As anti-war as I am, and find most “defense” spending to be on wasteful bullshit that we as a species should have evolved past a need for by now, I have soft spot for the A-10. I grew up near England AFB- 23rd Tactical Fighter Wing Flying Tigers- when they were still stationed there. Was in CAP as a kid there. There’s…

Somehow this doesn’t surprise me. I hate to generalize, but the last couple of weeks in particular, here in KC at least, I’ve noticed that something like 80% of the blatant assholism I’ve encountered has been perpetrated by Nissan drivers. It’s unfriggin’canny.

“Asshole, systemic problems call for systemic solutions.”

Kinda cool, but overpriced. CP.

I’d be really happy to end up with a split ticket of one for POTUS and one as VP, I really don’t know how much I care which is which. I want both in there. That would be ideal.

Or your flaming skull/ scantily-clad skank tank tops? NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Agreed. 

Of course they’re trying to start a war...follow the money, and the not-even-thinly veiled attempt at distraction as the leadup to elections gathers steam. I’m no fan of modern-day Iran, but FFS...

That was really great. Thanks for sharing!

2nd: GM would also like to find ways to reduce its roughly $900 million annual health care bill

AWESOME.

The issue around here with cyclists isn’t that they use phones while riding.  It’s that they don’t follow rules or often even simple courtesy, and assume that they can just kind of do whatever whenever and traffic has to somehow not only be clairvoyant enough to know what their intentions are but must disregard all…

This.

This is not the news about him I was hoping to hear this morning. :/

At least MY breath doesn’t smell like Bezos’ junk. 

How about you choke on it? :)

I hope this actually is her voice, and that more is found. Much as I love her art, her writing (and if this is her, speaking) is something special. This description of Rivera is great.

...and my boycott of Amazon continues, much as it has for at least 4 years or so now. Fuck them. 

In fact, on the plus side (bearing in mind her dad has a shop and tools), it worked out well for my niece, she got a decent car with minor issues cheap, and it served well as a learning-to-wrench car for her as she was first getting a license a couple of years ago. There was definitely something to be said for her…

Oh, it wasn’t in great shape- the interior was buggered from aftermarket accessories and the stereo being stolen. Body and mechanicals looked alright though. This one was an xB that looked like someone had stolen it, taken off a bunch of aftermarket mostly cosmetic tuner junk, then it was recovered later. I don’t…
