I hate to be “that guy,” but I’m truly surprised nobody has mentioned the breakdown idea of Panem from The Hunger Games. Geographical districts set up based on the goods they provide to the overall continent.

You may be confusing can’t do and shouldn’t do. Nobody’s saying you can’t tow with a sports car, but should you do it?

It realistically should be called a spiritual successor or sidequel.

I remember reading a similar article a few years ago, and one of the survivors who relied on the iron lung mentioned that they had been eager to try some of the newer alternatives, as it would be cheaper to repair and maintain (insurance!). In the end, they said they had to switch back to the iron lung, because the…

Rock Solid on DIY was one of my favorite shows to watch when I was a stay at home dad. Great “how to” info from start to finish on a project.

I think it’s a big step in growing up when you forgive (not excuse) yourself for not being perfect. Only when you do this can you actually work on your own faults, rather than just feeling sorry for yourself about them.

They actually aren’t allowed to do this anymore because “residents” of that part of the city complained about the smell. If I recall correctly, now they store it, and once a week/month, they drop the blood tank into a bunch of tanker trucks and ship it out to be dealt with elsewhere.

As a fellow member of the StarTek elite, I feel your pain. That and my dad used to work on the kill floor at the packing plant...

Or, you know, maybe don’t overbook your flight by 20% when you know you have stand by employees you may need to shuttle.

I’ve been in love with Mini’s for as long as I can remember, a Monte Carlo rally edition is one of my dream cars. I almost (regrettably didn’t) bought one when I turned 16, and have been pining for them since, so saying what I’m about to feels dirty and wrong, but it needs to be said...

Was it The Church? It sounds like it might have been The Church...

Exactly this. Talib took a play from The Richard Sherman book, and got in Crabtree’s head. After that he was done for.

Of course, this all happened in Alameda county, which has murders and giant fires to deal with, but maybe someone in the DA’s office is a raider’s fan (or hates Talib) and would go forth.

As long as his knowledge involves telling the kids to get their juice from someplace other than Balco, we might be ok.

I would offer to assist, but I’ve already got my own ‘72 Midget project that I’m in the middle of right now...

The simple principle of what Bugatti is and stands for (and has since before the VW acquisition) is at the core of what the Veyron was, and what the Chrion is. Expensive-as-fuck show pieces for the world’s “elite” few. Sure the fuck it, let’s throw everything in attitude has resulted in very powerful, very fast cars,…

Yea, except with that one, speed was the ultimate goal, not garish looks and a high price point.

Call me dumb, but I don’t see him shove anyone. It appears as though he has his hand on his wife (who appears to be screaming at someone), after she moves, he seems to keep his arm out to keep space between his wife and another woman. The woman them tries to push forward toward his wife, and he simply tries to keep…

Am I the only one who’s still surprised at the stupid amount of wealth UAE has to throw for stuff like this?

I don’t even think you’d need to cut it off. Similar to an actual fighter jet, you could easily install a small CO2 piston ejection system that could “release” the canopy enough that the driver could push it off to get out.
