I was looking out of the windows at SLC airport at what I think were B2 Spirit bombers (they were far away).

This reminds me of that.

I thought blacked out stuff was really cool for a minute, then I didn’t.  I think this is cool though.  It reminds me of the matte black from Need For  Speed Underground.  (I still think…

The <s>current</s> ongoing homelessness crisis is a direct result of 40 years of Reaganomics. When people kvetch about the homeless in Portland like they do about SF, SEA, or (insert city here) as if that epidemic is the fault of local government, I like to point out that I remember a high profile camp (and its subesqu…

Close the doors and peform an hour or so of engine testing with the back of the plane pointed toward the hangar where he’s yapping.

“Chopper talk this; you dipshit”

Agree.  In the same way that if you continually run down the cities, you should be barred from coming here when you or your family need specialist medical care.

“performatively shrieking”  almost like they are signalling their virtues...

I’ve been kicking around the idea for a couple weeks (who knows, like many of my ideas it probably isn’t even original) that their belief in the crazy conspiracy theories is a direct result of their brains cracking under the strain of cognitive dissonance.

“It’s the way it gets you from place to place that matters.”   Because I like cars I appreciate how the meaning of this sentence is subtly but importantly changed by the modifier “It’s the way”.

Otherwise you’re hewing dangerously close to grandfather territory with that sentence.

:D

Finally getting around to apologizing for the X3 huh?

A very close ex-friend was complaining about how bad the Obama economy was.

When I pointed out to him that when the Cheney administration left office, he was living in a hovel apartment with a cool, yet 25 year old hoopty Peugeot that did not run more often than it ran.

But after 7 years of a Obama, he owned a 3 bedroom…

Build the wall, you know, for unity.

I lived overseas for a decade after university; “Are you saying taxes for sweepstakes prizes are paid by the donors, and medical care is free at the point of delivery? Like for anybody?”

Advantage Europe.

This reminds me of a photo I once saw on an awful website called rotten.com (why was that ever a thing???) showing a motorcycle rider who purportedly landed face first while not wearing a (full face?) helmet.

I had a parking space at 16th and Irving which cost $325 a month.

It’s equal parts memorable as laughable because I once moved out of an apartment in Buckman in Portland because $325/month was too expensive for a one bedroom, by myself, which had it’s own bathroom and was upstairs from an old age pensioner who always…

horseshit

“Stores ask you for shoes and shirts all the time and there is not an issue”

And you can bet your ass that if it was the reactionaries being asked to wear shoes and not the dirty hippies, we’d hear the exact same screeching from them.

4 Americans, (at least) two of whom were filthy mercenaries.

Prototipo El Diablito.

Or the head of their group whoever that is (though at this level of wealth and power, he’s likely to be the “head” of that harem)

I was just saying yesterday on a thread about WWF, that i had an interview at their headquarters in Woking 20 years ago, (where I saw my first R34 between the train station and the office), and that I most likely blew the interview by bringing up Mclaren during the Q&A portion of the interview.
