Ahh, yes, the infamous Hegelian process. Ehhh, for every Che Guevara, Marx, Castro(s), or such, there’s a matching thug from the opposite perspective sooner or later. A means to material ends justifies a lot for conservatives reactionaries just as much as it does for leftist reactionaries.

Geez, that’s fast. Sounds great.

Sounds weird, but in the used car market, much less the used racecar market, what else is new? I mean, look at how Ferrari used to deal with their engine users back in the 60s and 70s; they’d get a broken engine from a team and swap parts around to get a running motor but used, not even fully refreshed necessarily ,…

In my locale, it’s considered not only a greater status symbol than most MB or Audi but falls into line with ecological concerns; we still like to breathe in LA. We also have a huge market of Prius, etc. so a lot people are joining the electric ranks. I think the Model X actually outsold the S for a while last year.…

And here comes Porsche with the Taycan; guess they want some of that.....

Oh yeah, that’s not bad either. Many years ago, when visiting an early Steve Earle Monterey Historics, 1980? 81? a friend and I camped out in the hills near there. Too poor to afford real housing , we parked on a fire/access road under some trees just off a street. It was down a slight grade so to see us, one would…

Back before the interwebs times, KTLA channel 5 in LA had a fairly sophisticated SF broadcasting regime (aside from broadcasting ST:TOS uncut on occasion), they would do most of the Toho - Godzilla/Kaiju stuff. This was in the ‘60s and ‘70s. But they also did a lot of Hammer stuff and also Quatermass and the Pit; as a…

Laguna... well, you have to go into town where it can be pricey. Chopstix or Plates Com Tam are pretty good Vietnamese and affordable as well; there’s plenty of Mexican there too. Or go to Salinas where there’s plenty of more affordable yet decent Mexican.

Karma exists to the extent that, more often than not, we do influence our own future through our own actions. Whether or not it’s a cumulative effect a la Hindu or Buddhist belief is almost immaterial. A plutocrat like Ford who imposed a certain worldview through his personal propaganda ensured that his legacy is…

Hey, you can broaden your historical horizon a little and read up a bit and learn about ‘America First’, Woodrow Wilson (quite a bit of a racist himself), and how it relates to current day events.

Hmm, this is one problem technocrats have nowadays as well. Apparently, all that money blinds them to realities beyond their view; Facebook, Google, Apple, Uber, etc. etc., they all seem to view themselves as higher-level and that their existence trumps the problems they create. Must be part of the human condition....

He used Harry Bennett and his Ford Service Department, aka Internal Security to kill Ford workers who were protesting at the ‘Hunger March’ organized by the local unions. Basically, Bennett is sociopathically identical to most right-wing apologists.

That’s true as far as US ways of doing things since we had a capitalist bent from pre-Day1. Not quite the same in Europe. Plus, not sure that Tom Brady as an example is the best take; it’d be more like Robert Kraft telling the team to get rid of Gronk, Allen, and half the WRs because Brady has the best numbers and can…

That’s dinghy.

I’ll tell ya one thing, those pixelated seats make me dizzy.

After binging this and seeing the negative spin on ‘The Punisher’ with the supposed loss of ‘50%’ of viewers, I had to think a little about the show before posting. In general, I don’t have too many complaints about the Bernthal version other than the rapid recovery from very vicious beatings is pretty miraculous.…

Late to the game here, but in my location, we have this problem where on multi-lane city streets, many people will use the far right lane to pass everyone. Typically, these speed demons will get to a light with a group of cars. Most people leave the right lane alone since most people use that for turning right. But…

Or fancy Hot Wheels.....

I wonder how the distribution side of the game works, or if there’s even a distribution side of it. Since farmers can grow vast amounts of stuff (depending on their acreage), the distribution is super important for if one cannot get it to market, you may as well not even grow it. For that matter, does it manage…
