Ever flown out of John Wayne Orange County? Full throttle with the brakes locked, hammer down the runway, very steep climb to a couple thousand feet, level off and dump the power, glide over all the plastic surgeon's homes like a ninja, then power up when over the ocean. Always fun. And always really fun when the…

No Italian sausage? For shame.

None of you will beat this.

The drivers. SERIOUSLY. I can't count how many times it came down to me and a late model Subaru having a fucking showdown in the parking lot.

Jason, not to get too math-ey this late in the evening, but since the car seemed to be in free fall for about a quarter of a second, it would have met the ground at 2.5 m/s, give or take (recall g=9.8 m/s^2).

"You take the blue pill - The story ends. You wake up in your GM and believe... whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - You stay in this Kia dealership and I show you how deep the product line goes."

i was regularly cleaning up a coworkers personal PC, wiping all the malware and search bars and tons of dangerous stuff from porn sites. after the third time, I mentioned to her she should probably ask her husband to stop going to so many porn sites on her PC.
