While I support the right on red, having been a pedestrian clipped by drivers who don’t turn their heads before accelerating takes away any passion I have to fight for it. Way too many drivers just look back for cars and try to punch it without checking

When I saw this:

So, based on Professor Banks’ comments, given the ~ 11' distance between my 60" 2k plasma TV and my eyes, I don’t even need to upgrade from 2k —> 4k, let alone 8k.

My wallet thanks you.

Was able to score the 7" single and have preordered the LP coming out in the spring.  One of the more delightful musical surprises of 2021.

Some additional 2021 albums worth consideration:

Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio - I Told You So
Dry Cleaning - New Long Leg
King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard - Butterfly 3000 or L.W. (both are good but very different)
Sault - Nine
Flock of Dimes - Head of Roses
Wolf Alice - Blue Weekend
Amyl & the Sniffers - Comfort to Me

“Many Shubs and Zulls knew what it was to roast in the depths of a Schlör(wagen) that day I can tell you.”

Dammit, somebody beat me to it down-thread.  Good to see I’m not the only one who made that mental connection, I suppose...

If it had Tesla Model S range, I’d totally buy it.  However, with ~ 200 miles of range, it’s not nearly as appealing.

Yeah the “bizarre gardening accident” that killed one of their drummers was based off Jeff Porcaro from Toto, who died while gardening. At the time, it was suspected to be due to pesticide, but most likely it was a heart attack from cocaine use.

The problem with the LeBaron has less to do with the position of the indicators (although that is a bit weird) and more that the whole front end looks like it was an automotive study of the ice cube tray as design metaphor. It’s too busy with too many little boxes. I don’t know whether to drive it or try and play Tetri…

The valve cover gasket failed when I was autocrossing and dumped oil onto the exhaust manifold. The car only had 64,xxx miles on it.

So, are you ‘insolent’ or ‘bodgeable’?

Ruh roh.  What on earth happened (glances anxiously at 2010 128i)?

And John is far from a saint, we all know most of what he did to Cynthia and Julian, but even Yoko had to deal with his heroin addiction and “year off” from her with another woman.

OK, Millennial.

You aren’t alone in your opinion. I feel the same way (and only wish my sister had lived to see this as she was a huge Beatle fan, albeit after they had already broken up)

I loved how the entire atmosphere changed once Billy Preston joined them in studio - suddenly they were having fun, being creative again.

(I was a bit disappointed in Paul for shooting down the idea of making Preston a permanent member of the band - they may have lasted longer if that had happened...or maybe not, given…

16. Everything you heard about Yoko Ono is true. She’s like set dressing that’s always in your face. She’s a pest. You get the feeling no one wants her there expect John.

Back in grad school in the mid-90s when I was an impoverished student, I decided to build a Gene Berg motor for my otherwise-shitbox 1971 VW Type III Squareback (lemon yellow, of course). I ended up spending about $1,700 on all the parts and labor (head work), and many hours assembling the motor. The motor worked…

Eh, IKEA is a good choice for a kid’s room as it is essentially disposable, so when they outgrow their tween (or younger) tastes, you don’t feel as guilty if you freecycle the old stuff and buy new IKEA stuff.

No comment on Dr. Strange’s ability to warp space & time to pull a plush shark back to the 2012 MCU timeline.
