3…2…1… Rant….

Im stealing the word clamshit.... I cant stop laughing...

This reminds me of a Steven wright joke...

I was in the grocery store. I saw a sign that said "pet supplies". So I did. Then I went outside and saw a sign that said "compact cars".

I don't really care what's fair to Automakers on how much pollution they can spit out. At this point I should be able to pick up a used PHEV with 300 hp and a hard to quantify, but understood to be high, mpg. Instead the only rwd, potentially fun used hybrids out there are the Lexus GS450h, which is too big, and the…

The government classified it as eight tanks!

That's bothered me for a long time - the fact that while it takes somebody a lot of time, money, certifications, testing and re-testing to be licensed to drive a bus or semi-truck, 88 year-old FuckStick McGee can go out and buy an RV the size of a Greyhound bus and is considered fully qualified to drive it with the…

Can't really single out the EPA when every state has even worse rules. The fact that people can use a standard license to drive vehicles like Suburbans, duallies and even RVs is insane. Most of these people are shitty drivers and they make most roads terrible for everyone else. Compared to that, saying an Hellcat was…

I present to you the Corvette Trifecta, 345 Edition, or, what I would call The Three Legged Stool Of Corvette Collector $50k Perfection... the Three Musketeers of Plastic Fantastic!

With the upcoming Z06 and interest in Vettes to younger people increasing, I say this 1966 427/390 Corvette

It's the throwaway lines that have held up better than the scenes that were supposed to be memorable. I can't tell you how many times I have arrived at a destination that is disappointing and said, "That John Denver is full of shit." Or lines like "His head fell off".

The creationists I've read claim that the transitional hominid fossils are "clearly" either apes or deformed humans. (Oddly, they can't agree which are which, considering it's supposed to be so obvious.) Their position is reinforced (in their minds) by having incorrect information about the fossils - they tend to…

I understand where you're coming from. I really do. But we are in a position where people are (loudly) arguing with modern biology, not on the basis of competing evidence, simply because they feel it presents a danger to their religious views.

Evolution is important because it if people don't accept it, they're rejecting the same method of acquiring knowledge that has allowed mankind to build bridges, electricity, heating, cooling, automobiles, the internet, etc, and that's dangerous. We use the same scientific method to figure out evolution was happening…

No, that's a good point. Evolution forms the basis of modern biological science, and is the key to understanding things such as antibiotic resistance. Also, it forms the basis of our understanding of the origins of life itself. Who would want to talk about boring, unimportant shit like that? Let's talk real shit.

Because the "proof" they want is a fossil that's half-Elephant and half-Hippo because they're so dumb that's what they think evolution is.

lol @ your saying that the foundation of modern biology is "pointless"

Evolution is important because when you see how it developed, you understand how all the disciplines of science interact, how an idea is formulated, how it is tested, and how to draw conclusions based on those tests. It's the scientific method in action and what I learned from it informs how I see the world even…
