Funny how shocking being convicted and executed for a crime without any physical evidence based solely on another person’s testimony is.

Maybe a better idea is to forget about being politically active and paddle your own canoe because chances are you’re probably one of the 60% of Americans who have no financial safety net.  (Hint: social security isn’t going to pay for your retirement.)

Step 1: Be smokin’ hot.
Step 2: Identify the mark i.e. someone not hot.
Step 2: Bat your eyes or do whatever it is hot guys do to get people to do what they want.

My two drachmas: I’ve always believed that a serious relationship is one that you don’t throw away because things got tough. I’ve seen friends marriages go through much more difficult things that this couple did. I’ve also seen marriages fail because they really weren’t up to the challenge and one of them decided that…

As a 12-year veteran of search & rescue, my advice is stay on the friggin’ trail. Ignore those dumbass men’s magazines that encourage you to go off-piste. Even published trail guides get it wrong sometimes. A 4-day hike might in fact be a 6-day hike. Take more water than you think you need. Ask locals for advice about…

Why wouldn’t they be tracking an organization that threatens police officers?  If somebody is stalking you, you wouldn’t ignore it either.

Frodo’s.

Frodo’s.

Newsflash: until Tesla cam along, electric cars looked like ass. People in America like to feel like a badass in their vehicles. SUVs accomplish that goal.  The fact that most people will never (and should never) take their SUV off-road is irrelevant.

It all stems from elementary school athletics being a popularity contest and you weren’t popular unless you were good at sports. Nothing else counted.
The worst by far are the team sports where getting picked last leaves a visible mental scar for life.
It’s not that I don’t like sports but given the popularity aspect of…

Do these sound tracks include the morons riding their unmuffled Harley’s around as though everyone loves to hear that sound? How about the hyper-extended Latino families with their mariachi music playing on a boombox as though everyone wants to hear it? Or the diesel-powered busloads of Asian and German tourists who…

So, the real question is which costs more: heating your house or cooling it?

“Roads? Where we’re going we don’t need roads.”
Of course, “When this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you’re gonna see some serious sh*t.” works too.

Not nearly enough sci-fi in this list, particularly HG Wells and Jules Verne.
Lord of the Flies should be on every list because it shows what happens when SJWs try to run things.
Much of this stuff us just pure torture.  Handmaid’s Tale is just trendy and doesn’t belong on the list.

All I can say is that the finale better not be “it was all a dream” where we finally find out what Penny’s last name is.

James Cameron used an easy-to-understand term when talking about his film making after Titanic. He said, “I had my f*ck-you money.” What he means is that he had enough money to work on whatever made his ducky quack and had the financial wherewithal to tell anyone to go pound sand.  That’s the goal for me.

I’ve heard “Get out of stocks and into bonds” so many times that it’s become financial cliché. I’ve only known one person who successfully engineered a bond ladder and that person started with $10 million.
I have the same reaction to these endless ads plugging gold and silver. That stuff is only useful during a major…

There’s a decent video on youtube featuring Jackie Stewart.  With regards to engine braking he says basically don’t do that.  Brakes are a lot less expensive to replace than a transmission.

Yeah, right, because the people driving all those vehicles had nothing whatsoever to do with it.

People Twitter doesn’t like: “I saw you put that book down your trousers.”
Twitter: “No, I don’t have a book down my trousers.”
Classic confirmation bias right there. You believe that Twitter doesn’t shadow ban because that’s what you want to be true while simultaneously enjoying the prospect of people you don’t like…

I hate when people do this. It looks like the e-mail has an attachment but it’s really just unnecessary fluff and wasted bandwidth and makes it really difficult to find someone’s e-mail with an actual attachment.
