I got pulled over by a Sheriff’s Deputy six or eight years ago for speeding who was driving a Dodge Magnum. We got to bullshitting about cars on the side of the road, and he said they all got to drive the competing options for new patrol cars before the county purchased them. This was after Ford stopped making the…

I’m coming up on 4 years (next summer) on my old Motorolla G5 plus that I bought when they first came out. It still works and is on its original battery, but it’s been slowing down lately which I attribute to the fact that it’s stuck on Android 8.1. It’s possible to upgrade the OS to Android 11, but I’m not sure if I…

If I had $3.5 million at all, I’d be spending about $1 million on building a house on some acreage* nobody I know knows about and plowing $2.5 million into a mutual fund, the interest of which would pay what small expenses I would have after that. Then I’d retire, and pretend nobody named “Logan Paul” exists.

Which ironically is how the feds eventually got Al Capone.

Yeah, I had an employer screw me out of my final paycheck which would have been about $1100.  I honestly don’t believe he wanted to, not because he was a good guy (he was an idiot who’s decisions drove his business into bankruptcy) but because the last few weeks I worked there he was sending actual product to the…

Nobody is doing the “skateboard” concept of electric vehicles yet. Yet. A number of companies have floated the idea, but to date they’re all very individual cars with very different platforms.

Well yeah, but I was a kid of 10 or 11 years old, not an employee.

I am neither surprised, nor any less ignorant than I was before.

You’re welcome.  He was a great man.  We’ll get into his failings some other day.  Like the time he set himself on fire with a can of gasoline.  He was the local Volunteer Fire Chief at the time!

That bad, eh?

Back in the 1960's my Grandfather was a partner in a small ruralish Ford dealership. He was a real good ol’ boy from Arkansas transplanted into small town Washington State, who looked, sounded, and acted just like Andy Griffith.

I’d like to have a word or two with Tracy’s wife:

Well, he’s deranged. I don’t know how he survived to this age. (80) He lived in Anchorage Alaska for about 7 years with that bike as his primary transportation. He did have a square body Bronco too, but he didn’t drive it much up there. He said the only days he didn’t ride to work were when it was icy. Snow and rain…

My Uncle had the RD350 version of that a few years later. Basically the same engine punched out significantly. He rode the ever living fuck out of that thing. Supposedly he put nearly 400,000 miles on it. You read that right. Back in the 70's he used to ride it back and forth from Atlanta to Washington State, then…

Funny, I dreamed of meters.

People in general. Particularly Asian women who’d walk in with pretty toenails all painted up and wearing bedazzled flip-flops. Stink to high heaven, and be dry and cracked and dirty on their soles.

As a (former, haven’t done it in years) Massage Therapist I can tell you without qualification that people who habitually wear sandals (usually flip-flops) have the grossest feet!

If these bozos spent half as much time supporting mothers in need and laws for easier adoption they could cut the abortion rate in half as well. Not to mention shelters for abused women and harsh penalties for domestic abuse.

The optimist in me agrees with you.  The realist in me knows that if we don’t prepare for the possibility of pissing off the religious portion of our society we will be in for a huge mess.

People on the “life is common” side of the argument forget that there is 100% more evidence for “life is rare” than evidence for their side. We know there’s life on Earth. We have no evidence whatsoever that there’s life anywhere else. It’s all conjecture and wishful thinking. Talk to me when you find even a microbe…
