Based on what is happening in my old hometown, Raccoons will be infesting the ISS someday soon. (This is the logo of the minor league baseball team in Madison Alabama. This was the result of an online poll and the owners had the courage to not rename the team the Attenboroughs).
“Hi, we’re calling about your expired submarine bilge pump. Do you have a moment?” is a scam call I’d take.
San Diego Craigslist:
How does this article not lead with the raccoon infestation of the Russian submarine?
I thought this too for a second but it’s less interesting than what you’re thinking.
In Soviet Russia, bilge pumps you!
“In 2016 the sub’s owners at the time, Newco Pty Ltd. filed a lawsuit against the operator of the Queen Mary, Save The Queen LLC, and the now bankrupt leaseholder Urban Commons of neglecting maintenance on the sub. $10 million in damages was sought with an inspection finding rust damage and even a raccoon infestation.…
This is why the right to repair is so important, also check the warranty. (and the small print).
Man, I rail against this “threaded fasteners=bad” mentality. The plastic clip that doesn’t snap after 8 years of driving is rare in my experience. “People aren’t going to service this” feels like a very, very OEM perspective. Totally believe his reasoning on not liking threaded fasteners, but they sure feel worth it…
Most internet technology moves forwards through time and gains new features. Kinja is like the Benjamin Button of IT. Threaded commenting & notifications get less and less usable every week. Hyperlinks broke a couple of months ago; most other internet tech gained the ability to use hyperlinks in the 1990s. Eventually…
Well, you see, a guy who was self taught made it to space and let a bag of M&Ms float around. Obviously a huge problem all around.
Second gear: That’s not a vote of no confidence, that’s a vote of asset diversification and cashing in big time.
For all we know, the guy left because realized “to hell with it, I’m worth hundreds of millions of dollars, my boss is a tool, and don’t need to work for him to live like a king forever”
which is exactly the…
Divorce is much more expensive than a used German car. It's probably best that you forget you ever saw this ad.
I’ve joked in the past that the “E” in the future NE Miata will stand for electrification. And if they get 10 years out of the ND like they did out of the NC that would put the NE coming out in 2026.....
No vest, no mask, no problem. It is Texas.
One of my favorite Pratchett insights.
They shouldn’t have been chasing waterfalls.
That was dam close.
Times like this really stress how right the Samuel Vimes Theory of Economical Inequality really is. Of you were in a position to purchase a quality automobile 18 months ago you’re so far ahead of the disadvantaged that are in the cycle of only being able to afford a $1500-2000 car every year or so. Especially since…
