the problem with "I like to drive" is - so does everyone else.

This story belies the concept of "value" in our culture. What the fuck is an iPhone actually "worth" any way? Stock market, anyone?

Yeah, that FZ...I was ready to buy it. Cash in pocket. When I took off, that motor...I was all grins. But as soon as I tried to turn it...blam. Attempted homicide. WTF? I mean........Yamaha has to KNOW that shit. They absolutely put that bike out there knowing it is fucking dangerous. Irresponsible, IMO.

fucking LS is dead.

thought it said "SUCK"

the giant flying pyramids MUST reappear on Earth, long in the past, as the inspiration/origin of the Giza complex and our whole God Complex. Then they must go BACK through the Stargate (in the sky) into the (near) future to un-fuck the whole mess, freeing humanity from the legacy of that first intervention and the…

“one-stop." just saying.

why mention "ballistic vests" in the report of illicit shit in the truck? they illegal? how can passive protection be illegal?

and could easily be mistaken for the "key inserted" chime that happens when you open the car door? perhaps that is confusing as well since I would expect to hear a chime when exiting the vehicle with the key knowingly left-in, like then I leave the car running to hop out and check the mailbox.

That Jeep shifter is not unusual, nor particularly stupid by current standards. The image above is my Nissan Leaf "shifter" which is really more like a game controller since there is no shift linkage since there is no transmission. it could more easily have been a button on the wheel or dash. And for some reason you…

every time you eat a sandwich you increase entropy. it cannot be stopped. for most of us, we are net-entropic. for a few, builders and inventers and (original) musicians and such, they contribute to the net syntropy. but they are few.

suicide. clearly.

its what I really really (do not) want

battery deterioration and range anxiety will continue to keep (smart) people from electric vehicles until battery tech evolves away from chemical reactions. Entropy. My Leaf does not charge all the way up any more, and the useful range is going down every day. It is simple physics. Your laptop battery is the best…

The Prius has to stand out in a sea of pod cars. Think about it - how do you advertise you are driving a hybrid car unless it looks different enough for people to tell? It is like this - why do gay men have those certain characteristics we associate with gayness? Because if they didn’t, no one would know they were…

“Whoa. Deja vu.”

I just jumped-in to Game of Thrones last week and watched the “Hold the Door” episode because everyone in the office was talking about it. But I don’t really know what was so special about it. Perhaps I need some background. Can someone provide a synopsis of what has happened in the show up to that point? Is this show…

Differential civilization puts the more advanced (if such a thing can be rightly said, “advanced” being a very, very relative term) civilization at a terrible advantage. It is the simple trope that “the guy with the gun always wins”, and it is a sad, sad reality. The NaziMericans (right? the US had stolen/liberated…
