We had a ‘77 Kombi with the 2.0 fuel inject motor with the cold start valve problems growing up and lived on a bit of a hill.  On days when my little brother would go to pre-school my mother would get us belted in, give it a bit of a push, hop in and compression start that SOB until my folks found a mechanic that knew…

Definitely a sub person, but I really like most sandwiches. Honestly, the only one I’m not a huge fan of are sloppy joes, never got into those....

right - it’s just stupid to ignore. I’ve got an ‘18 wrx and if you mount the plate as directed I found the oil temps run 3-5 degrees hotter than after pulling it up just three inches out of the way with an additional bracket because it would block airflow....

For what it’s worth - that guy’s sacrifice has inspired lots of folks and not just in China... We have folks that have fled China/Hong Kong getting tear gassed here - full circle!

It is just so risky to have a phone at all in a situation like that. Bring a separate camera and leave the phone off site...

Interesting - I am seeing a lot of low market vehicles here as well. Credit score is an excellent predictor of traffic accidents - so maybe what we have here is irresponsible/poor drivers gravitating to these vehicles, rather than the vehicles themselves causing higher death rates?  Correlation is not causation.

I saw that, and I’m not sure if I believe it - eagles are big, strong birds. Juvenile on a light pole from last fall on Alki point in Seattle - it certainly doesn’t have “small hands”.

Limu the Emu is clearly at the heart of this conspiracy - pulling all the strings.

I had a couple buggies, a Losi and original RC10, a couple decades ago while in college and they were super fun. One of those “it’s kind of expensive and takes up a lot of my time” hobbies, ended up giving them to a neighbor kid.  I would definitely go electric, especially now - the gas units, while fun and fast, are…

right - script not word for word, but the final result turned out better than I’m thinking they even thought it would

Reed was great, but Gleason absolutely makes the movie.  Really quite well written for a 70's slapstick fun movie too.  

ha - that’s what I do too

Scott’s Dairy Freeze - chocolate malt and a corn dog please

honestly, not much. We are lucky enough to have a local Safeway that has been spectacular - well run and consistently stocked. We run with a few extra weeks of capacity just in case something goes sideways, but really the only thing that was recently purchased but hasn’t been opened yet are a couple bottles of liquor…

I’m pretty sure the 1973 Beetle was actually the first to offer Lidar, pretty sure.

Exactly right - people I work with are being stupid/slimy/stressed today so I’m going for a walk in a half hour. I can’t say I’ve ever regretted going for a walk.

Group 2!  I love walking past that place - they always have a bunch of cool stuff they are working on.  

You have a point. Canned tamales are a completely different experience than fresh or even mass produced frozen, but I still enjoy them for what they are. They are kind of the Totino’s frozen pizza of the tamale world. Certainly not gourmet and I completely understand some folks not liking them, but still have culinary …

right - no judge - I used to work with a guy who had them for dinner several times a week. If we were out at a bar or something that’s all he would ever order. He absolutely loves them.

Just old enough to miss the “nugget” craze - I was a fillet-o-fish kid... I still am somewhat in awe of how many adults base a significant portion of their weekly diet on chikin nuggets...
