100% Pure, undiluted 93 is what my WRX drinks on the daily.

The number of problems solved by high velocity bundles of mass, incendiary materials and explosives is truly amazing.

It is pretty effective against softer targets in CAS missions. Whether the F-15 is used in CAS, I don’t know, but my Harrier carries 300 rounds and manages to fuck some shit up.

Wait a sec here... there’s another breed of ordie? One that shuns the normal IYAOYAS cult chant/brainwashing? Y’all just gotta be special little snowflakes.

I’ve seen people commenting call AvE “Chris.” I believe that’s an artifact from his old “Arduino versus Evil” blog, which is also the source of his channel name.

Indeed they did find a problem! The problem is that the rocket seems to be spread over a few dozen square kilometers.

I’m not so certain. The trees are a pretty good indicator of vertical... I would say that the ramp is at nearly the same angle (in the opposite direction) as the road.

Looks to me like a flatbed trailer hauling something quite dense. Hard to tell from the image, but it brings to mind a trailer of pre-formed concrete blocks of some sort.

Judging from the marks up the right side of the ramp the driver took it at speed, held it straight enough to get it to a stop. Probably jackknifed as gravity began pulling it back down hill.

Holy SHIT they got some distance on that one!

And poof goes an afternoon’s work.

I’ve never understood the look of fear that others show when I mention buying or selling something on Craigslist. They seem to think that CL is some warren of desperation and agony that only brave, or stupid, people enter, and since I have walked repeatedly into the pit and returned unscathed, well, I must be some…

It was worth it, just to learn some slight of hand.

For someone surviving in a world that has moved on... Roland looks like he just stepped out of a Wild West Fashion zine. I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt, I would expect him to be dirty, beaten, battered and worn.

That arm is giving me a very strong Graboid tentacle vibe.

Good point! Totally missed that detail.

I also wonder if the vehicle chimes when the door is opened and the keys are in it. If it is normal to chime then, who’d notice the “Not in Park” notification?

I just picked it up for a re-read a few days ago. I love how real Stephenson makes it feel. The only thing that gets me is the constant Internet / Social Media buzzwords. I know he’s got a reason for using them, but I suspect, given the frailty of such systems’ popularity, the references will be a barrier to new…

14:20, yo. Fuck the nebbish!

2:20?
