    I picked up a 76 280Z earlier in the year. It's in really great shape and the stock 2.8L engine runs strong. Same with the interior. It's not a factory standard color, but I like it. My plan for now is just to clean it up, go with bigger 16" panasports, maybe a new exhaust header, maaaaybe swap the 4speed for a 5, otherwise keep the little things from turning into big things, and enjoy it for what it is.

    That is bad ass dude.  When I was a kid, one of the older teens on my block had one.  I thought it was the coolest thing I'd ever seen when they came out.   Have fun with it!

    if I recall correctly, Orban is in a bad place.   He chose to be Putin’s puppet within the EU and NATO, voting against Pro Ukraine initiatives whenever he could.    His power base is pro Russian, and he took a pro Russian foreign policy position on many things, including where to buy his fucking oil.    He naturally is addicted to that sweet sweet Ural crude/gas.  The problem is, Brussels just announced it would be OK for Ukraine to destroy the pipeline from Russia bringing that to Hungary.

    And since he is buying Russian he is subject to Trump’s sanctions.   I think his intent is to ask Trump to give Hungary dispensation from the sanctions so they can keep buying Russian oil……because that would help Hungary help Trump get his Nobel peace prize. Or some shit like that.

    Orban recently had the brainstorm to mark the anniversary of the year Russia brought in tanks to suppress a Hungarian independence movement. Shockingly, lots of pro western citizens took to the streets to condemn Orban and Russia and Putin - with a great vigor and large numbers I might add.    Orban’s position seems to be getting more precarious.   He needs to tie into western petroleum supplies and ditch Russia.   But if he does that, Putin will ratchet up the pro Russia hardliners within Hungary to create all kinds of problems.

    I think that Orban is kind of a dead man walking.  Fortunately, he’s going to see that bastion of common sense and empathy in the White House and try to get some help.

    Sucks to be him.  I'll shed a salty tear.

    That’s a beauty.  I was just about to buy it when I saw “local pickup only”. 
     

    oh well

    If you don't a-s-k, you don't g-e-t.  Always worth asking.

    In my experience, it is not more expensive either.  Junk food, soda, Doritos, etc costs more than fresh vegetables.  And bananas are stupid how cheap they are.  
    It takes more time though.  I used to "provision."  Would buy 2-3 weeks of non perishables and supplement with milk from the gas station.  Now I gotta go to Walmart for broccoli and bananas every week.

    Careful with bananas. A doc friend refers to them as “natures Snickers bars.”
    One last one.  I track calories in and calories out with My Fitness Pal and a Garmin smart watch.  You can't do straight line math on calories in and calories out.  As measured, it's easily 10% off.  I totally understand why people there's some "magic" in calorie burn, and why all those quack fixes are out there.  

    I use MyFitnessPal as well via Fitbit. Really helps to see the actual calories in/out data.

    I didn’t mean throw coffee on someone specifically. I meant flip out, etc. Which is why I said something like that.

    I said she was wrong, and she was. 

    But the difference is beat described by Sheriff Buford T Justice: “You can think about it… but don’t do it.”

    Obviously, AI can't replicate a live performance witnessed live.  So live music is alive and well, and maybe the artificiality of AI generated recorded music will see a golden age of live music.  A greater appreciation for the "performance" part of "performance art."  Digital artifacts generated by humans and AI will eventually be largely indistinguishable.  So let go of the idea that digital musical artifacts are going to amount to anything other than training data for the next iteration of AI models, and embrace what AI can't replicate -- that magic that can happen when a good group of musicians are all on their game and feeding energy back and forth with a captive and engaged audience.

    How long until we are seeing live bands requested to cover AI hits?  Essentially becoming AI cover bands.

    This is the best sub-plot of 2025.  After taking passenger rail to NYC to go on The View to stump for affordable healthcare; MTG takes time to honor the remarkable legacy of former Speaker Pelosi. Despite political differences, Pelosi was an effective leader and inspiring woman who worked to make America better.

    She is running for the 1996 GOP presidential nomination. The secret shapeshifting cabal accidentally removed the Y2K patch when they sent out an operating system update. 
     

     

    WTF is happening?  This timeline man.

  8. Ironically this was yesterday evening so like exactly 24 hrs.  
     
    As CS notes it could certainly be word twisting and of course always be skeptical.  I just thought it was worth sharing that.
     

    I get it. It’s human nature to speculate, and it wouldn’t be the Surl if we didn’t. Myself included.

    I’m just saying speculation is all it is at the outset. Rarely do you get solid facts beyond “the plane crashed and the crew is dead.” That much we can see with our own eyes.
