This image gives me hope that we’ll get something at least akin to Megaton from FO3:

Newsom is pointing fingers elsewhere but at least some of the responsibility lies with the state.  No private entity should have been leased space under the fucking freeway.  

Yep, last year I bought a basic (round dial old school) set by GE after seeing nightmares of the high efficiency smart W&Ds friends had (clothes didn’t get clean, control panel display crapped out, etc.). As long as the washer gives me four water levels and four temp control options and the dryer gives me a few temp…

About 10 years ago I inherited my parents 1976 Maytag washing machine. It’s still working fine and to the best of my knowledge never been repaired. My daughter in laws 4 year old Samsung washing machine had a fault code show up on it’s screen. It turned out to be a bad vibration sensor,available only in a set of four…

Several years ago we replaced our washer and our dryer. The new ones came with wireless so we could “remotely” monitor the washing and drying. Why? WTF!

I avoid modem/router combo units like the plague, as having a separate modem and router is much more versatile. They don’t necessarily have to be in the same room, so if your cable outlet location is less than optimal, you can put the router in a better location and run Ethernet between them.

I am in the Major Home Appliance Industry for 42 years now, 19 as a service technician and 23 as a technical trainer to service companies. I have worked with manufacturers from Aga to GE to Samsung. So trust me when I tell you this;

Everybody has missiles. Even hyper-sonic ones. The U.S. says it doesn’t have hyper-sonic missiles. Don’t believe it for a second.

“If shooting starts, China may be a match for the U.S.”

Did it ever occur to you that maybe there isn’t some big decided-upon “view” on EVs and these journalists are just calling it like they see it and sometimes where these sites end up is just above or below what you personally think and therefore you feel like certain sites are particularly pro or anti EV?

As a pedestrian, I‘ve literally never had an issue with vehicles turning right on red. That's because I'm an intelligent human being who understands that it's important to make eye contact with the driver of that vehicle, or otherwise ensure that they are clearly not going to start moving when I step in front of them.…

Nah, leave it up to local municipalities to make their call. I’ve had countless hours of my life wasted yearly due to having to wait at intersections at red lights where absolutely zero cars passed through the intersection for the entirety of the light cylce as I was waiting for green. I’d add ban the bs left turn…

The power of foreshortening in the choice of camera lens and magnification.

It’s all in the lens. Here is the same intersection from a different perspective:

also anyone who gets permitted to leave the USSR to tour the states for 10 weeks is a dyed in the wool true believer.

In the end (and perhaps, quite predictably in Stalin’s USSR) the two find American culture has been wrapped into a vapid, one-dimensional worship of money and wealth which makes them miss their socialist homeland.

There are no Marxists anymore because they are all Leninists

USSR, Socialist Workers Paradise which did the Holodomor in 32-33

It’s typical of the bass ackwards sound bite over substance handling of passenger rail. The Northeast Corridor is the best use case for high speed rail in the country and runs on the oldest routes in the country. The unglamorous, politically difficult and expensive solution is a massive track improvement including…

Rail, the nineteenth century solution to eighteenth century transport problems.
