and Flash Gordon.

replicating. not cloning.

two snaps up for using misanthropic in a blog post comment. don’t know why, but it made me think of “Miss Anthropic”

this was not a company making criminal claims. this was the government. this case matters. a lot.

“we are not at liberty to take prosecutors at their word”

probably it was engineers and not scientists.

other than the cantina scene with Solo and bounty hunter, has there been discussion of money in the SW storyline? I mean, money is just ones and zeros, and the Empire had computers. Right? Maybe they had no federal reserve?

that man should go immediately to prison. full stop. no discussion. unless the runner had a nuclear device in his back seat and was going to detonate it in the city unless he was murdered within the next 30 seconds there is no excuse.

Chases are rarely “worth it” as far as any societal benefit or mission accomplishment. To my mind the reason any cop ever chases someone is because of emotions. Cops have one primary rule - you gotta do what they say. It is why men become cops, so they can get that. It is the violation of that cop prime directive that…

Fair enough. I have only seen HD and Kawasaki on the road, and the KZ’s...are they even in service any more? I was able to Google up the Honda (seems like they didn’t like it much).

I have ridden pretty much every kind of bike. I have had a few Harleys and I have had race bikes and dirt bikes. This is true about some Harleys: they have a lot of weight below the axle height and actually handle quite well at walking speeds. I could dance my Fatboy around a parking lot all day by dragging the rear…

Cops can only buy cop bikes from manufacturers that make cop bikes. That aint many. Also, the whole “Made in ‘Murka” thing matters. Perceptions. The copping business is a psyop. They have to manage perceptions. Part of the perception is nostalgia; hence the Hogs. And they need us to think they are not Stasi. Of…

Same as it ever was. This is the global players fighting over resources and power and using the rest of us as cheering section, pawns, and fools. Truth is the first casualty of war. I would amend that to say “The sacrifice of truth is a prerequisite of war.” This war against Islam, which is really a war for resources…

my tail is more of a cat tail than a monkey tail. it is not under total control, but is more of a reflector of mood. it is reactive and indicative. as such it needs to be displayed and not tucked behind a seat. I don't think anyone wants to poke their tail through a seat hole.

if we had tails there would be tail clothes, tail-do's, tail decorations, all kinds of bullshit. So they would need to be disl

I am going to buy a used VW this weekend. I had a 2004 GLI and I loved it but sold it for a truck. sigh. Don’t ever do that. And then I bought an electric car, a Leaf, because gas was over $4.00/gal and I thought it would keep going up. I was wrong. Well, now the Leaf is losing range (battery cycles..sigh) and so I…

(to the tune of “if I were a rich man”)

I wonder how the players feel about all the cop-loving that goes on with organized sports. I mean, those same cops the owners are romancing would just as soon murder the players out on the streets if they ran across them out of uniform.
