Many moons ago I worked in a hobby shop that sold, amongst other stuff, the “Perfect” line of model airplane landing gear wheels. One particular size (#67 maybe? Been a long time...) would be purchased by North Carolina Highway Patrol troopers. They would disassemble the big gumball machine on their car and replace a…

Seriously. It all strikes me as a dick-swingin’ exhibition by Deputy Dawg & Co. You CAN be visible without being dangerous.

Just like requiring electric cars to have noisemakers on them, I propose that all silent bicyclists must fit their their vehicles with a baseball card secured by a clothes pin....

THIS...the second paragraph anyway. When those guys have eighty bajillion zillion candlepower of strobes and glare blazin’ away on a rainy night...how the FUCK is that safe? It’s a blue/red flashing orb of glare and that’s all...no edges, no detail. Just pure unadulterated GLARE.

Wow.  That's epic tweetage there

Seppuku free agency.

CP. There was also this....

I get Durant’s potential to heal and return to excellence. I also get Durant’s potential to not heal well and be a wildly overpriced shadow of what he was. I also also get the impression that there’s an awful lot of feeding frenzy around him. Dolan et al are a clown show, but time may prove them right. Time may also…

I guess this makes the Chubs fans....Chubbies?

Whoopsie.  That pesky Constitution thing again.  And the literalists the right wingers profess to love would be an obstacle so...

So maybe the Nats weren’t the cheapskate chiselers they were made out to be, and actually being rational? Yeah, I know that’s a reach but....

I recently got a 2019 Tiguan (company car) with the adaptive cruise, lane assist, blind spot, and rear assist. It’s detestable. The car is a fucking self propelled nanny state. The crap is incredibly intrusive for somebody who, I dunno, likes to actually drive. The lane assist is overly sensitive - the steering wheel…

#COTD ...no question.

Yup. And I expect said cameras will be trained rarely, if at all, on Lonzo...

He’s about to break out in assholes and crap himself to death over his kid being banished to New Orleans...

Repeatedly.

This isn’t about boredom. They don’t give a shit about your boredom (if they did, then why Camry?)   It’s about having you, a captive audience, being stuffed like a Christmas goose with adverts. The rest of that is just lipstick on the adverts.

I’ve driven a couple of thousand manual transmission miles RHD in the UK. As the others say, the mechanical aspect isn’t that difficult. It feels really weird at first, but that passes quickly. Keeping left wasn’t THAT hard provided the road or carpark had a center line. No center line? That’s when the keep-right insti…
