It’s really a huge amount of nothing, a desperate attempt to divert attention from his impeachment. I suppose we should be thankful he’s not resorting to Clinton’s approach of looking for things to bomb.

I suspect like any large industrial product, there probably are some unpleasant byproducts created in their construction. I don’t know how it compares with the construction of any other power, but I suspect their more than offset by the lack of emissions while it’s operating.

Yes, billionaires in wine caves should have just as much right to decide who is president as waitresses or plumbers.  The problem is that they currently far more right to decide who is president.

Not in the least.  I think the C4 is one of the best looking Corvettes.  The C5 is too much like a bar of soap.

If this stuff is wrong, then I don’t want to be right.

Yep, those very people.

I’m getting flashbacks to the first time I saw the penultimate episode of The Prisoner and thought, “At last, this is all going to make sense...”

Because giving it to smart people makes people sad and inadequate. Also because they have spent their lives acquiring knowledge instead of social skills, they have this annoying habit of telling people things that they don’t want to hear.

A classic case of the cure being worse than the disease.

I get excited about this stuff because it’s the cutting edge of automotive technology, and it doesn’t stay the exclusive province of ultra expensive toys. One of the neatest things about the Corvette is that not that long ago, anything with its specs would have been an outrageously priced supercar. For that matter,…

Love it, but I can’t be the only one who saw that pic and thought

Mostly mocking the more hard core tree huggers, but CFLs do ha a little bit of mercury in them. It’s far less than what you’d get in a thermometer, and their long life and lower energy use still puts them ahead of incandescent bulbs.

The first one I remember was a Mafia black 1955 Cadillac Coupe de Ville, and that was pretty cool

Nobody’s mentioned this one yet?

And the people making out like these bulbs are some kind of sacrifice? Come on, a bulb that goes years between changes and slashes your electric bill is hardly a sacrifice.. I have CFLs right now (I know, I am a monster), but I have a package of LED bulbs for when they finally expire. Their main drawback seems to be…

Honestly? I’d really like to see Bond done as a ‘60s period piece.

Really, Dune needs the Game of Thrones treatment, but I am really looking forward to seeing what Denis Villeneuve does with it.

Clearly, they’re not trying hard enough. Maybe offer something like a grocery bag full of rust flakes for a million dollars, and see who still votes NP?

The 1948 Mustang (not a typo)

It’s great that people are doing something, but it’s also pretty obvious that you can’t just sit back and assume everyone gets it. Lots of otherwise intelligent people assured themselves that no sane person would vote for Trump, and yet, here we are.
