Literally the same design I had for my pine derby car in Boy Scouts like decades ago. I guess I was ahead of my time.

Is this related to, somewhat or otherwise, “economies of scale”? If so, I learned that in high school. Which makes me more knowledgeable, or at least more caring of it, than these idiots?

Surely Muck would never promise something only for it to not happen. Anyways, I look forward to sending to Mars in 2026 like said would happen if Kamala wasn’t elected.

I believe it’s the same in Japan (and/or Korea?), IIRC. Which is why foreign Youtubers and streamers living in Japan (and/or Korea?) who travel abroad to countries where weed is legal still don’t partake. It’s not worth the risk of essentially getting deported for them. 

As an adult with zero kids: I need this. 

And that’s why I still don’t understand why anyone can take his claims seriously, especially these days. Aside from the entire history of his claims rarely coming to actual fruition, or at least in the way he promised, saying people are going to Mars in a few years is OBJECTIVELY fucking stupid and ridiculous. I know…

So, we get Ruboven AND people on Mars* in just a few years?! It’s almost unbelievable!

“...they’d rather almost kill someone than get off at the next exit and turn around.”

I live in SF and totally agree. I donated my car since I had a monthly trans pass for work anyways and I could get anywhere pretty easily, but not necessarily quickly, via MUNI. Taxis were a pain due to supply and demand but with rideshare and zipcar, I essentially never need a personal vehicle. Do I miss it? YUP. I…

They’re totally goofy...but also totally lovable. How can you not like that adorableness?

“...then why do they have to dig so deep and make false claims about a tragedy like this one in order to justify their fear mongering?”

“Every afternoon the four-lane was literally a raceway of teenage-driven bus drivers trying to outdo each other, with dozens of kids on those buses screaming and cheering and shouting at each other.”

When I still rode the bus in high school, my driver was awesome. We literally drove right by my house so one day I asked him if he could save me the time and effort and drop me off and he did for the entire I kept riding the bud. Pretty sure he could’ve been fired for letting a kid off the bus at a non-stop but dude…

As someone who’s balding and thinking about a hair transplant...I’m good. 

Tax credits and tax incentives are not generally a very good thing

I wasn’t seated at a Denny’s in some shithole near Yosemite in liberal paradise California because they thought I was Latino. I’m half-Japanese. I only got seated because my blonde girlfriend (at the time) came back from the bathroom and was asked by the hostess before she figured out we were together. How do I know I…

These are always fun because I get to enjoy people raging at their state’s shitty drivers while nodding that my state has the exact same drivers. Obviously some stereotypes are stronger than others (like us in Cali freaking out at the mere sight of rain sprinkles, which is true but also kind of with good reason) but,…

It’s probably not all that unique to the state but (apparently) having to make into law that you need to move away from the far right lane when emergency vehicles are pulled because people kept drifting into them is crazy. I found this out when I visited my dad who moved there but this was about 15 years ago so maybe…

I’ve seen enough relatively simple “van-life” conversions of Elements on YT to have my interest in those vehicles. 

I live in a large tourist city and my biggest issue is when tourists downtown just stop in the middle of the sidewalk to gawk, look at a map, take a picture, etc. MOVE TO THE FUCKING SIDE, FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST.
