I don’t ride scooters any more, but I used to be big into 2 stroke Vespas & Lambrettas. I commute on my bike & don’t really have the time/money for multiples. I’ve been riding for 20 years & I’ve always said that the most fun I ever had on 2 wheels was when I was a scooter boy. They are absolutely stupid fun…

Years ago, when upgrading from my wife’s falling apart but still running 1980 Volvo 240 sedan, I was looking REALLY hard for one of these on the used market. I didn’t actually know anything about them except that they looked like the perfect car for a young urban couple. Maybe not incredibly exciting, but not too…

DPRK is the only country with a travel ban currently? I can’t zoom in the map, form the pic above, it looks like the only dark gray country.

I saw it posted on either FB or Reddit yesterday. I couldn’t make it all the way through. But I’ll FF just to see this.

The lede pic kinda looks like when Ash dissected the facehugger in Alien. Truly, truly unappetizing. Thank you & good night.

Well, SeatGuru might be able to tell you whether you have an outlet or not. But the outlet actually working is a whole ‘nother thing.

I dunno about that. Anjelica Huston basically walked in on Roman Polanksi with Samantha Geimer. I don’t know what else she’s been involved in lately aside from Transparent, but it seems like her career/legacy has yet to take a real hit.

Oh man, memories. There’s a reason that Black Flag tour book is called Get In The Van.

Strangely, several months ago, I was eating at a ramen place & I saw an Asian dude wearing a Proud Boys t-shirt. I was thinking it must have been some weird coincidence & it wasn’t _those_ Proud Boys. This was San Francisco after all. No Proud Boy would actually go out in public declaring that, would they? He gave me…

One space.

What I don’t get is why people keep doing this shit after the highly public instances of “autopilot” crashes. You don’t have to search out niche tech or auto news sites to hear about them. You’d think Tesla driver’s would specifically be attuned to those stories.

This is why I hate bars that present you with checks. I try not to use cards at bars (it’s just a personal thing). You order a drink, you pay, you tip. $1 per drink generally. Maybe more if it’s something fancy that requires mixing, maybe slightly less if you’re ordering a few beers at a time. My bartender friends…

I forgot how “horror movie” the Tangerine Dream score was. The incidental music from the clip above wouldn’t be so out of place in The Exorcist.

Is it me, or are the rear pegs just way too big? Doesn’t seem like they need to be that beefy.

Totally. Either the WR with a bigger jug, or give the DRZ fuel injection. Pretty sure, the latter will never happen even thought that’s basically what they did for the SV650.

I don’t know how Kickstarter handles the money end of these things once the funding goal is reached. But if you paid with a credit card less than 120 days ago (I think), you should be able to file a chargeback for “services not rendered.” It should be pretty easy to do if the financial institution is any good (if they…

I used to love this movie. There’s no way anything like this could be made with a straight face any more. Objectively, I’d say that this movie is ridiculous, and not good. Still, upon re-watching it a couple years ago, introducing it to a friend of mine who would have been too young have caught it the first time…

This just makes me kind of sad.

It’s scary how fast these guys turned up & started to seem normal. It’s monetized littering as far as I’m concerned. It’s pretty bad in Oakland seeing them just thrown around when the asshat riders are done with them. It’s gotta be way worse in SF.

I was in Bali ~10 years ago. I’ve been hearing that lately, even outside the high end resort / tourist areas (Kuta, Seminyak, etc), the plastic pollution in the water is getting out of hand. I hear it’s not what it used to be at all.
