Yes. Cover for the lift fan…well the first one is, second canopy was the pilot noping out after almost making the full 8 seconds. -
Oh his tires will find it just fine

Well good luck getting ADS-B banned. It’s essentially a requirement for safe, modern traffic control and conflict resolution. It’s broadcast continually by most aircraft and a network of receivers are patched together to put on a website. It’s not rocket surgery. Those birds do a lot of repositioning flights and many are chartered out to help with fixed costs, so he may not be onboard. However we’ve seen wackos try to kidnap a governor so anything is possible. Personally I’d be more afraid of stalkers than kidnap/murder. But I’m not a billionaire with a very public persona yet skin thinner than an overripe peach. -

Well in my neighborhood they’re 90% Indian dudes, I am sure they’re not pieces of shit…but I wouldn’t really know either, because if grandma/grandpa live with them then they won’t even wave back at me let alone chat. The rest talk my ear off and are cool as shit. I asked my best friend (Indian dude) about that once and he said “if the grandparents are living there then it’s a whole different world inside” which makes sense, having spent a few months there working and half my career managing predominantly-Indian vendors, caste is no joke. The moms all drive gray Odysseys at 15mph, so I guess a Tesla is the Indian tech dude status symbol. For me they remind me of early Android phones, where everyone had a task manager app to kill rogue processes…works great 95% of the time but that 5% leads to weird issues. I’m not really in the mood to treat my car like my work PC, with odd IT-ware installs and regular updates/reboots. Plus a giant iPad as the only interface and unpredictable fit/finish is why I bought a gently used G80 Sport and will get a Mach E or other electric car next go around. To each their own, just not for me right now. And they all look the same…I had a Prelude when Celicas were the rage, a CTS-V instead of a 335i and the Genesis over the GS/E-class/5-series/A6 because I hate to see myself coming/going. -

I’m actually enjoying how he’s managing to piss off such a diverse group of fanatics who typically prove completely allergic to reasonable discourse: Reddit stock/stonk/etc brrrrrrt-ers, crypto bros, Tesla diehards, Elon worshippers, ‘muh free speech’ types who maliciously misinterpret the law, leopards-ate-my-face wingnuts, and billionaire-defenders. Schadenfreude yes, but it’s also nice to see someone with near-infinite resources utterly fail at bending the world to his whim. -

His first wife had great tits. That’s always occupied the priority 1 slot in my brain when I think about RGIII. -
No, Mike Leach, YOU'RE awesome! [Pirates Last Voyage]

Not gonna quote the long cat post of stories it came from, but I’m going to add “you gotta get your dick into it, point your dick at him” into my vernacular in Leach’s honor -

I’m sure I’m in the minority here or will get accused of being a woke snowflake…but Chappelle has really nosedived in my humble opinion. I remember going to COTA for some comedy tour where he was to close it out, and after all the drama about folks needing to put their phones away I was underwhelmed as it wasn’t anything worth recording anyways. Dave seemed to come back very different…bulked/roided up, angry and no longer rooting for the underdog in his comedy. He’s full on fuck you mode. I’ve thought it’s telling that he openly chain smokes all the time during shows, interviews, etc. A millionaire brought a billionaire on stage, and in response to fans booing, called them poor. -
disregard, Surly did a weird thing and posted my multi quote in the wrong thread

Seems he’s out, per TMZ via my google news feed. Covid lead to pneumonia and the vent, which seems fitting given his past viewpoints on the subject. His body has got to be beat to hell across the board.

Ahh memories of getting a literal corner piece of a brick…like tearing apart frosted wheats, seeds popping out everywhere, finding bits of rope stuck inside, puffs of dust coming up to greet you.

Post dumb shit. Get called out for it. Defend dumb shit. Get negged. ‘You mad bro’ Like clockwork -
I went through that, proxy wars over past alcohol transgressions. In fact a vicious cycle of my problem drinking was driven by how my wife jumped on my case over little things…she was on edge due to my transgressions, which lead her to a short fuse, which lead to picking fights over the gotdamn laundry I spent an hour on, which lead to me withdrawing in a bottle because I didn’t feel appreciated…it just went on like that. Although not an alcoholic (if my success moderating past few years is an indication), I can sympathize. It’s such a personal triumph to quit/fix the problem, you’re feeling good and (in my experience) you can tell the mental gymnastics over ‘Will I / Won’t I Tonight’ are over…but your partner hasn’t immediately followed along with you and things haven’t really changed at the same pace you have. In my case it just took time to earn her trust back…and therapy to realize that I can only control myself, and not hitch my mental wagon to her mental state. I still felt down when I was getting snapped at for seemingly minor transgressions, but I tried hard not to let it ruin my whole day like before wherein I’d double down with ‘well fine, if you’re gonna treat me rudely then I’ll do what I want…which is drink and watch Aliens by myself.’ I’ve always been a giver and people pleaser, so it was hard. But things definitely improved over time, and I got my girl back…which started a positive cycle from the ashes of the negative one we’d been in. As noted above it’s certainly possible that your spouse won’t ever ‘follow’ this refurbished you, but all you can control is your choices, stay focused on how you react, and hope for the best.

F35 Shitbird, F22 Badass and similar
Homercles replied to Parliament's topic in Business and Markets
I mean…I have plenty of disgust for the military/industrial complex and it’s blatant abuse of taxpayer funds…but the thousands of people who spent years designing, refining and agonizing over building this thing deserve a snazzy rollout to celebrate their work. It also seems to have come in on time and on budget, which is a celebration in itself. There’s a great book called Skunk Works by Ben Rich (RIP) that does a great job covering development of the F-117, along with working with legendary Kelly Johnson. It’s remarkable how far stealth has come from those days. -
I stopped going a few years after I sold my motorcycle, but went to ROT a good dozen times from 2007-2019. Moving it to COTA, then whatever god forsaken glorified field it’s in now, was the end of the road for me…plus it was expensive for what you got, the acts were shit, and it was the same people doing the same shit. I’m always amazed there weren’t more deaths around town or at the grounds…I think the primary saving grace was that most of the dumbest shit, where there was a crowd to show off to, happened at all of 15mph. The ‘parade’ downtown became a slow crawl of overheated Harley’s and the ‘parade route’ around the Expo center barely moved at all late in the evening when people were most drunk…had to call 911 once due to a cart tipping over with head injuries but everything else was fender benders.

Carpetbagging weasel faced smarmy little bitch, Ted Cruz
Homercles replied to Grade of D as in David's topic in Cloak Room
Wow I didn’t know that, not to be rude but is there a source on that? I cannot imagine living with a national public figure for a parent, who not only spreads that hate to a huge audience but is also in a position of power to advance laws that discriminate against someone like his own child. I like to think that these people legit change when the leopards try to eat their own face, but let’s be real…his entire persona revolves around this and is probably key to yet another ambition on being president. Our 9yo boy has apparently shown a few signs that he may be gay, according to my educator wife who has taught/counseled a few over the decades. He’s definitely not your rough/tumble/sports/etc boy, has mostly girls as friends, etc but we all know it’s too early to know and doesn’t matter anyway…the only reason I’d care is because assholes like Cruz want to make his life miserable, and I want him to be happy to avoid this exact kind of misery that leads someone with their whole life ahead of them to try to kill themselves. We take an active role in reading books, making comments and having discussions that people should be free to be in a relationship that suits them and their partner, whatever gender they feel is appropriate. My son is an extremely kind, thoughtful, insightful, empathetic, calm (unlike his sister), gentle soul who loves all the world has to offer and I will go fucking nuclear if the GOP succeeds in making him feel like an outcast should he end up gay, non-binary, whatever he chooses for himself. I take no joy in little miss Cruz misery, but I sure hope Ted takes this to heart or his wife kicks him out of the family if he doesn’t. But who am I kidding, nothing changes with those people. /rant- 6965 replies
