Total collapse of traffic here. Trying to get out of Hamburg-Finkenwerder (my office is very close to AIRBUS. The runway is just a few hundred feeds away).
My home is to the south, trying the north-east route right now.
Something happen? The news hasn't reached my feeds yet, hope you get home ok.
Well, looks like the plan worked out: A collegue tried the normal route and didn't move a single inch in the past 30 minutes. Moving 10km to the northeast and driving a "half circle" around Finkenwerder through some very small villages myself did the trick. Will be home in 20 mins I guess.
Yup, got home 6 mins ago
Haven't heard from my colleague yet, but at least the Google traffic map looks much, much better now:

Wasted another lunch hour dealing with broken iPhones and iPhone upgrades.

Any given day, right?

Just setup another GPO to block the action center in 10 for user PCs... Kind of annoying that MS is suggesting settings through it now...

oh, nice - yeah I had a user complaining that "their computer was broke because it was complaining about wifi sense" I was like - you're on the internet right? then what's the problem?
oh yeah - Microsoft.

Trying to find a Chevy dealer to deal with a stupid recall. I'm so done with buying GM cars.

Ditto - unless it's an LS engine it's not worth it.
Pleased to say that my last day driving a Cruze was Saturday - get my new (to me) Silverado tomorrow.

Chevy Spark. Just a hood latch.

What adds insult to injury is that I'm selling this car TOMORROW if possible. But you can't sell it while there is a recall out for it! Argh.

"Chevy Spark, it's only a hood latch" should be the marketing campaign for how fuel efficient it is...

And here I was thinking about a 2017 Chevy Volt. The new model is supposed to have over a 200 mile range.

That's not a large range at all for a hybrid. That's sad.

Pretty good for a pure electric though.

Sure, but it isn't electric, it's a hybrid, so it sucks

We looked at the Volt (which is named the Volt to trick people into thinking it is electric, the Spark tricks a lot of people too... its not even a hybrid!) but it is such an overpriced piece of crap. It only goes into electric mode when going so slow that even our local driveway would put it into gas powered mode and the electric assist is nice, but not all that useful.
If you are going to spend that kind of money, get an electric instead with better handling, no gas problems, even better range, etc.
The Volt... all the negatives of an electric with none of the benefits.
-
Volt range is actually 420 miles, though. Which isn't so bad.
