I could afford it, and was intrigued (yeah, the F&F made me aware of the Mk IV, sue me - I was in college then), and I’d even go gaga over a manual/4cyl version, but I’m not interested in a sports car with an auto, even the excellent ZF8. I’ve got an M550; I know how good that transmission is (and especially in a…

I’m with you. G body Camino’s just weren’t that appealing. I guess it was just the utter lack of care put into the design. It’s almost as if the muse for the designer was ‘rectangle’. 

Dude, on behalf of guys that don’t do this shit, fuck you.

It’s also possible that the aircraft carrier is going in the wrong direction, like when we were told during Trump’s faux tirade with NK that a naval armada was headed there and then we found out the armada was headed in the wrong direction, AWAY from NK. Who knows what to believe when something is said about this…

There is no endgame.

“Trump is throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks”

Overall, a good summary, Sophie.

Trump 2020: Always Be Grifting

Yet another Iran article without mentioning Israel a single time. Amazing! I’m not even being sarcastic, I’m genuinely impressed Splinter is continually able to do this with a straight face. This *entire* escalation is (and has been) at the hands of Israel. Iran poses literally zero threat to the United States and…

Still, this is very creepy indeed. You know that if Trump gets any further behind in the polls for 2020, or anyone actually seems to be able to impeach him, he’ll Wag the Dog so fast its tail will create sonic booms.

Trump has the body of a Godfather but the mind and soul of a Fredo.

Gimme a ‘C!’...

Back in the early days of flight, the co-pilot was extra muscle to handle the heavy controls. Mechanical and electric assist have removed that need, but there’s still simply lots to do in the cockpit. Navigation, coordination with ATC, monitoring systems, having a second person there to share the workload reduces the…

The fact that anyone survived on a plane that was on fire during flight and managed to land is a testament to how safe planes are today. That being said, I’m terrified to fly, so these visuals definitely didn’t help. 

In Russia, fire catches on plane.

Stomps. I like that.

I usually use Foot Lubs. 

Yeah, but Russians, man. Have you ever watched the YouTubes of Russian traffic accidents? Let’s just say the national attitude toward catastrophe is a little blasé.

Won’t be late for 9 AM meeting tomorrow tho

Carrying your luggage out during an emergency evacuation of a burning plane: Seriously uncool.
