Short wheelbase with a 12V 5.9L Cummins diesel.... Hops like a bunny off-road.

Appropos of “real” trucks, etc., I’ve owned three Ram/Cummins trucks (2 5.9L’s and 1 6.7L) and I’ve driven three Titan XD’s for a total of 4600 miles. I’m disappointed in the Titan XD. It doesn’t have substantially more grunt on the low-end — empty, loaded or trailering — than the gas V8. That “world of difference”…

Never apologize for going against the herd. Alien 3 created a dense, claustophobic milieu that even the original movie couldn’t rival. And the performances, particularly by Dutton, Dance, and the cons were spot-on. Other than that, didn’t like it; not an apology, a statement of fact.

There was a time when enough writers and editors were familiar with science in general and the scientific method in particular — and hyped drivel like this wouldn’t have been passed through. No more. Of course global climate disruption is real. Of course you cannot definitively state that any of what you’ve cited is a…

From the rotation and kick-back of the prop, it looked like he was cutting his engine in and out in the “final approach.” True?

Is the author of this review trying to mimic the confusion of many of the characters in this cable series? Because this piece has the clarity and grammatical style of an Evil Corps bank statement after “the Fall”.

My first vehicle was a ‘67 Scout 800 with the 196 cid four cylinder engine. It was a slant four because it was literally half-a-V8, complete with terminals on the distributor cap, half of which were, well, fake. Drove it across country eleven times to college, drove to Alaska and back once, to Mexico City and back…

Give it a fucking rest, Pegg. Until straights can play gays and gays can play straights without all the drama, we’ve still gotten no further than the splash page. Which was Takei’s (oft-missed) point. I’m fine with Sulu being straight and Takei being gay. Or vice-versa. Most of us “beyond-the-Gawker-pale” are.

I’m sorry, but all of those “darkest secret” stories you promised, and these are the three you pull out of the pile...? The first is a script for a Japanese film made in 1988. And a French remake in 1994. The second has been done so many times it’s not worth counting, except to say that the political career of a…

Correct; thanks for pointing this out. When I saw the article heading, I thought I’d have to go back and look for “gyroscopes” on the Ironborn fleet, or mounted on the cockpit instrument cluster of the DT’s favorite flying reptile.

I appreciated the art and the heavy milieu. The message... not so much. The theme of losing “humanity” and “connection to nature” through “self-machination” is old to the point of being an overused archetype. When you’re 70, and you’ve seen too much and your body is starting to fall apart despite every natural thing…

So you drove a cheap Miata off-pavement. More loyalty to the principle if you’d driven a McLaren or a high-end Porsche.

That said, I regularly drive an ‘07 Miata NC on gravel, dirt and jeep trails, as I live 26 miles off the pavement myself. It’s a fine pick for such things, small and very forgiving. Tire of choice?…

One thing that’s surprised me is how little attention Arya’s episode 8 question about “what’s west of Westeros?” and “I’d like to go there” has gotten. Assuming the world is, well, spherical, what’s west of Westeros is, among other things, Asshai — original home of the Red religionists who have aligned themselves with…
