I don’t have to worry about that, because I’ve declared myself a “sovereign citizen” and as a sovereign citizen, I’ve banned 5G within my 5 miles of the borders of my jurisdiction i.e. me, so those 5G waves can no longer penetrate my body. No 5G cancer-causing brainwashing demon-summoning ghost alien Illuminati moon…

I could pay a huge chunk of money for the manufacture, installation, maintenance, and probably necessary bribes to install a flamethrower onto my car, which could save my life in the hypothetical scenario that a hijacker, axe murderer, Mad Max-style road gang, or hungry dinosaur has cornered me in my vehicle.

Based on the article, it doesn’t look like he’s being sued directly for the incident. He’s being sued for failure to pay overtime to employees, going back three years. But they identify the incident as the reason why they chose to investigate him, and go into detail about that incident in the suit - so apparently it…

Nope. The pennies were dumped in a big pile on the guy’s driveway, along with a note saying “fuck you.” The coins were also covered in some sort of oil.

Went to a Mazda dealership last month. The dealer said that the inventory that they currently had on the lot was it for the rest of the year - new deliveries aren’t scheduled until at least March 2022. The plan beyond November was to rely on selling trade-ins to tide them over until then. Her words were to the effect…

My stupid car decided it wanted to destroy the engine a month ago - thrusting me suddenly and unwillingly into this terrible, terrible market. After a couple weeks of goggling at the insane prices, I came to this same conclusion and decided to get a car that I could drive for a few years.

Seat belt laws are an imperfect analogy to Covid-19 mandates. Vaccine and mask mandates are more like the laws that say you have to stop at a red light. Because ignoring that law really could end up both hurting you and someone else.

4th Gear: It occurs to me that a robot guard dog can’t really do much that a regular flesh-and-blood guard dog can do - except the flesh-and-blood guard dog would be much cheaper and require less maintenance. (also it’s fuzzy-wuzzy and furry-woory and awwwww-so-kewt)

Ding-ding! That’s how you make chocolate popcorn. Popcorn pops at 350 degree F - chocolate begins to burn long before that. You cannot do both in the same bowl - you pop the popcorn and then toss it with melted chocolate or cocoa powder.

Ah, so you’re saying they’re communists.

Feels a little ... Sunset Overdrive? Do people remember that game?

The Vision of Escaflowne. One of the best fantasy epics, full stop - not just in anime.

Some calculations

I contend that if some idiot hauls a 50 lb bag of rice onto the driver’s seat just to defeat his autopilot at highway speeds, then the bag of rice is the smarter of the pair.

I feel like the forces required would vaporize the bullet as well - and possibly a chunk of the Earth around it.

I had a Chihuahua that was a master at killing bees.

Hmm. Thought experiment: What’s the most suspicious-looking but perfectly legal assortment of items you can pack into your carry-on?

Apparently the guy used to work at Famous Dave’s. That’s not a joke.

“Dang, Valtteri took out everyone?!?”
