    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.

    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.

    Agree that Kulich is a lock to make this year's Sabres team.  But what pro team did he last play for last season?  

    62 games as a Sabre.

    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.

  22. Sabres trade Sam Lafferty to Chicago for a 2026 6th Round Pick

    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.
