No, it was a noose.

“just happened to be a slip knot … with a bunch of extra intentional but unnecessary loops in it”

No I don’t.

Ah yes, nothing better for a garage pull than a type of knot that closes onto your hand as you pull on it. Someone deliberately tied a noose, not to intimidate Wallace as we have now learned, but someone still did that for reasons that have nothing to do with ergonomics. Edgelords gonna edgelord I guess.

It very well may have just been a misunderstanding, but it certainly wasn’t a “hoax.” Nobody planted a noose and feigned outrage. And you have to admit that NASCAR hasn’t exactly been a welcoming place for black drivers over the years. It wasn’t that long ago that black drivers like Willy T. Ribbs got death threats…

The FBI called it a noose in their statement: https://www.justice.gov/usao-ndal/pr/joint-statement-us-attorney-jay-e-town-and-fbi-special-agent-charge-johnnie-sharp-jr

This quote from 2cv8 is worth looking at:

The only thing I care about is who buys the thing and why they will neither go to an optometrist nor learn their new vehicle’s stopping distance and turning radius. I like not dying and Grandpa’s Penis Extender isn’t making that any easier.

If they would just stop testing, their case load would go way down!

This report goes far, but not far enough. Let us consider a sovereign state of F-150.

You don’t just have nooses hanging all over your house for various things? Fan pulls, light switches, attic door pulls, TV remotes. They’re just really handy to keep around. Far more handy than the easier-to-tie bowline, so it justifies the additional effort and thought that goes into tying a noose.

Turns out it was just one of those innocuous nooses that you’d see in a library or daycare. Nothing amiss here.

Perfect take. It’s not an Allante, much less a 560SL, but it’s a competent little car that will get you there in style and keep doing so for years to come. $2500 is not just NP for one in this condition, but bordering on highway robbery.

That 3800 isn’t powerful by today’s standards, true, but the 3800 is decently torquey. I believe that’s a pre-series 1 unit that has just north of 210 ft-lbs of torque and somewhere north of 160 HP (I don’t remember exactly, but it was pretty great for the day). The 3800 is a great engine in just about any of its…

That transmission was cranked out in about the last 45 minutes they were even building them. That specific model was discontinued in the next model year, after having been installed for about five or six years. By the time this one was made, its little hassles had been pretty much sorted. Bolted behind the stout but…

“CRTs don’t get soap opera effect,”

obviously your cats don’t cat hard enough.

Also, have you ever tried anchoring a body to the bottom of the Detroit River with an LCD? Don’t even bother.

The cat can’t sleep on top of a flatscreen?

Thing is even with all those screens you still get to keep a lot more desk space than even one old CRT.
