I’m very much looking forward to the official analysis. My first thought were the bolts as well, but as you say they seem intact. Then he oxidized pillars, but that lead to my initial question. Perhaps the FSM reached out with a noodly appendage and with less effort than it takes us to breath, performed a miracle on…

But no cathodic protection of any sort?  I’d be shot.

Wind shear will be significant, but I’d be looking at the stamped Engineering drawings regarding the two pillars:

So if you work in an industry where tipping is the norm, your base annual wage (assuming 40 hours of work per week, 2080 hours per year) is less than 1/2 of the Mexican national average wage (~$15k USD / year)? I think the category you’re looking for is “slave labour” or “indentured servitude”.

I’ll take “Drum Triggers” for $1000, Alex.

That is absolute garbage.  Seriously: someone please provide one redeeming quality of that whole spectacle?

Amazon’s search system has a major issue: before you can sort your search results (say, by price), a specific category needs to be chosen. This is problematic when you’re looking for something that could span multiple categories. Headphones, for example: are they audio, electronics, phone accessories or something else…

Ummm .. “Lock Her (father) Up...?”

“Creep”?  Amateur.  And don’t get me started on the acid-washed jeans.  The 1980s were not a good time.

These portable speakers are all fine and good until some shitfuck decides that the entire public park needs to hear his mashup of Justin Timberlake and Slayer. The most egregious offenders seem to be constantly hiking up and down AZ’s Camelback mountain. Want to listen to music with others around? Use your fucking…

It baffles me that your nation doesn’t require employers to give (paid) time off to employees to vote! Up here an employer is required to permit all employees three paid hours on election day to go and vote.

Why would you kiss them before sending them on their way?

Dammit, I want to agree with you but I’m afraid our world views will never be aligned.

Ummm... “Firearm” literally means a device that expels a projectile via gas expansion due to ignition of combustible material. Unless these maniacal hordes that li’l trump is threatened by are farting stones at border guards while Steve-O holds a BBQ lighter near their rectums, “firearm” doesn’t apply.

Why? In the grand scheme of things you (and I, and everyone who happens to read this article) don’t matter. Each of us is one of 7.6 billion humans, packed onto a smaller-than-average planet orbiting around a nondescript yellow star on a fairly unpopulated trailing arm of a very average spiral galaxy.

If it were a L98 car (yes, with the auto) I could see it being worth a larger fraction than the asking price — the performance differences between the 305 and the 350 were far greater than the specs would indicate. It still ain’t $31k but it might be closer than this 305 car is.

“Does is model run on poor people?”

Ummm ... You’re a loser so you’ll take it out on somebody who hasn’t wasted their life? “Make them pay” physically and emotionally? No wonder decent people detest millennials.

With Fava beans.

Seriously, she spoke out against a pedo being arrested after burglars reported him to police. Fuck her, and fuck any pedo-enabling shitcocks that support her.
