation a lot and have hired sons/daughters of several employees myself.
It can and does work in a very big company with no problems. Since you are in physically close proximity, it is more up to you not getting involved in his workday than anything else.
If he gets hired chances are he moves to a new project in the first few years and you never see him at work.
Well, he's getting an interview.

UB40 and my honey Chrissie did a nice little remake of it - I wake up on our Groundhog Day to that version.
Listening to UB40 right now...

The JBD thing has me puzzled.
How is he worse than Bryson? Anyone have any fancy stats on this?
Yeah, kinda weird.

45 minutes ago, dudacek said:Lafferty, Reimer, Aube-Kubel, Gilbert, Peterka, Clifton, Jokiharju, and Cozens
That’s 8 guys gone from last year’s team including 4 guys Adams brought in last summer.
Those first four were definitely non-permanent, transitional players.

Now add a center to the team that is better than the current next in line option Kozak.
...although I don't think Kozak is a bad option. I thought he acquitted himself well on his limited NHL time last season.

So 2/3rds of the NAK, Lafferty, Malenstyn revamped 4th line that was supposed to help get the team to the playoffs last year is now off the team one year later. I wonder if Malenstyn gets traded later today.
Those three were exactly what they were expected to be. They were filling spots left by departures of the previous 4th line, allowing the Sabres to not have to pull prospects out of Rochester and let them develop. They were never intended to be long term members of the team. For as much as people like to bag on them, it was better to have them it was better than having a line of 3 kids trying to learn to play shut down minutes on the fly.

Good. On paper. He looked like a decent fourth liner but it didn't seem to work out. Good to get something for him and good for him to move on.
Exactly the way I see it. He was a Star Trek Red Shirt- expendable.

about 30 miles north of Buffalo
30 miles north of Buffalo is Lake Ontario. (Just going all pedantic on you, I know it's about 30 miles away, and mostly north.)
