what do you mean “to bring in clicks” — it’s an infamous video, people know it, here’s the backstory, why he did it, and what kind of shit it got him at the time (and also a ton of interesting context on Japan’s relationship with Ferrari, and the characters involved in that)

I was ready to call it a hideous mess. Then I read the article and saw the love and incredible backyard engineering that went into it and I have to say, bravo, well done.

Careful with your objective observations.

I know the people at Orlando Food Not Bombs (an amazing organization that has repeatedly won tough legal fights) and they will be the first to tell you that this is how it starts.

Think I found it:

Swear words are almost completely linked to a specific culture as it is, e.g. a certain c-word that is heinous in the USA but completely benign in England and Australia. Now extend that to not just cultures but languages.

It is awesome - Here’s a quick time lapse I took riding out to it:

Seriously not bad. I live in Jax, apparently no one thought to give the bars a heads up so they would have extra staff and security. Only six arrests is outstanding. We have a Brit on staff at my company who is ex Royal navy and had a chum on the boat, so he was there. Said overall it was quiet compared to what could…

So people here might be wondering how this was actually done.

That’s gross and I’m glad to know about this.

Next up: The Jeep Shithawk for total trailer park domination!

Women fought in WW II.

This is established historical fact.

The delicate fee-fees of the armchair historians who’ve never cared to engage with the reality of the war beyond saying “I watched Band of Brothers five times” (and no insult to Band of Brothers; I own the Blu-Ray and DVD editions, it was that good) are not a…

Babysat the racing version for a few hours at the shop where I work. It was in transit and the driver needed a place to leave it while he picked up another car in the area. Gorgeous!

The proper counter is to hatchet-throw the bat at the opposing pitcher, kick the catcher backwards, pick up the ball and run from third to first to home to second. This unlocks unlimited-dingers mode.

Don’t hate: Demon.

I totally know what you mean. Like you, my wife and I also didn’t really become fascinated with space until after college. But now we can’t get enough. We work together so we were lucky enough to see it (online) together. All day long my wife kept saying “this just makes me so happy!” It’s just so cool. And the fact…

Even 50 years ago, though, we didn’t land the rockets back on Earth for reuse. You only got to watch in awe as they went up. Now it’s twice as awesome.

I was the same way yesterday. I was genuinely shaking with sheer awe at what was just accomplished. The science and engineering behind what SpaceX has been doing is unreal.

I don’t know what it is about this new space race that has captivated me so much, but I wept during the launch yesterday. I didn’t become fascinated with space until after college, so I missed that boat for getting involved professionally. But I’m so glad there are people like Elon Musk willing to make the investments…
