I met Bruce at a hotel downroute during his Astreus years - I think it was somewhere in the Canaries but it was a long time and a crate full of alcohol ago so I wouldn’t bet my life on it - and he’s awesome.

You’re right. Apollo 8 was originally going to test the LM in low Earth orbit (a mission later performed by Apollo 9), but when the LM was delivered by Grumman it was found to have so many defects it couldn’t fly until at least 1969. And that would potentially push a landing into 1970.

Oh.

Lauda told Ferrari to stay home and stick to what they know, making spaghetti. They have now figured out the fastest way to grate all of that pecorino romano. I hear they have also developed a corkscrew attachment for the starter. Grazie Mille Ferrari!

But they’re tufted! By hand. Besides, nothing screams class like making your friends take their shoes off before they get in your car. It’s just the kind of eccentric behavior that should be expected of someone driving a $181,000 Honda.

I am pretty sure an Imperial Crusade (say, about the size of the one launched against the Tau Empire) could conquer the entire Federation and bring them under the dominion of the Emperor (and exterminate the xeno filth, of course).

Just going to throw this up before the Star Trek nerds try get in on the Ship measuring contest

your nan is NSFW.

nitro = nitromethane, the awesome liquid fuel NHRA sucks-and-blows by the gallons per run in their 10,000 HP beasts

In the places I’ve been that they don’t wear shoes, they don’t want shoes. They do everything barefoot, and that’s the way they’ve grown up, so that’s the way they want it.

We finally get a back-to-basics, classic Bond movie and critics seem to keep shitting on it because it isn’t the dark, gritty, new “batman” experience that they loved in Skyfall.

Right, people are dedicating decades of their lives, spending tens of millions of dollars, and running hundreds of studies to make it slightly easier to get high. Of course it has nothing at all to do with actual medical benefits that have been shown in dozens of studies.
