Woah, woah, woah.  First you pick on one tech billionaire and his revolutionary cars, now you’re picking on another tech billionaire and his revolutionary rocketplanething?  What’s next, you’re going to tell us Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates aren’t veritable gods amongst men?

I’ve been watching Mythic Quest and there was an episode last night that involved a bunch of time skips but it started in 1992 and I was like, that’s not that long ago, and then I realized it was almost 30 years ago and died of old age.

I just watched Jennifer’s Body with my 14 year-old daughter & she said it was “very 2000s.” If you’re wondering what exactly the fuck that means, get in line.

When this thing hits 188, you’re gonna see some serious shit.

My ‘05 Magnum has a 160 MPH speedometer, and enough power to plausibly use it all. The one time I actually had the chance to test its top speed I remember letting out a whoop when the car upshifted into 5th and kept pulling like a champ... until it hit 135 and just stopped. Turns out it has an electronic limiter. …

I had a classmate in elementary school who thought a particular car with a digital speedo could do 188 mph.

It was the only car you could be sitting at a stoplight and going 128 at the same time.

Well, in fairness to the designers...

You don’t really need to be able to easily/quickly tell the difference between 5mph and 15mph. If you’re where that kind of speed is appropriate - for example a parking lot - then speed limits don’t really apply (despite whatever signage the business puts up) and what you really…

if it makes you feel better, it also ends in a 10 increment, so still symmetrical - all good.

I have the same problem with scoring in Tennis. Be consistent!

Ha... My 914 1.8 took the opposite tack — a speedo that reads to 150 with an engine that could never come close.

Shelby did something similar with the 1986 and 1987 Shelby GLHS models. The base cars (Omni/Charger) only had an 85 MPH speedo. Instead of creating a new speedo, they just added a little sticker at the bottom of the speedo that continued around to 135 mph.

This is great.

I wouldn’t say “never.” But it would take probably take a catastrophic reset in society or civilization and most of us here wouldn’t survive anyway.

That’s why you’ll never get another major religion, as soon as they gain any traction the pushback from society is too intense, since their fairy tales aren’t already ingrained into our culture. Mormonism got in just under the wire, and even they have a ton of resistance. From the 20th century on the best you can hope…

A religion is just a cult that outlasted the other cults. 

Well.... conventional catholicism is a cult if ever there was one. Top dude (Mr. Pope) is appointed by god to lead the masses. Most of the popes over the century were as far from saintly as you can get. I know I don’t even have to go there with the issues with priests. You know, the guys who are told by god and the…

Except Hitchens wasn’t directly responsible for a lot of entirely preventable death and misery.

If you’re looking at someone’s shower wish list/registry, buy the practical stuff rather than the clothes. Everyone’s going to buy clothes, particularly adorable clothes that aren’t that functional, especially if they’re having a girl.
