KTLA, for years of me growing up, it was a station that came free, just like community access, because all they had were bad talk shows and old movies. Some were awesome, like the old Pippi Longstockings movies badly dubbed from Swedish, schlocky films like “Journey to the Center of the Earth or The land That Time…

...and they don’t care who they hurt in the process.

There has been a similar open-source project in the ham radio community here in the US, building wireless data network infrastructure that will provide coverage in the event of emergencies.

“I don’t see the problem with this.”

The Enterprise D from Star Trek TNG has the same problem. I saw it as uterus, ovaries, etc. the pilot episode, and was never able to unsee it.

Kuai is a better safe spot than is Maui. (It also has the other Tin Can Mailman bookstore, which Maui certainly lacks.) Just saying.

Hmm, an Apple car. So, it will come out with models that people will obsessively buy every 12 months to maintain their perceived coolness, and will have no user serviceable parts because the manufacturer has an unhealthy obsession with “walled garden” engineering models?

Now hold on. Germany was engaged in a lot of “blue sky” research, but they were not the sole source that some people like to believe they were. The US and England both had active jet engine development programs that led to vastly more useful engine and airframe designs than did Nazi efforts. The USSR had its own…

Don’t rely on what fiction/Hollywood might tell you. EMP from a nuclear airburst would be bad, but not the civilization-ending event (aside from, you know, nukes being used, likely in abundance...) that it is frequently portrayed as being. A “moderate” solar event, creating induction loads in every power transmission…

My dad bought new a chevy 1500 in 1995-6. With the towing package, it could pull horse trailers, but slowing them down was a somewhat problematic, and it ate transmissions (an F350 diesel took over the towing duties,) but using it in capacities that didnt require towing horses, it was a great platform. Good handling…

IDGAF about the game, and I am really tired of the Chargers screwing San Diego out of money. Why do they need a new stadium when they cannot fill the one they have? that was the same bullshit arguement that led to the $1+ billion waste-of-space ballpark for the damm Padres.

I think this is in the wrong place to confess the why you modified your care, I think we are in interested in the what.

Hey, that approach worked well for Reza Shah Pahlavi. Well, until it didn’t due to the Seriously Anti-Fun Brigade (and pesky human rights activists).

Try learning how to actually play one.

That’s dependent on your opinion of said cat.

Bassoonists. “Oh, my instrument is clearly better, because its faaar too expensive for any of you plebeians to afford one.”

I’d never heard of this instrument before. This is for trumpet players trying to be edgy and cool.

Brown manual turbodiesel wagons are fraking sacred.
