These Demons are really just street-legal dragsters. It’s like a water-to-ice intercooler, not sustainable at all. They offload all their inefficiencies and compromises into the time that they’re not racing.

They’re okay with being inefficient, unpleasant, or barely driveable off the dragstrip. Just so long as they can…

Yeah, that looked to me more like smashing a guitar at a concert.

Ha. Next you’ll claim they’ll have to leave him alone to watch hours of TV until he falls asleep, and then he’ll wake up in middle of the night and throw a noisy tantrum.

Joking aside, Russia needs ice breakers because of its critical cold-weather ports. And they don’t really need carriers because the areas where they want to project force are nearly contiguous with their own borders. (The old Soviet bloc and other neighbors.)

This one will make your heart hurt.

Why, when a blinker is burned out at front or rear, does the surviving light blink (and click) twice as fast?

What beer is this?

In before “not all cops.”

Friend had his van stolen. Cops could not find it. Nope, it hasn’t turned up, we can’t find this huge van.

I simply appreciate the existence of the V4 because it serves as a powerful shibboleth.

If someone tells me their car has a “V4" then either they are very ignorant (“My Civic comes with a V4") or very knowledgeable (“I swapped a Soviet V4 into my Civic, and now it hits 60 in nyet.”)

Torch, let’s put together a group buy and look for a discount on a housing development.

My most obscure car was an M1, too! In great condition, on the dirt lawn of a small house on a canal off a boulevard in NY.

So, parallel vectors?

You’re right! I completely forgot about the bulk of our atmosphere. That should fix much of it.

But I think the temperature will make a difference, it’s probably quite high. I should be working now but maybe later I’ll figure it out.

Disclaimer here - I cannot watch the video without comment from coworkers. And maybe I’m forgetting some chemistry here.

But how would the balloons accurately reflect air consumption?

This is why we wear seatbelts. Otherwise the driver could have been on the passenger side, hanging from the steering wheel and watching the ground rush to the window.

It has a lot more to do with avoiding the exchange in the first place.

There are some great books, most recently Command and Control, which look at the problems of avoiding nuclear war. Essentially it boils down to this: if I know that I can kill the other guy, even if he attacks me first, then I won’t kill the other…

That lowered ride looks like an amateur job. And an old body like that will be heavy and slow.

You can fix it. Just needs an LS swap and new suspension.

Yeah, sorry. Grief isn’t a magical ticket to instant sympathy. If someone is missing this putrid vomit on legs, they’re welcome to dive in after him.

Hi! I am American. Can someone also tell me why America thought it was a good idea to make a functionally illiterate man with severe personality disorders the President of the United States of America?
