TBH, I don’t play it. But, my girls and 1 son do. And their experience is that the weak sauce of Anniversary drops by Mihoyo isn’t much of a good time. It’s not like they were expecting some super great stuff but were looking for some interesting stuff of which little if ever happened. The bigger complaints were more…

Ayup. Check it :

Back in the day, Orange Julius used to put raw eggs into an orange drink on request. I wonder if Canada does that still?

Mafia dudes probably in the Dominican Republic like that other guy who got caught on Youtube cooking.

Not quite correct. Tesla has a road service assistance program like all other OEMs. Depending on who the secondary contractor is (who manages contracting with individual service providers-the actual tow truck shops), regionally speaking, there may only be a few contracted service providers. On any particular day,…

Basically, old school Formula Ford. Sweet.

The answer is simple. Just squeegee the track, kind of how you rake the forest. And turn off the water too. BTW. I mean, really. Come on.

One should try to find the aftermath photos of that Superformance MkIII Cobra crash yesterday. The driver, an LA Sheriffs Deputy, died; he was ejected and that was that. I don’t know if the car had seat belts but the passenger survived.

Reminds me of that stolen Landie years ago (1990s?) in LA which had, IIRC, some helicopter TV exposure. Anyways, after it was disabled or broke down after considerable shenanigans, Encino Land Rover ended up with it and displayed it out in front of their sales room, perched up at angle in all its battered glory to…

It’s the Kinja feature!

This is awesome. I’ve been waiting for these updates.

Now, if I can only get my hands on a PS5, I should be good to go!

The fact that Kinja allows the commenting to be the way it is and linking to be broken for months and months, if not years is a self-imposed statement on the quality of product they release. It’s an embarrassment that should not be endured yet we have to put up with it for some bizarre reason. If one wants to leave…

50% of the population are FauxNtertainment watchers and believers. While not 100% of those are anti-vaxxers, a significant percentage is and/or just chicken shit. Could be as many as 30%-40% of those so it’s a substantial number of idiots out there.

Tires on helmets give cause for a little extra introspection.

The neon is mainly in Tokyo and just in a few areas. It’s not like Osaka is overrun with Ginza-like neon lighting. In most of Tokyo, it’s not any different than any city in the US. Some popular areas have a lot of lighting but it’s really just a few well-known spots. The rest? Normally lit. I’m going to watch this but…

LOL

Normally, I’d be in agreement. It is after all a series of emotionally “calculated” risks. However, a “slow”-speed corner is different enough from a high-speed bend that Maxs’ calculation of who was going to get through first was entirely wrong. So wrong, that he shunted himself even before he landed on top of Ham. In…

A few things :
1) Recently, many folks have lamented the incident at Silverstone between these 2. Many of the complaints have centered around how an accident at a high-speed corner is extremely hazardous and thus should have high penalties. Without going into blame, this incident highlights how a slower-speed corner…

LOL, as a lifelong myopic, I’ve learned that doing things even a little active can cause glasses to simply disappear. I haven’t lost any pairs over the deck edge on ships but got awfully close when I was on the Yorktown and a stiff breeze showed up and my glasses were perched up on top. They flew off but hit my wife…
