Antisemitism is nothing new with people who have influenced us to this day. Martin Luther’s antisemitic writings are another huge example that gets routinely ignored in discussions of Luther as well. Add in racism and you hit people like Woodrow Wilson (who berated W.E.B DuBois in the White House for his…

Yep - If I manufactured a small outdoor grill for use on apartment balconies or outside tiny houses, I’d be reaching out to her quickly.

And who would use vacuum lines for pop up headlights?

+1 Zombie Sonics to you

And all we’ve done up here is have a record setting ice-hole in the Oval Office.

Love the Avanti call out - there was a guy in my town who daily drove one of those in the 90's that I would see once or twice a week on the way to school.

I’ve done it but, like you, there are conditions.

Tucker looks like an NBA 2K player who’s battery on his controller just went dead.

That thing looks sweet.  How about mileage, road noise, and overall driving ergonomics (visibility, control placement and usability, anything you can find out about maintainability).  Also - when will the variable compression engine get here?  If it’s in five years, then who cares - too far in the future to be…

In rugby, the Television Match Official (TMO) can opine on missed calls of either high severity or high impact and page the referee on the field that something needs reviewed. Rather than make things review-able/challengable, why don’t we put someone there accountable to the integrity of the sport to ensure that…

No - I believe it was an oversight between two teams engineering separate sides of the engine (crankcase vs timing).  It’s not an excuse, but I believe this would be how it came to make it to market.

Not everything is foreseen by engineers when a product is being developed. And this engine debuted on this truck in ‘88 - which means it was being engineered in ‘85 into ‘86 - waaaay before computer simulations of multiple hundred thousand miles were even dreamed of.

“We don’t normally drink on the Bridge”

You forgot about “with a mouth full of cinnamon”

This exactly - if this was a guy blowing a vuvuzela as loud as possible or ringing a cow bell at the top volume ever they would need to go as well.  She was asked to stop because she was FUCKING ANNOYING not because she was a woman.

Powerful writing Mack.  Thank you for your story.  These losses in life will shape you for the negative or the positive (probably both).  I know they have for me over my rapidly-approaching-40 years.  Carry on as your brother pushed you and embrace those times when his memory rings your head like a bell.

The tolerances and overall quality control are a huge issue. Back in the day, all of these things were built on-site but that resulted in a less efficient production stream. Compare the difference in efficiency of a site-built home vs. a modular unit that is built offsite and assembled. There is always much less…

Bonus points for using ‘Asymptotically’ correctly in a Kinja post.
