I can’t tell if Antifa is a bullshit excuse for the alt-right to use to make up a villain, or a valid response to the racist fascism of the alt-right. I’m leaning toward “both” these days. You know how you avoid being confronted by anti-fascists? Don’t be a fucking fascist.

One thing I’ll admit to is feeling like not every “gender norm” should be treated like overt sexism. Is the concept of a “gender norm” inherently sexist? Yes, but I don’t think it’s sexist in the same way someone saying “Women can’t do X.” is. A gender norm is something that can be subverted with a shrug and…

During WWII when women were programming, they were also flying for the Army Air Force, and serving in construction and technical roles all over the nation while the men were overseas kicking Nazi ass. Why did they stop? Because the men came home and punted them back into the kitchen, not because they were in any way…

The basic summary of his entire posting was “Women aren’t as good as men.”

Either way it’s served as a great litmus test for separating Facebook acquaintances into different piles.

The Nazi party wasn’t “The Nazis” until well after they’d already gained the power that let them *become* “The Nazis” that we think of today. What we see today is similar enough to those early days of the Nazi rise to power, that yes, the comparison is valid.

Super underrated, I was pretty bummed that it got cancelled.

Uh, the Wink hub bricking lasted only a short few days, they gave everyone a credit for device purchases, and the “bricks” weren’t bricked completely.

I thought that was Bigfoot, but no, I don’t think it was. Bigfoot had a full cabin, that one was open-top.

That picture is from when I first got it, but my friend was an inattentive clutz so he tore the fabric covering over the rubber door seals with his belt or something. He also left the sunroof open without moving the mechanism for months at a time, and so it seized up and can only tilt open on one side. He never bought…

The manifold is a funky one, but it is indeed a standard non-transverse V8.

I dunno, $50,000 in 1990's money isn’t that budget.

The first gen Q45 was really built as a driver’s car, they softened it up in 1994, but not so much that they took away the fun of that “278" horsepower RWD configuration.

It’s good enough plastic stuff that you’d have a tough time telling it from the real leather that’s all over the rest of the car.

Yep, on all the 1990-1993 models, those plastic guides were a death sentence.

They really fixed most of those cosmetic issues with the refresh in 1994, and one of the things they changed was to make it more like a traditional luxury car. The first few years had much firmer seats, and a more aggressive transmission.

My second car was a 1991 929S, the model just before that one. My third car was 1997 Milennia S, which was followed by a Q45.

Have one. Love it. Loved it more before a former friend trashed it while planning to buy it, but that’s the risk you take.

Y’know, maybe that explains why he’s got a wife that seems fully aware that she’s just there to make him look good. Maybe she’s his beard as well?

Actually, no. The FAA rule is that you need to notify the airport’s operator and tower (if there is one) if you want to fly within 5 miles of an airport, to tell them where you want to fly, how high, and how long, so air traffic control can give you a go-ahead or a no-go.
