Because Alpine. For rally fans that name still carries lots of weight. Even if it’s tied to really ugly car.

I remember back in 2007 when there was a school shooting over here and I found out I had read and laughed at insanely stupid misanthropic pro-eugenics posts the shooter had made on a gaming forum. The asshole killed eight people, and himself. He didn’t mention any plans like this guy, but still..

Felix was my first thought too. If they could squeeze a cameo of Jack Wade from Brosnan movies somewhere in there as well.. Who other memorable CIA guys have been in Bond movies? Michael Madsen was in Die Another Day, but I didn’t care for him. Or for Jinx, even though they planned to give her a spin-off back then.

Whenever I hear Radiohead’s Creep I have to listen the Arrogant Sons of Bitches cover. Shitty youtube quality only makes it funnier.

Still, did it make sense to cut production short just because it was considered overpowered? You could have full fleet of the things for portion of what F-35 cost.

This raises an interesting and creepy question, what about pheromones? You would think they play important part when it comes to smelling “people”, but where do they draw the line?

Just this morning a woman in her late 20's sat next to me on bus, sharply dressed, cute glasses, stank like rotten bananas, fake vanilla and a hint of toffee. She had enough of the stuff on her to make my eyes water.

It’s really clever deconstruction of all kinds of scifi and other genre tropes smashed together with more sophisticated literary and philosophic references. And it has real heart. And I don’t mean the heart Werner Herzog wanted to replace with Jerry’s dick.

We got few of them in Finland too, but too few know what they mean. They got one by the university because it clogs up quite often because it’s too close to the “liikennesekoittaja”, the greatest practical joke we’ve ever played on people who don’t live here.

You’re not supposed to, but it can be hard not to end up like that once in a while. Last I ended up like that there was plenty of room when I entered the intersection, but then a bus left a stop and my lane stopped to give it room, as they should. Though it was a one way t-intersection and there was no room for those…

It does make sense as a joke about the super oppressive looking station, but also just because Japanese are pretty strict when it comes to train schedules.

Wet asphalt and they were driving on bare metal tracks (at least in Finland most tanks have rubber pads for parades and shit so they don’t ruin roads), once the left side got loose and the tank spun they lost all control. It’s not like you can turn the wheels into the slide with tanks.

Yeah, he only shoots at him. I really loved the music.

Of course not, even as a young finnish kid I felt bad for him -99 when he had his big crash hurt his leg. And to survive that kind of career and then having a skiing accident like that was just awful. But that doesn’t change that he really used to be quite an asshole.

Schumi did want to fight Coulthard after crashing into him, he seriously had issues with his temper back then. Later on he mellowed out a bit.

They’ve gone more and more towards large luxury coupes as larger and larger proportion of their customers have become rich and young (or young at heart) arabs who like driving such ostentatious vehicles. I feel like the old money types who used to buy Rollses to enjoy their Grey Poupon in are these days more…

Holy fucking shit that ended up being the most fantastic bit of racing after Lewis and Seb got sent to the back. Amazing job from Stroll, but I was just so happy when Valtteri passed him right on the checkered flag after Lewis had whined that he should come slow Seb down. And Ricciardo’s smile is just so infectious,…

Expanse is really great, superb mix of politics, more down to earth scifi, great action and some pretty creepy mysterious alien goo. And space mormons.

Hubris. Russian air force and anti-air aren’t a joke.

That was funny, but I wouldn’t put too much weight on that. Even Mi-24 had engine troubles in the beginning.
