Let’s put this a different way. You were given the choice of saving only one of two children from a burning building, and actively chose to let both of them burn to death, because you couldn’t save both.
Real superhero Karen energy, right there.
Once you wrap your head around the new orientation of things, it’s actually really well designed to work on. I figured the mechanics just didn’t want to learn anything “new”
Nah, Americans just don’t like to read the manuals, and they got a bad reputation in the late '70s and early '80s when they first put turbos into the cars, because you had to pull into the driveway, and let the turbo spin down for at least 30 seconds to a minute. If you didn’t, the turbo would seize and then shred itself when you turn the car back on.
Also American mechanics don’t like the fact that the engine is not in the configuration they are used to. It’s rotated 90° on the z axis and 45 on the x axis. Absolutely solid tanks if you actually read the manual, and followed the routine maintenance recommendations.
It’s not the actual turbo that gets gummed, the fuel system is what gums up, but for some reason it’s far worse on the turbo versions of the cars. I could put low octane into the non turbo SAABs I had, and it didn’t gum up the intake the way the turbo versions did. I don’t know why.
Pre GM SAABs. I’ve personally gotten 2 of my 5 to over 1,000,000 miles on the original engine and transmission. Both manual transmission. A couple hundred of them have made it to 2,000,000 world wide. The lowest milage I killed a SAAB at was 789,000 miles. I hydroplaned into a semi on I-75, and the car still technically ran, but I gave it to my parents as a parts car. Just read the owners manual, and be absolutely religious about basic maintenance.
Oh, and the turbos don’t like low octane fuel. It gums them up.
They already are. This is just self defense.
Front for money laundering?
Even Conan gave up that bit after only a decade.
Your last description is essentially the idea behind the F-117a. That thing isn’t wasn’t flying, it’s it was achieving escape velocity.
Already dealing with it. Those fuckers are being cut out of my life. Anyone that voted for the mango mussolini, I’m no longer speaking to or helping in any way. Many are shocked, because I used to be known as the friendliest person in my town by several people.
This just raises the question for me about electronic voting machines. I know that 12 states are using machines with no paper trail, I wanna know if my suspicion that Wisconsin may be one of those is correct.
I’m not going to make a call for violence, but I want to point out the hypocrisy here. The rich have chosen violence every day of our and their lives, yet we plebes have to be civil about it? Taking the high road hasn’t done us any favors, and it’s about time we learn from that lesson.
IIRC trying to remember for the last 20 years, but those take a couple to a few weeks, and the challenges in court will take possibly till Jan.
Calling it now, the mail in ballot counting will call it for Harris, and we’re gonna have another Jan. 6
What did South Africa do to BTS?
A former housemate did so much water damage with a portable A/C unit, that not even two months ago I had to rip up the whisper walk, and the original wooden flooring (house was built in the '30s) all the way down to the subfloor. Replacing the whisper walk would have been $3000 for just that room. We managed to find vinyl flooring that matched the rest of the flooring in the house and redid the floor for $1500.
My point is that you can get nice vinyl flooring, and it’s not terribly expensive to replace/ install.
United Nations Cabana Fund?
Meanwhile musk crashed his McLaren trying to impress Peter Thiel

Lacy asked Musk whether there was a parallel between the dramatic crash and how he builds companies. Musk’s response was, “I hope not. That could be awkward with a rocket launch.”
Elon wants to be Stark. He’s actually Iron Monger. He wants to be Stark so fucking badly.
Democrats have been neoliberals since the time of the first Clinton campaign. The milquetoast candidates are a direct result of that.
If you voted, then I’ll recind the analogy towards you. The 15 million democratic voters in 2020 that stayed home for whatever reason in 2024, still did exactly what I just portrayed. They had a choice to make, and they made the choice to do nothing, because things aren’t perfect.
