"Think" is something IBM's Jeopardy-winning Watson was able to apparently do better than most of the highly touted consumer-grade "AI" we're seeing today, though it didn't actually understand context. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Watson#

Side with the machines because, unlike humanity, their intelligence is increasing.

I know of several kit sources, but haven't researched 3D availability yet. Just be sure to get actual side-drafts, as some modelers interchange side- and down-draft Webers without realizing that's as blatantly incorrect as mounting a Holley 4bbl upside down.

Over all of humanity AI will perhaps someday rule...

"Sure" is often written "shure" by those who can't spell or by the terminally clever.

Nice detail photos.

Pastries could be used for snack-size pasties.

Some fine looking work going on here. Good stuff.

Soda bread of the Irish variety uses bicarbonate of soda instead of yeast for leavening.

Just a thought...some of the kits produced in the early '60s are pretty much perfectly scaled renditions of their full size prototypes. It's nothing to do with the "tech" available at the time. The issue with this kit was no-talent tool designers and insufficient management oversight.

I applaud your efforts. I bought several of these kits when I first returned to hobby modeling years ago, having been satisfied with Revell's ability to render lines and proportions correctly on many other kits produced in the 1960s. I've rarely been so disappointed with any kit, being a 356 owner and enthusiast myself. The body shape rendition is almost as bad as anything Palmer ever did, a loose impression of a Speedster done apparently without measuring, by an artist lacking talent. Every time I've taken one out to see what I could do to improve it, I've put it back in the box shaking my head. Pretty much nothing is right. I'm looking forward to seeing what you can do with the thing. I definitely need some inspiration, as I kinda hate to give up on the models if anything reasonably like a Speedster can be achieved without starting from scratch.

"Koolaid" is pretty much nothing but sugar water, with zero nutritional value.

Water, water everywhere, but not a drop of whisky to drink.

You can't buy time.

Christmas spirit seems to me to be more elusive with the passing years.

I'm sure one of our 'logistics' experts will say it's working the way it's supposed to...or that...reasons.

I currently have no gripes with the USPS. Somebody has apparently noticed it doesn't make sense to divert deliveries to my zip through several other fairly local ones, rather than just put them on the right truck to the correct local distribution point. And my old standard local driver is still on the job, doing it perfectly, and his new route partner can apparently read English and understands street numbers too. PLUS...they're delivering on Sunday over the holiday rush period. AND...all the Christmas stuff I sent all over the country arrived in plenty of time for the big day. Pretty cool whan stuff works the way it's supposed to.

Evening rush hour (morning too) is something I've planned my life to avoid over the years. "Outing" isn't what I'd call an evening trip to WallyWorld.

1788 was just a few years before I was born.

People supposedly taste like pork.

That bites. I just checked a couple of "complete" 70+ year old HO scale model RR kits that turned out to be nothing but random parts thrown in the boxes, but you kinda expect some of that with open kits that have been around almost 3/4 of a century, sold by people who have no clue.

"ME ME ME ME ME!!!" is all someone I know is concerned with, though she constantly says how concerned with my welfare and happiness she is...as long as my actions suit her agenda.

"Drink deep the gathering gloom"...or is it "breathe deep" and so forth?
