A bird-killing acid lake. that’s absolutely tragic. 

A question came up in a Facebook group I’m in about post COVID travel and a shocking number of people couldn’t wait to go on cruises.

I don’t understand humanity. Cruise ships aren’t COVID factories because they’re traveling at sea. The problem is close quarters. So why would you go on a ship, regardless of it leaving the dock or not? COVID is not a sea sickness.

They never cared to innovate on the passenger end because the money in the taxi business isn’t in fares and customer service, it’s in medallions and leasing the taxis to the drivers. Very similar to an MLM scheme.

The only way any of the last four years makes sense is that they literally put in mind control bugs in closed door meetings

At last, I have the last ingredient to FINALLY do a proper Automan cosplay.

Thanks, I couldn’t think of a proper term.

The lynchpin for Uber’s success as a disrupter for taxi services (an industry begging for disruption) was having a maverick CEO who’s antics could distract investors from their need to be in the black right now. Companies who’s product are the future need to be ran by those myth-makers like Elon Musk and Steve Jobs…

It’s also the shade of blue that Blue Man Group uses for their makeup.

Neutral: I gotta go with the Colorado River Irrigation Company, land developers who wanted to irrigate a bunch of land in the Coachella Valley in California by diverting the Colorado River through a series of canals. In 1905, the Colorado flooded and overwhelmed the canals and over the next 18 months, water spilled…

On invented colors, my favorite is International Klein Blue, designed by artist Yves Klein in 1960. It’s heartachingly, deeply blue.

I heard her on Keep It and she seemed to be just as humorless as I expect her and Rooney to be. She responded to jokes with a disinterested, “That’s funny” instead of actually laughing.

That courtroom finale was some of the worst writing I’ve seen in a while. I felt like SVU would’ve handled this story better.

(Democrat Jon Ossoff literally debated an empty podium as David Perdue refused to debate because Republican).

That supercut felt like the replicant baseline test from Blade Runner 2049

If people loved minivans, there’d be more than five on the market. Would be nice to see other automakers try again. A rugged Subaru minivan seems like a better idea than the Ascent. Or if Elon made a Tesla with sliding doors instead of gimmicky falcon doors. Or if Porsche made a minivan with 0-60 of 4.1 sec. 

What’s infuriating is that the WaPo story calls this a “protest” and even references BLM protests at mayors and AGs houses. I don’t know how to define it, but it cannot be a protest if what you’re protesting is a thing that is made up.

I kind of like the romanticized rugged wealth motif of a King Ranch interior. It’s got that “Kevin Costner in Yellowstone” feel to it.

It was such a huge departure from the previous gen and my memory was that it was really expensive for the amount of car you got. But I agree, they were kind of interesting. I bet once the aughts retro-cool nostalgia kicks in, there’ll be a demand for these.

It does look nice. I’ve seen a few on the road where the owners did a chrome delete and black wheels and it works well with the Pacifica’s simple lines. Chrysler offers a blacked out trim and AWD for 2021.
