That’s sort of the way it is with just about any older car. You find and fix the bugs and quirks and replace the wonky bits and you just might end up with a decently reliable car ... or ... an endless project.

“Shoes and shirts with no logos ... ?” Yes.

I know, right?

I’m a grandmother, not a prick, although I’ve been known to be a bit insufferable. And, I’ve never been in prison. Damn, angry much?

First, no. Second, not one.

Wow, it must be really nice in your reality. Over here in real reality, for-profit prisons are more hellish because of fewer guards, fewer staff, no programs, and a prison rape culture that thrives.

Practically guaranteed, “get out of jail free,” card: “I didn’t see the motorcycle, your honor.”

Justice, to be sure. But, a bit less than what I’ve long proposed for those who run motorcyclists off the road, or try to run them off the road. Now that we live in a world in which more and more states are letting anybody at all openly carry firearms, and are also enacting, “stand your ground,” laws, my solution…

A surprisingly good car. Worked for a man who swore by it since he never missed a work day because of snow, apart from the occasional blizzard that would keep everyone home. Not my cup of tea, but he loved it.

I dunno ... the weakest link in the Wankel are those seals that must be perfect for the engine to run well. Fifteen years is a long time for any seal. Plenty of time for drying and cracking and failing ...

Don’t even try, my dear. Participating in theoretical models of military/political events was part of my work during the late 70s-early 80s. I am very aware of all the possibilities.

It rang true because of its recognition of the geopolitical realities of the time. MAD was real. Automated retaliatory responses were/are real. Anyone who believes nuclear war is survivable is uninformed or deluded.

Not most of us.

He doesn’t have the respect of the old. Stop believing the divisive lie that everybody over 50 supports him, the GOP, or any of the destructive crap they’re peddling. We are in this together, young and old.

Read, twit. If you actually read what I wrote, your silly statement will be revealed as the lacking-in-fact, air-past-the-teeth-and-tongue nonsense it is.

And, just what is the level of strontium-90 in your bones and teeth?

This is actually one of the most irresponsible pieces of, “journalism,” I’ve read in a very long time. There is no, “advice,” for surviving what cannot be survived. If anyone makes it through not just the initial strikes, but the torrents of automatically launched retaliatory strikes, nobody will survive the decades…

Read. Automatic responses. No human control. Not set up for any, “limited exchange,” but complete destruction. Few will survive the initial days of explosions everywhere. Nobody will survive decades, or even centuries of nuclear winter. Read, dammit.

It’s all lies. There is no safe distance. There is no safe place. Even if anyone survives the actual nuclear exchanges, nobody can hide from nuclear winter. And, you won’t see the particles that you breathe in and out and settle on your hair and skin and irradiate you. This is why we demanded nuclear disarmament and…

Stop this now. There is no safe distance from a nuclear explosion. Remember wind? How it moves here and there? How, after a nuclear explosion, it will carry radioactive particles for miles and miles and miles far beyond the initial blast site?
