1. Editing trick because the next view Sam is near the wall. The walkers weren’t there. Or it didn’t happen at all and it was just a dramatic throw away scene

Consider another viewpoint for a moment. While they’re testing some of their new toys that they haven’t had an adequate war yet to test, mostly they are using up stockpiles of outdated crap.

My parents panicked when I started riding and dragged my older brother with me. Then my dad started riding because he saw how much fun we were having, then my mom because she didn’t want to be left on the sidelines. Then I got into the track and my parents thought I was going to kill myself. Next month I’m taking my…

I was driving back from a motorcycle trackday with my bike and a friends in a heavy U-Haul trailer. In Portland traffic another driver made an unexpected lane change in front of me then hit her brakes when she realized there was no room. A small pile up ensued with me at the back (and thus liable). The heavy trailer…

Implying to my ex that she needed to join me at the gym pretty much sealed that she was going to be an ex. Also vastly different fitness levels.

Its Portland, so the .gov is busier paying for toilets and meals for the homeless than they are keeping up the infrastructure.

I don’t visit RT before seeing a film. I stopped going to the movies regularly because they’re all crap these days.

Why does Uber get all this bad press whereas I hardly ever hear about Lyft or any other? Aren’t they different sides of the same coin?

Autoinjector filled with high potency valium. It won’t save your life but it’ll keep you from twitching and shitting and otherwise demoralizing the other hapless fucks around you.

In IT I can’t say I’ve ever been asked anything besides technical questions, best practices questions, and “how much pain and torment will you accept for a paycheck?”.

On the flipside when I’m interviewing people I start by asking them sci-fi, fantasy, and geek culture questions to see how they react, set them at ease,…

1. Too many nice cars, not enough money or garage space.
2. Speed Limits
3. Upkeep costs
4. Riding in anyone else’s vehicle who doesn’t give a hoot and whose car is in horrible shape because they never even change the oil
5. Other auto/moto enthusiasts who make me look bad

Once upon a time on a flight back from Vegas I whipped out my.... tablet and pulled up the video player. The last things I’d been watching were hardcore porn and the thumbnails of all the explicit scenes were visible on my table to the little old lady next to me. I hurriedly minimized the folder. The little old lady…

Can I be invited to your next party? I’ll bring pizza bombs, jaeger, and bad decisions.

Eh, its China. As far as the whole “South China Sea” thing goes, like I’ve said before its only called the South China Sea because some Brit that didn’t know the difference between one Asian culture and another named it that. It isn’t anywhere near PRC.

With respect to the masses of geeks that associate actors real life abilities with their on screen personas, unfortunately being a good pilot in Star Wars doesn’t mean you’re infallible IRL. He might have to hang up the keys.

Never talk to your neighbors about it. People get f-ing psycho the moment you say anything bad about their kids or dogs. Then they accuse you of everything that happens to their precious little furball that they leave by itself chained up in the yard all day.

What kind of buns are those?

Things that worked:

I know I saw it, and I know I commented on it to one of the gearheads at the SB party, but for the life of me I can’t remember the Alfa Romeo commercial at all.

Or on the Grand Tour.
