Thanks! Was unaware at how these funds were apportioned. The usual fight between using state land area and state population to apportion funds was there since 1916 :)
Yep, Mike is an excellent story-teller, so I thought he should appear somewhere in this discussion. My favorite ocean liner will forever be the Normandie (I’m a sucker for any Streamline Moderne design), and her untimely and mostly unnecessary demise was a great tragedy, so now seeing the SS United States about to be w…
Agreed. It’s a travesty that the US federal government can’t find the funds to turn such a historic ship into a large floating museum, like the USS Intrepid in NYC, for instance. Then again, Congress will scarcely approve any funds to fix the thousands of decrepit bridges spread throughout the country waiting to…
So, he went from:
Just gotta make sure not to leave any nuclear weapons on the state, or NASA rockets for that matter, lest the newly-independent Floridians start launching them as futile attempts to slow down hurricanes heading towards them...
But..., but... he’s been right on it on so many occasions! Like when he predicted Theranos was the next Apple, and Elizabeth Holmes the next Steve Jobs! Oh, wait...
The Alfa Romeo Arna. Unreliable Italian tech adorned with Japanese Nissan Sunny looks, one of the worst and most boring cars ever made, and there is only one thing to do if you come across one...
Ha ha, this kind of problem has been plaguing Italian cars forever. I still remember when a friend of my father invited me along with my father to go pick uo his brand new Alfa 33 1.7 16 V Quadrifoglio Verde.
The penalty in question is for Max saying his car was “f...ed” during the Baku press conference. There was no way to bleep that because it was a live press conference (see the tweet below).
The Mercedes 500 E deserves a spot. Just the complexity of how it had to be shipped back and forth from Mercedes to Porsche and from Porsche to Mercedes in order to shoehorn that torquey 5.0 L V8 into the W124 engine bay that was never designed for it, plus the subtly enlarged wings and higher performance than the…
Where are the scrambled F16 jets with pilots on a hair-trigger when you need them? Hopefully that's the closest he will ever get to the White House...
On the positive side, his AR-15-style rifle and 1000 bullets of ammunition had not arrived yet that day... Or maybe it is easier to buy that legally in Kentucky than in the NYC area...
But they caught me on the backseat (It wasn’t me)
