Put this on his gravestone. “I think he’s a kook. I think he’s crazy. I think he’s unfit for office”
“I’m concerned by the media’s attempt to label Trump as a kook or not fit to be President.”
That pretty much gives you the measure of the man

I’ve been here 2-3 years and have up or down voted like 5 times. I just don’t care about it and don’t look at the numbers. Seems to work


Was it synthetic oil? Synthetic used to be a little more uncommon and was more expensive, now it’s more common and the same price as conventional oil. But oil change places still charge double for synthetic.


Yeah I don’t know, that’s just what Slate said “the telematics module is primarily for fleet customers, Slate told Ars.”

I read that the telematics package is meant for fleets, not average buyers

A guy and his wife went to marriage therapy…
Therapist: Your wife says you don’t pay attention to what’s going on in her life and you’re not romantic, for example, you never buy her flowers.
Husband: Gosh, I guess that’s true. I mean… I didn’t even know she sold flowers.

Same. I don’t eat a ton of spicy food but when I do everything’s normal afterward.


This depended entirely on where you lived. My parents were divorced and one lived in the country and one lived in the suburbs. I could ride freely around the neighborhood in both places, which was literally within sight of my house, but beyond that were dangerous roads and nowhere nearby to go anyway.
Neighboring kids were hard to find. In the country, there were 5 houses on our road and only one had kids my age. We were kinda friends but they were kinda weird.
The suburban neighborhood had 25 homes, and all the kids were older or younger. I never met anyone my age in that neighborhood.
Hanging out with friends meant you called them to see if they could come over. If both parents agreed and one was available to drive, you had a friend for the day.


It’s a comedy show from the 80s called “Sledge Hammer!”


FYI, that whole show is available on archive.org


It’s been a few years but I don’t remember it being too hard to set up. I did it on slackware, compiling everything from source, so anybody should be able to do it on a distro with dependency resolution.
They provided a zip file that is updated every so often (hourly?) and contains data for your specific region. I just used that. It does have an option that people can use their own data, but I think it’s because most NWS offices run this model in addition to the national models they get from upstream. No normal person has enough input data to be useful.


I haven’t done it in a few years but I used to run my own weather model. If fed the correct data and given time to crunch the numbers, several times a day you can create your own weather forecast that is probably (hopefully) similar to the freely available forecasts from the weather service, TV, radio and apps.


He drove the goddamn presidential motorcade through the reflecting pool
Update: I found a family of them. The first one was behind the building I work at on one side. I was on the other side today and found these.



I think most people who aren’t good with knots tie knots that don’t hold and people who can tie a decent knot can untie them too.
Really, you can untie any knot, it just depends on how good and patient you are.
I’m not sure but whenever I need a pen I go to penisland.net, they might have some small ones
I’d say that’s right. I’ve never seen one before, and neither has anyone at work


I drive a Jeep and don’t feel a kinship with Jeepers. I used to. Mine is a 2001 and in those days I could drive across town and see 1-2 other Jeeps. We’d wave, and if we stopped at a red light next to each other, there’s a good chance we’d talk and possibly invite each other to go offroad or even just stop and have a beer or something. Most Jeepers knew their Jeep inside and out and had built, modified, installed and worked on every inch of them.
Nowadays, it’s weird. There’s 3-4 Jeeps at every red light, so why wave? A lot of Jeeps are superhero or cartoon themed which is the dumbest most childish shit to me. There’s orange Nero jeeps and blue Dory jeeps, green Shrek jeeps, and they’re all covered in so many damn LED lights they could signal Jupiter. I’ve never got into the duck thing either.
That’s enough of an old man rant. I won’t get into how I’ve seen Jeep events cancelled due to light sprinkles, how Jeep “offroad shops” mostly just sell LED lights and Jeep branded clothes now, or that time a trail leader interrupted me giving excellent advice to a Jeep experiencing brake fade coming down a mountain, to recommend taking the Jeep to the dealer.
