When you have barely nothing, 5-10$ can be a lot. It is hard to see though; around here, we see a lot of guys with ancient beatup pickups hauling big loads of worn out metal (washers, fridges, garden furniture, etc.) who like to hit homes being rebuilt. Then they take whatever scrap metal they can. The same for the…

This is the whole point of this design. No dies necessary or stamping. You just need some big sheetmetal brakes. They’re not particularly expensive to get and the ss tech fastening is not exotic. So while cheap ss is more expensive than typical sheet metal used, they save by eliminating the dies, stamping process and…

Well, it’s cheap to make. That’s mainly what it’s all about. Just really need a big panel bender and that’s about it. It is supremely terrible looking though but to some who do like brutal architecture, it makes a statement. It’s just that it’s up to the buyer to interpret it in a sensical way. So it just becomes a…

I used to be a huge fan of his. I still respect his accomplishments and deeds but what he did to Ed Dwight was not good. Sure it was the times and all that but as commandant of Edwards, he had the chance to advance the system. But instead he went the easy route. Edwards has always been a bit of a conservative place…

Maybe, maybe not. Some go straight to the smelter. It’s only a discerning guy who sorts through the steel looking for something specific who might pick out an engine block or heads. Most of the time, even if it does come out of a heap, there’ll be cracks or damage or it’s not even a decent rebuild value. If the blocks…

Ahh, Brainerd. They have a very nice road race track there which also has a very nice drag race track too. Flat as a pancake but hey, the people and racing are good so what’s to complain? Seasonal, of course, but it only makes one appreciate it more, right? 

Actually, it’d be more like ‘House of Hoes : the Sharpest Cut’ which would the first in the series about a family which owns a bunch of salons in some town and based on some twisted Shakespearean treatment. The second one would be titled, ‘HoH, Ho Down’ which would be about the Catholic Hos during Xmas and various…

Money. That’s it for this kind of family. They saw the Kardashians and said, ‘hey, watch me, I can do it with some culture’. Heh, jokes on them. But I guarantee you there are some VN families in every Little Saigon in the US that are going green with envy even if the Hos look like idiots.

ATT / Warner. A shotgun marriage by people who corresponded by mail for a couple of months. Really, what did you expect from people who are hq’ed in Dallas and think they know what they’re doing about entertainment? Stankey is about as knowledgeable about media as any reality tv show host. It’s Crissleys go Asian as…

Actually, it’s a phenomenon not strictly gamer related. In fact, well before, game conventions, “video” games, or even sci-fi conventions existed, industrial conventions were quite prevalent. In the car industry, for instance, models or at least glamorous looking women were frequently employed to be seen or…

Got to be data entry at best, no? Who the hell would hire a bat-sh*t wack like that for work? Hold that. Happens all the time turns out.

This is one of the times that hearing IT contractor automagically makes me think data entry and makes me regret that the term even exists. Even if I use it. 

Amen, bro. They have a mystery that just can’t be divined.

They’re indoctrinated. Too many people drank the Kool-Aid, swallowed the red pill, ate the hook, line and sinker. It’s amazing how belief works. And how people cannot deny the belief, probably because it would destroy their entire world view. Not allowable, even if it means their own destruction.

I’d like to see all of the above. When you went to Germany to collect your Euro-Dodjiban, many commenters were very interested in the process of making the van, not only roadworthy, but registration-worthy. Many sites inform about the process of renting, owning, or driving a car overseas. But very very few go through…

Good on you, man. It’s always great to see movement forward. You just went to Germany and its environs. Looking forward to see more posts on that trip. How about Britain next? Or maybe Japan? Italy? HK might not be great (don’t know how it’s going for your brother there?) but maybe if you did something with Torch at…

A lot of people here pointing fingers at the Tangerine Tantrum. Everyone should be pointing fingers at the GOP, Moscow Mitch as well. They support QAnon and all the militia conspiracists. All those bastards give Agent Orange room to diddle about; they’re equally guilty of subverting the US, wrecking democracy with all…

Right?

Hey, I’m wheel down with that analysis.
