You should build one. I got lucky and had a sprints/midgets connection that could make my frame, and the rest is pretty straightforward. But if you can measure and weld even the frame isn’t that hard. Then you can “one piece at a time” the rest. There’s also a way to start with a stripped down Miata.

I’m actually trying to flip my Franken7 into an Ariel Atom, but I got the vid which kinda derailed me for a bit.

It is not the internet, because we had the internet for a couple of decades before this took over, and while there were self interest groups on usenets and webrings, and forums et al, they never became this self adsorbed and relentless. This is something new, this fervor, and I don’t know what it is. 

Tesla is just a benefactor of what has, unfortunately, become now commonplace: a strong idolization and worship of culture icons that waivers on becoming a person’s whole identity. See also: our departing president, “mommy bloggers”, stance bros, ad infinitim.

“Seriously, dude?” Ally asked after watching Brad eat buttered noodles off a paper plate for the fourth night in a row. She’s slowly expanded his culinary horizons since then, helping him realize the foods he “didn’t like” were based on opinions he’d formed as a 7-year-old. “Just try it,” became her mantra, and more…

the most shocking thing about this is that the names of the accused elected co-conspirators haven’t leaked yet. Lawmakers are really keeping their mouths shut, it seems, but my curiosity is burning.

I can’t remember if this was posted on here or not, but the YouTube channel Project Farm does a nifty video. Is it perfect? No. But it does a pretty darn good job considering simulating years of salt and grime in a laboratory is difficult.

America has been practicing disaster capitalism for long it drank its own koolaid.

I still hold the Whopper up as the MVP of the burger.  (Minimum Viable Product, I should clarify).  If a burger is not as good as a Whopper, I don’t need to bother with it.  Controversially, I count 5 Guys as sub-Whopper.  McDonald’s?  Hell no.  Culver’s, maybe...

About 5 years ago I set up an emergency power system in my house after a 3 day power outage. Just something to power the fridge, sump pump and furnace. Haven’t had an outage of more than five minutes since.

I’m glad that they do. I much prefer swapping some rechargeable batteries than having to dock and charge a controller.

I’d honestly just love to hear how Firestone would actually respond to this.

As for the purpose of “voting”, I will add my actual nomination upfront: the Herman Miller Aeron. But please, read the whole comment.

Teal. Wrap it in teal to keep that 90's feeling.

I’m very confused why you think this would ruin a baking sheet?

LOL fair. But you can also purchase for someone who likes Panera as a gift.
