One of my news feeds keeps throwing up Fox “News” articles and I haven’t been able to figure out a way to stop it. They are universally rage-articles about just this kind of nonsense, or whatever it is that the Biden Administration did this morning.

Considering the time and place the original story was written, “fair skin” otherwise known as untanned skin was a sign of the aristocracy. Only the rich could live their lives entirely indoors, while the working classes were out in the sun (and other weather) most of the time. Indoors for the peasant class was where…

You spelled “stoned person” wrong.

Ever wish they’d limit how long these things could be?

I’m honestly not trying to be a wise ass, but what am I missing here?

Please excuse me. I bungled that badly. I was confusing the booster engines with the first stage engines. The booster engines are based on the RD-120 RP1-LOX engines. The main engines of the Long March 5 are the YF-77 which are indeed gas-generator hydrolox engines. They are a fairly new home-brew Chinese engine,…

How filly of you! Fum people juft don’t have any fence of humor.

Nah, I think you’ve just put your hoof in your mouth.

While that used to be a thing is some places, I doubt it is anymore. It’s too easy to counterfeit such markings.

I guess it takes all kinds of critters to make farmer Vincent’s fritters.

Silly plan.  It needs a Triumph Rocket III engine.

What does a criminal cop have to do to be treated like a criminal by cops?

Please forgive the late 60's fashion and my creepy stare. I’m not stealing your soul; I promise.

There is a strong belief among the religious right that “Jesus is coming” (obviously) and that for Jesus to come back Israel has to exist to first be destroyed by God. Israel doing shitty things actually backs up their beliefs.

My understanding is the Oscars are little different.  Back stage is like an open bar party, and they have people to come fill seats for the ones that go up on stage.  So you go on stage, pick up a metal dude, go back stage and get hammered while they take it away from you to go get engraved and people take pictures of…

I’ve worked in industry on and off my whole life where hearing protection was required. Ear plugs don’t bother me in the least.  I wear in-the-ear Blutooth headphones most of the time though.  They’re not as good as foamies, but good enough for most environments.  If it’s really noisy I have ear muffs too.  Ear Muffs…

I will note that he actually does want to move, but real estate prices are so ridiculous around here these days that he basically can’t. His house is paid off (30 year mortgage he paid off in 20 years) but there’s nothing out there he could buy today that’s much better than what he has for the same price, so he’d have…

I bought my car new in 2006 and it has been all but trouble free. One rear wheel bearing went bad on me, which took me about 20 minutes and $45 to fix.
