I forgot: VW hippie buses go for prices as high as some of their previous owners.  If only I had that much money.  Or that much weed.

30 psi on an aluminum bottom does not foretell  a long life.

A 2.0T with 9 trillion pounds of boost is going to be more reliable than a relatively lightly stressed big-ass V10? Yeah, right.

“Teach a man to build a fire and he’s warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he’s warm for the rest of his life.”

And suddenly thousands of IT technicians cried out in horror...

No they cannot. On the surface, the ability to render an aircraft unflyable via an OTA update is terrifying. Imagine that happening on accident or on purpose at 500 mph and 36,000 feet.

But they can and have been cutoff from any access to maintenance records and updated maintenance manuals which is what effectively…

every day is a new “normal” these days. 

Blah, blah, blah. The planes need incredible maintenance. They need parts. No access to parts means existing planes will be cannibalized so fewer and fewer maintained planes can keep flying. Within three years, I bet none of those planes will be capable of safely flying—which means for the next 10 years, Russian passen…

Russia does not gain (in any way, except for getting to fly stolen planes for a few months) but the lessors most definitely lose. It is the equivalent of a meth head stealing your catalytic converter and selling it for $45.

To use real yachts would be prohibitively expensive and just silly.

If those rebels can strike the oil terminal, what is stopping them from striking the circuit. Imagine if they hit the pit and paddock buildings in the middle of the night and destroyed some of the cars.

“We’ve been trying to reach you about your car’s extended warranty.”

Are you and your company deeply tied to the leader of a regime who is invading a foreign country? Is your company the result of massive graft and you were able to purchase a state owned company for pennies on the dollar? Is your wealth tied to corruption and being best buds with a maniac with delusions of recreating…

Brush hair???? I thought that was a pube!

Gotta have something to munch on while you’re building it.

The ‘citizen’s arrest’ defense was reverse-engineered, so to speak, after they learned they weren’t going to get away w/ executing a man for being guilty of Blackness & presumed guilty for theft. Their intent wasn’t to arrest Mr Arbery, it was to wound or kill him b/c of his race due to their being bigots who don’t…

Citizen arrest without a crime actively being committed looks a lot like kidnapping.

How does one “mandate freedom”? Are they not aware that it’s a bit of an oxymoron?

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!!! That would be completely different because....reasons.

S0000, people from DC *could* arrest those truckers under citizen arrest rules?
