i’d rather have the BMW 750i that doesn’t run (fuel pump issues supposedly) on my local FB marketplace

I liked them. They were somewhat bland (though not anymore than 90% of american cars of the time), but they are very comfortable and are a good relaxing freeway cruiser that with the v8 was reasonably powerful. I also think they have aged better than a lot of cars. They look dated, but not in a bad way necessarily.

I for one has seen what a motorcycle chain “failure” at high speed can do to the engine, frame and rider. I would be terrified to see what kind of damage this Datsun’s long chain and sprocket set would do.

Except the Focus ST isn’t necessarily better. Yeah, it has 50 more horsepower but the larger size and longer wheelbase makes it a lot less fling-able. A number of enthusiasts have stated pretty clearly that they think the Fiesta is more fun to drive, apparently including the instructors at the Octane Academy Ford runs…

It’s cute you think that; but the vast majority of people that receive government assistance don’t want to be doing so and are taking active measures to get themselves back on their feet. Don’t damn the majority trying to do right because of the few that abuse the system, you’ll feel better at night and about people…

He looks like a racist version of frank zappa who was beaten repeatedly over the head with a lead pipe as a toddler.

This so much. I’ve never gone from this should be interesting to meh so quickly than to find out this is Mac only. 

Yeah, it seems a lot of potential data going to waste having the utility locked to Macs.

Meanwhile, modify your own miniatures out of Hotwheels for a similar type of game.

Meanwhile, at the Horizon booth!

Seconded. My recollection is that “N.E.S.” caught on quite a bit AFTER the introduction of the game system.

Yea, it was “lets go play Nintendo” until the SNES came out. That doesnt change the way it was advertised or that it has always been N.E.S and S.N.E.S for differentiating the two.

Its was a “Nintendo” until the SNES came out. You had to differentiate the two (we still said “Regular Nintendo” pretty often). Also, around that time your parents started calling every video game “Nintendo” so you definitely couldn’t call it that.

Anyone who was alive when these came out knows that these will always be the N.E.S. in America.

It’s a disgusting precedent set on the enterprise side by Cisco. It isn’t necessary and confers no benefit to the end user.

Nintendo Japan’s pronunciation of “NES” shouldn’t be considered authoritative because nobody calls it that in Japan. They call it the “Famicom.” The Nintendo Entertainment System was its overseas name for the slightly modified console, so what we’re seeing in the museum is their Japanese rendering of what is…

Take me back to civilization,  because this is savage.

This so perfectly fits the description of “somebody else’s project car” that it should be immortalized on the Internet as an example of what NOT to do.

But tech companies know how to analyze and exploit your financial data in a way that banks haven’t yet done, according to Bankrate. They can use your data to tailor other product offerings to your financial habits. They’re hoping to be a one-stop shop for consumers.

Don’t forget to leave the giants stranded at the riverside near the one lane bridge.
