I drop popcorn on the floor of the movie theater because they have people they’ve hired to clean it up.

It is times like this that the USA USA! chant is most appropriate.

One time I drove a Ford Focus ST really hard. I decided—even though I consider myself a good driver—that it was too much for me and I was going to get in trouble. The Carrera GT is too much for nearly all mortals. If you get into one, you better not have any delusions or it will quickly notify you of your error.

There’s nothing in this world or the next that I want to do more than fly a Fighter Jet (Raptor, please) but I’ll never be allowed to. Curse you colorblindness; autocrossing can only scratch the itch so much

When calling 911, a few bits of information can go a long ways.

Great... as if the backcountry wasn’t already overfilled with fucking slednecks...

I was just there. You have to stop ahead with hazards on so that other cars have sufficient time to slow down.

I’ve heard of getting in touch with your roots, but this is ridiculous.

They’ve been showing reruns on either Antenna TV or Cozi TV, which I haven’t had a chance to check out, but yes, I’d never seen an episode of the show, and was only remotely aware of its existance, and I really enjoyed the movie.

Here’s why I think the origin stories are so popular:

I’m wondering how one of these gigantic dump trucks gets from the factory to the mine or construction site. I’m assuming “in pieces.” Assembling one of these bad boys would make an awesome timelapse...

If his license was not valid, the entities that allowed him to shoot the lion should be held accountable as well. You don’t just fly into Zimbabwe and shoot a lion. It takes a team of people to make it happen.

“Again, I deeply regret that my pursuit of an activity I love and practice responsibly and legally resulted in the taking of this lion.”

I’m not sure how much he revolutionized, but David Brin informed a lot about how I understand science-fiction, and Startide Rising is a great example of future-minded science fiction that has very little exposure. I count among my absolute favorites in the genre. I suppose I wish that the book had revolutionized more.

Robert Heinlein gets my vote. Stranger in a Strange Land is probably his most well known work, as even high school teachers who hate science-fiction have it on suggested reading lists, but he also has dozens of other classics: Starship Troopers, The Puppet Masters, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, Time Enough for Love,

If you have a computer controlled bike, you can simply get a program for it. I hooked the bike up to my laptop via the bikes version of an OBDII port and fed it the program. Now I hit the start button while going down the road and the bike holds speed, adjusts for hills and disengages when the brakes or clutch are

You have no idea what you are talking about. Do some research.

I just mapped the 1,000 mile route I’d like to do. Google Maps tells me it should take 16 hours to complete, leaving 8 hours for sleep, food and gas breaks. Pretty reasonable if you start off fresh from a good sleep. Don’t be so ignorant.

He pretty much stated that he basically went 70 mph and had a couple breaks and even a nap thrown in there.
