It’s all about framing to make his hands look bigger. His hand is Tom Cruise, his body is Nicole Kidman and we are all stuck in a 3 year version of Eyes Wide Shut with extended corrupt orgies.

As I mentioned on the Gozmodo article on this it reminds me of a modern recreation of Von Braun's Space Ferry. All the best ideas are reborn eventually.

Should have done some research honestly, apparently the A's were the second oldest team this year... So yeah I was off base on this one.

I haven’t come across any analysis but I’ve always wondered what the numbers would look like for regular season vs playoff performance broken down by the number of years of professional experience. It seems like the big flaw for the A’s these last 20 years... They do well developing and acquiring young talented…

Very cool! I had not heard about that. Similar principle, absolutely.

I’ve always felt like a 2QB offense with one QB operating as a WR/TE out of the bunch would work. He could run a route, or drop back for a lateral as a QB with three blockers/receivers (likely TEs) and either throw or run. It’d be a nightmare for defensive coordinators and Linebackers/Safeties. Could play with the…

Here’s the thing... She lets me hunt, she lets me buy ‘toys’, I can go to a strip club with or without her, get a pet, blow my money at the track or on a longshot bet, play video games, go out with the guys, have female friends... there’s a very good reason she set that limit and I begrudgingly accept she was right. I…

Trump *is* getting dragged online right now for literally dragging his feet everywhere he goes over the last couple weeks. His health appears to be deteriorating rapidly, the manic energy running low. I don’t think he makes it to 2020 personally, but then I don’t think his adminstration makes it to 2020 either way.…

The only car on dealership lots I have any interest in buying new is the C8 Vette. We just got a new Focus for my wife last year so she should be set for another 3-4 years. My S2000 is getting long in the tooth (120K+ now) but is still running great and I have a hard time with the idea of letting it go, especially as…

Huh, I never knew it grew in weight so much from R32 to R34... I've always wanted a Skyline and assumed I would be better off waiting for the R34s to be legal for import, but now I'm thinking I'd probably prefer an R32...

Power to weight, weight transfer, shock stiffness, eating tires... Heavy cars aren't nearly as capable for precision driving as an equivalently sized and powered lighter car. These days we can do quite a bit to fight physics (torque vectoring, magnetic ride, tire compound/size, chassis stiffness) but you're still…

Faster from a roll I’m sure. The Z cars with the wide tire package will run low 13s stock, they’re decently quick. The biggest problem with the 370Z is the Mustang and Camaro exist and manage to provide better handling, power and arguably even driver feel. STs are a lot of fun though, took the opportunity to test…

Ok, just looked at the upcoming releases, I’m kind of excited for Refused ‘War Music’... Would be nice if that’s somehow a return to form.

Elon Musk is clearly a manchild, which makes those accusations far creepier as it's likely some form of projection.

I guess it’s either going to be a month I check out a bunch of bands I don’t know or it’ll be a month of surprise hip hop releases (because those don’t seem to get release dates half the time anymore, thanks Beyonce).

Elon, my man, come on in, take your shoes off please. Thanks for the coffee but I think go with a beer right now since it’s 8PM and I already worked a full day from 830 to 530, as well as handling some personal business after work. Want one?

Nio is on the ropes because they have zero margin selling SUVs at $40K+ USD that they produce through a third party relationship while the government is eliminating the subsidies new EV manufacturers received. It’s bad news to be expensive to produce with *no* production assets, but to be in that price range in China…

‘Sir’ is what I use for everyone that ‘works for’ me— servers, bartenders, cashiers, etc. They deserve that occasional ounce of respect.

Holy Fuck

If the A’s manage to take out the Rays I think they stand a good chance against the Astros; they play in the same division so there’s a familiarity factor, both teams have had pretty comparable records for the second half of the season (4 more wins for Houston) and the As were able to take the series about a month…
