I've always been enamored, at least long as I can remember, with German muscle cars. Which are almost exclusively Mercedes. I mean BMW does throw some big displacement energy into their cars from time to time, but it never hit me the same way. This won't be a replica of any sort, it'll be its own build, but the SL73 AMG (as well as Brabus SL73S), the Brabus Rocket, the 500E, the 1970's 450SEL 6.9, all the 1980's-1990s AMG 6.0's (derivatives of either the previous V8 or this one) in the SEL, SEC, E class, and SL run deep in my soul. Every bit as cool as American muscle, but not neutered in the same way that ours were in the 70's and early 80's. Mercedes has always been big displacement, until recently. I wouldn't say a 5.0L is "big", but in the 70's/80's/90's it sure was.

What are you guys thinking of for the family SUV? Are you sad to see the Bronc go?

I love the Bronco. It’s just a 2-door 4 seater and we are now a family of 5. The few times I have to take the baby, I end up loading the car seat through the rear trunk area.

I paid 36880 over two and an half years ago and got an offer for 35000. It holds its value very well.

My wife’s car is an MDX and that lease is up in Summer 2027, so slightly over a year and a half I can always look at getting a manual 4 Dr Bronco, 5 seater. Or maybe something higher end that’s sporty in a manual transmission (911, CT5-V, etc).


Before the Bronco, I had a 2017 E300. Hint the new SUV is the same make. I’ll upload a pic on Saturday when I get it. :)

I don't run an algorithm. That's between you and your Google-ID.

Using ANY Alphabet (Google) product (gmail, search, YouTube, etc) will affect what you see in Google Ads because your G-ID is imbedded in everything and iTs NoT CoOkIeS.

This is your common identifier that threads through every interaction you have with Alphabet products, anywhere you see ads, use gmail, sheets, YouTube, logged in or out, anything that touches a Google product or website using Google Analytics or GoogleAds, especially "DailyMail". "Free" just means you're the product.

Google has a 3 trillion dollar market capitalization. I'm sorry, what were you saying about "my" algorithm?

I think he likes it. He’s like my “Screech”

He knows that I’ll stuff him in the metaphorical “locker” if he comes at me randomly, but here we are, time and time again:

man you are truly dumber than I had thought. do one ounce of legwork to see how google advertising works

I had no idea Google takes over someone’s private web host server and force-feeds ads onto the site illegally. What does Derg stand to gain?

And if this is some Google algorithm, why would I see some anime-looking toys? I’ve literally never searched that in my life. Refreshing the site, the next ad was something crypto. Which, again, I’ve never searched or wanted. I don’t do crypto.


Now if a Ford or Mercedes car ad popped up, I’d be like yeah this AI algorithm stuff is working. But I have yet to see a car ad/banner.

Why am I seeing a watermelon (toy?) ad on top of this website?

Right here. You really saying Google hacked your website and put ads on here without your knowledge?

Stop blaming people of color for the aftereffects of your weird browsing habits. I have no idea what goes into the search bar on your late-night Pornhub session.

“Why is the bear chasing me, Derg?” asks the man carrying a side ‘o beef in his backpack.

Again, here we are:

Point is, there’s no rhyme or reason. Google analytics isn’t as good as you think it is.


Car Jam. Apparently some game about cars meant for kids. That is one random, misplaced ad.

Oh, last post because I have a date with the Peloton in the home gym.

Please re-read the first line and confirm the following:

A. You’re actually an engineer, implying that you should have some grasp on very basic technology.
B. You really don’t know how the internet works.

I really don’t think you’ll understand the answer I give you, which would lead to a weird Q&A session about not being able to find the “ANY” key on your keyboard.

It’s ok to think the internet is a series of tubes and magic beans, but good god, have some self-respect and stop making yourself look so dense… on purpose. Have a great time, make sure you order that spool of ‘flightline’ before you head back to work.
 
I guess I don’t get how it works - and probably a good thing. These ads certainly don’t reflect my interests or what I normally view / click on, so who knows. I don’t. And on the give o’ crap meter, this is starting to rank really low.

These are things outside the scope of what Jetcareers is and something you’ll have to tackle on your own time. I really don’t have the interest in teaching you how the internet works alongside how GoogleAds chooses which advertisements to send you other than, it knows your IP, it knows what you browse, it knows what you shop for and it knows you’re probably a busy parent who occasionally throws a mobile device on your same IP stream in your home, to one of your children for an electronic babysitting and it probably thinks you might want to download that for your children. HOW HARD IS THIS TO UNDERSTAND?! :)

Here’s some homework.

Have someone send you an email that says “I’m pregnant”, go to WalMart.com and look at ammunition prices at your local store, then search AA.com for tickets to Mexico.

Voila, you’re gonna get ads for BetterHelp.com, civil defense attorneys and end up on some list your girl Kristi Noem gets to run you immigration status because big brother is certainly watching now.

Alright, I’m audi. NOOOO not the car, it means, oh never mind.
