Replacing the save battery is actually pretty simple if you know how to solder.

It’s not a PS4, so at least you won’t see roaches in there.

Well, truthfully, there are very few U-Boats wandering the North Atlantic these days.

Its like traveling to exotic locales but you learn and experience nothing.

If you think cruise ships offer the best food you’ll ever eat, I’m going to go ahead and not listen to any recommendations from you.

Not a wrap. The Avio editions were all painted in non-glossy paint. And above all, fuck anyone for screwing with someone elses car.

Someone keyed my Model S. One long scratch from the front all the way to the back.

Tires are usually cheaper, and easier to get fixed, and probably close to needing to be replaced.

I don’t know what you have on your car, or what paint color or wheel choice you made, but I doubt you’d appreciate it if a random assclown decided it was “played out” and you deserved to have your car damaged.

Tires are cheaper than paint...

That traffic light the truck blew through turns red and the overheight sign comes on when a vehicle too high is detected. That system was installed last year just for incidents like this, yet people still hit it. I think one of those water curtain stop signs like they have in front of some tunnel entrances in…

I’d maybe go w/ the horrendous social damage of his War on Drugs as his greatest sin against society, but as long as we can both agree he’s bad, then I’m OK.

My favorite story about Young is his heart rate. All astronauts except young had really high heat rates during launch - I mean like 150's or so. His plugged along at 70. During the lunar decent Neil Armstrong’s was in the 190's. Young’s was around 90. The epitome of cool under stress.

I’ve been a nut about space travel and history since I saw Apollo 13. And John Young was my favorite astronaut. The guy did everything: First to fly Gemini and the Space Shuttle. Went to the moon twice, and walked on it once. An absolute legend.

That is true.

John Young-who would be the first person to fly the shuttle and was an advocate for the program-received word while on the lunar surface during Apollo 16 that Congress had approved the funds for the shuttle program.

Wasn’t the shuttle program basically done by the time he got into office. It was greenlit by Nixon, the first launch was in 81, i believe.

Archived story from UPI, from 1981, which, although inaccurate in hindsight, gives you some idea of the Reagan’s administration attitude towards NASA.

Remember when we had real heroes like Mr. Young? That’s what fucking Reagan killed when he turned the space program into a goddamned orbital program. I hate that POS for so many reasons, but the largest might be that he killed our imagination and sense of wonder in regard to space

Make for some wicked good street ice hockey, though.

Depending on how deep the powder is, the skis might only penetrate a few inches, while landing with your boots would penetrate up to a yard. So the decceleration would be more spread out.
