If you have a manual, don’t use your brakes to slow down. Only engine brake, then only use actual brakes if you need more sotpping power. Because it wears out your brakes, of course! Nevermind a new clutch is about 10 times the expense of a new set of brake pads and the technique doesn’t give you any progressive…

Storytime.

I’m just impressed the Verstappen v Hamilton battle is pop culture enough to make a mention. 

Wait, some people only got Transformers on Saturday morning? In first run when I was a kid it was every weekday afternoon at 4, followed by GI Joe at 4:30. In the mornings it was Thundercats at 6:30 and either Silverhawks or Bravestar at 7.

Weirdly enough, they are in fact business partners.

A good friend of mine works for one of the most famous restaurants in the state, maybe the country... in some circles the world. He has health care, a 401K, an actual salary that I promise is at least twice what Mr. Bae is offering, and honest god danged time off. Yeah, he still works horrendous hours as you’d expect,…

Cool. So cooks and trained chefs should just accept sub-human conditions and wages because goddammit, that’s just how it is.

Oh jesus fucking christ. Some people will defend the devil because obviously women are worse.

Keep pushing your rape culture, misogyny, racism, and objectively horrible asshole loving fascist agenda...

That’s a terrible take. I’d go so far as to say it’s an objectively, factually incorrect opinion. It’s just plain wrong. The act of interpreting a melody, even if there are no lyrics, is a pure form of artistic expression. Voice, trumpet, guitar, sticks on a turtle shell, doesn’t matter. I dare you to do some research…

I was thinking today about The Force Awakens, and how even though I had and still have significant issues with that movie, it made me excited and happy and nostalgic and it was fun. I had fun! 

Although the mother of all space battles was just a catastrophe. What even was that. Rogue One and Return of the Jedi and even Revenge of the Sith - that’s how you do a battle scene that shows the audience the scope, scale, and stakes in every shot, while still giving you glimpses into the goings on of the individual…

Any franchise, really. Star Wars has fired numerous directors over the past decade, at least on the film side of the studio. The TV folks seem to have a better handle on letting directors infuse episodes of a show with their own signature vibes.

Aren’t they illegal in NYC and most of big cities, though?

It sounds like Exile... -era Rolling Stones.

Unless you’re avoiding dangerous wildlife - and most of the truly dangerous varieties would have no real trouble clambering up the hood and roof of a truck - I see zero reason a rooftop tent makes any sense, aside from the wow factor. You can get a basic teardrop trailer for about $1500 more BUT with far more useable a…

My experiences in modern America indicate a significant percentage of our population is just going around looking to hit someone.

This is truly the worst timeline.

The concept of fatherhood in America is still Go to work and earn money, show love through only through discipline, neglect isn’t neglect but making them realize your time and attention is better spent on your career.

I’m so happy I kept my N64 and most of my games...
