I think the issue I worry about is the armoring. Look at a street car tire after a while. The sidewall will have scuffs and sometimes chunks missing from stuff like curb strikes or pot holes or shovels in the road (happened to me once). The tire is still holding air and doing its job, because the manufacturer puts a…

There is also an administration burden that needs to be talked about.

I can’t believe that a race tire could take a sidewall impact.

Look at other countries, where they have a much better relationship between the cops and the civilians and a lot less incidents of cops shooting people randomly or the like. Now look at the training and testing requirements to be a police person in these countries.

I was a pre-teen with a older sister that was obsessed with disco when Abba hit the scene. I could likely do well in a Abba Name that tune, but they would have to have it on a 5 second delay and have a bucket for me to yell the answers in.

My wife and I watch a TV show called Dalgliesh. The main character drives an 1971 XKE series III 2+2 in BRG.

I can see them doing at least 3 jobs at once. No reason why they can’t scam old ladies into buying a pile of Amazon Gift cards while they are also driving a semi in Nebraska and running tech support for a large company.

Yeah, I was going to post a picture, but I think even googling that will get you on a list of “not hireable” at almost any company.

I wish there was a way to measure smiles per mile. A lot of these vehicles that rip off insane times around a track are boring to drive in the real world, because most drivers don’t have the skills and even if they do, it would be insanely illegal and dangerous to push the limits on such a vehicle on the street.

It won’t cost big bucks. All the drivers will be in a place like Mumbai.  We will just have to get used to these sort of traffic patterns.

As a normally bearded guy that wear strong glasses, the only thing that fools the computer is the CPAC. I think Facial recognition looks as the spacing between the eyes, how lined up they are, spacing between the eyes and lips and the like. The CPAC mask pushes hard enough against the face to distort these spacings.

Oh, he looks like the guy. But I want more than “we found a guy in a hoodie sweatshirt in NYC in winter that has thick eyebrows.” Sure, in the pictures from other areas, that 100% looks like him and some of the stuff he’s talked about and written about point strongly toward him, but I want to see the complete story…

True, but growing a bear takes time. I’m a hairy SOB and it will be at least a 3 weeks before I get to the point of “having a beard”.  If he showed up with a beard and shaved it off, it might have fooled people, but not computers.

So, something about the beard. I’ve had a full beard for about 25 years now. I’ve gone from fairly trimmed to hobo Santa, but I’ve always had a beard. I had to shave it off last week and I looked completely different. Nothing at all like what I looked like with a beard. Coworkers and friends couldn’t recognize me, etc.

I don’t like this story. Dude’s a suspect. Dude 3D printed gun parts it appears. A LOT of people 3D print gun parts. The internet is full of “this is the guy!” and all I see is “dude had a “ghost gun” and a 3D printer!” and no indication he even went to NYC.

So, about 10 years ago, it was a pretty sunset and my daughter wanted to take a picture of a bridge. We stopped at a park for her to take a picture and within seconds this weird dude approached her. And being the dad of a then teenager, I went over to supervise.

They’ve been in the process of replacing them for half my life. And I still see LLVs all over the place, burning oil faster than gasoline. Just buy something damnit and quit yakking about it.

Oh, I agree that EV makes sense, but it’s been 10-20 years of “we’ll gonna replace the LLV!” and all I see is ancient LLVs trundling around the city areas with sweaty people staggering out of them.  Meanwhile, UPS seems to have a lot of Metris or Sprinter vans, that can’t be more than 40 years old.

Strangely, Toyota.
