We've lost a lot of understanding of how the world we take for granted works as we've "progressed" and become oh so "tech savvy". By the time I was out of sixth grade, I had learned the basic operation of 4-stroke IC engines, how electricity is generated and distributed by transmission lines and transformers, how electric motors convert energy back to useful work, and how rockets and airplanes fly...all requirements in grade-school science. I routinely meet college grads who don't know any of it today. How the bloody h are you qualified to vote for representatives and policy issues if you have no idea of how the world you're totally dependent on functions on even the most basic level?

Absolutely. This IS the interwebs, right?

Wow. Googlie's AI has achieved true captain-obvious status. Will technological wonderment never cease?

"Joy" is a name several high-profile women who seem to be ignorant of the concept are called by.

Hour-long documentaries meant for broadcast often waste a lot of time bringing short-attention-span viewers back up to speed after every commercial break.

I bought a slightly damaged Danbury/Bordens 1/24 diecast some time back to pull molds from, but I'm running years behind on doing any of that stuff.

Story time with...wait...I better not go there.

I don't play much, but sure as h, if I wanted a golf cart, I know a place here where I can buy just a normal older one that's been rebuilt and painted, with all new batteries, for about $2500-$5000. For that matter, you can buy one for a few hundred $ or less that just needs batteries and a good cleanup. No way in h I'd spend stupid money on a pretend car that screams "I'm a dwerpderp with money to burn !!!!!" when I could spend it on a real somethingorother.

"Transformabile" refers to the sliding canvas roof panel, not that it becomes a crazy mech...but that'd be pretty cool.

That's a seriously bad--- looking bug. Sure glad they aren't as big as housecats. Or horses.

I like it just fine the way it is. I like pie too. ?

Here's more. And yes, his very early cars were made from scrapped refrigerators, but the really cool ones are made from virgin steel.

Hmmmm...

Beaver Scrapple and pancakes would be good this morning, but since I don't have any beaver or stuff to make pancakes, I guess it'll be eggs and Spam.

If you mean this guy, they're absolute works of panel-beating mechanical art, far far removed from golf carts. I actually met the guy in Oatman, AZ several years back, on the Rt. 66 Fun Run. (NOT MY VIDEO)

And...shortly after I moved last time, somebody here did a build of a woody with some pf the best wood effects I'd ever seen, describing the techniques and listing the materials. So I went out and bought all the stuff to try it on one I had on the bench at the other place, Lorena, a chopped Monogram '30 Ford. I was really fired up to try the wood look, but I could never find the model. I know I put her in a tin cookie box to keep all the bits together, but it's never resurfaced since the move. Of course, in the intervening years I've scattered or lost all the wood-effect materials during subsequent bench cleanups too. EDIT: Just this week I've lost the bright green box cutter I keep in the GMC, the red-handled X-Acto that's lived on my desk for years, and a teaspoon. Which is odd, cause I rarely misplace anything for more than an hour or so. Oh my...

Something else to consider here is that different computer monitors and screens will display colors differently. The color looks quite different on my main home laptop and my big desktop screens, for instance.

Bullets be hanged; get out the mustard and ketchup.

Microwave weapons have been around for some time, but I don't recall anybody cooking an enemy yet.

All very cool, love that big 'ol V2. And the FPP '58 Ferrari Ghia 410 on the shelf has me off on another rabbit-hole quest... It just never stops.

I usually use maple syrup or jam. I have some semi-sweet marmalade that needs to get used up, so that'll probably be it this time.

A little different, a little gamier than beef, but I go so heavy on the pureed habaneros you don't notice it much. This batch is pretty good, but a little one-dimensional. The flavoring needs some tinkering. Cumin, definitely, more garlic, and something to add a little sweetness.
