Right on. Also, your avatar is the best.

Hey, it's a V6 GT after all. They can be made to go reasonably fast with forced induction. Which, given all she's done so far, would not be out of the question here I think.

To be fair to my friends, many of them are real academics, with majors in literature fields and history and the like. Also know quite a few STEM nerds from way back when, since what I studied in those two two years was Electrical Engineering. At my school, back in the mid-90s, that was second in nerd-factor only to…

My parents were wannabe upper-class alcoholic dickbags. My mother was like Lucille Bluth, except in real life it's not fun at all. None of your fault, really.

Word on admitting to the value of blue collar jobs. I'm one of the three groups you mentioned - I'm a carpenter. I love my job. I actually went to college for two years on my parent's insistence, but I quit because I absolutely couldn't hack it.

Yeah, but who is it? I haven't been able to find out anything other than that it's apparently not Mandvi.

Not that you would know from experience, right?

Not pure water, though - isotonic saline solution. Injecting pure water in an amount that would make a significant difference would lead to the patient's cells bursting. Which ain't good.

For sure. But I'd be willing to be that when a company can actually manufacture instant-sober pills (probably Pfizer), they won't sell them cheaply. I mean, the market for sober-pills might top even the boner pill market.

Until these are ready for the market, there is always cocaine if you need to at least appear sober right now.

That narrator, I've heard him so many times before. He also does the Pinnacle vodka commercials. Anybody know who he is?

If you actually succeeded in making a thrust-powered RC plane, wouldn't it make enough power to be pretty heavy and still fly?

Probably not, but it shouldn't be that expensive to have it manufactured. The solution to all your metal manufacuring needs are hot-rod engine shops.

"...which makes me want to see what kind of damage it does to a human hand..."

I have to say the "someday perhaps, they might even offer cars that are as interesting to drive" dig was pretty awesome. Kind of falls flat when it comes to its German competition, but it's quite the burn on the Japanese sedans of the time.

Also, here's some train porn for y'all.

I have to say, I like trains. On a trip to Europe, my bf and I traveled predominantly by train to make the most of our unlimited rides railpass, and while it wasn't Japanese levels of perfect (a level of perfection our culture just isn't suited for), it was perfectly good. There were delays, but rarely outside a 15…

The Forest Whitaker story proves that no matter how classy (and upper-class) a black person is, some racist idiot will still see them and think "thief".

Haha, that's what I like about Diesel - he seems like a guy who does what he wants without worrying whether people might find it stupid or embarassing. A lot of other "B-class" actors probably would have been shy about approaching a legend like Dench like that, but not him.

There's IQ according to the Mensa test, which is widely respected, but other intelligence tests come to different results. It's not like they're internationally standardized.
