Acosta was told by higher-ups to give Epstein the sweetheart deal because “he belongs to intelligence”. Acosta said this when he was vetted for the labor secretary job, when Epstein wasn’t in the news, and he had no reason to even mention this.

If this - and a fraction of the other evidence - is true, then Epstein wasn’…

The reason we’re shitting on Techlord Elon is that he hasn’t done anything. He’s built a tunnel. This is something humans have been able to do for quite a long time. Now he’s showing the tunnel and asking for other people’s money to do the difficult part, like all Silicon Valley scams (lol, Theranos :)).

It’s like…

Well, he has been selling flamethrowers to finance this...
Seriously though, a burning vehicle in a small tunnel like this would be a disaster. Not only to everyone in the entire tunnel system, but everyone around the exits too. And Tesla cars have a tendency to auto-ignite for no reason.

In a lot of these cases it’s insurance fraud, and the cars are hopeless beaters. I don’t think that’s the case this time, as it’s too organized.

In these poor areas, people have shitty rundown cars that they can’t sell, and repairs are getting increasingly uneconomical, so they pay some local hoodlum a few bucks to…

Swedish police has NEVER recorded the “race” of perpetrators. There’s no government database of races, no “race” box on forms, my ID card does not contain any info on “race”. So it would be impossible for the police to *stop* doing something that has never been possible. And yet, you seem to believe that the police…

He deserved to die of cancer.

I’d say 92. It has the old horizontal grille, the 93 and onward had a small upright one. The front wheel wells are also lower and chubbier, like on the 92.

I believe you got the wrong Hoover. Great article apart from that!

Also this:

Yeah, I don’t get their conclusion that the Maginot line “probably helped”, when it so painfully obviously did not.

*libertarian voice* Well, why should I pay for the complications you chose to have?

Wow, Putin went old school! This is how early Stalinist purges went down, when people were still artisanally assassinated. “Died in a car accident” was the official euphemism.

Like most swords, it has two edges. Like the katana of Nippon, those edges are unusually sharp.

I just take care of the pl... place while the mmm.... master’s away...

Th..thank you.... th..the m... master approves?

Maños - The Horns Of Fate

For anyone snarkily dismissing this as impossible or impractical, it has already been done successfully. Between 1942 and 1959 there was an electric truck route in Stockholm between the harbor at Kvarnholmen and the closest railway station.

Also Mitsubishi. Which literally means “three caltrops”.

But... why? Who invented this monstrosity? I’d understand vestigial things staying incorporated into the design for a few years. This seems like something they slapped on there decades after the thing it mimics stopped being a thing. It’s like a 2016 car having half a bugle on the driver’s side door.

Mustangs should have aroma detectors and 360 degree cameras with facial recognition software. If it detects the smell of coffee and more than two eyeballs directed at the car, it throttles the engine and automatically plays ABBAs “Dancing Queen” at a reasonable volume using external speakers. If you step on the gas,…
