  1. Fragile wokesters need not apply.
  2. World War II came about because too many people looked the other way, rather than acknowledging the negative and taking a stand against it before it was entirely out of hand.
  3. Difference of opinion and open discussion is healthy in a functioning society, but censorship based on one side's dogma isn't.
  4. Lately I'm more annoyed than ever by mumbling, ignorant, hypocritical idiots masquerading as reasonably decent and competent adults.
  5. "Sense" and "cents" are two more words frequently interchanged by common-core graduates posting on the web.
  6. Own your mistakes and failures if you're a leader...or anyone; blaming others constantly isn't adult behavior.
  7. Season your Christmas ham with old sock squeezin's.
  8. Fun is in the eye of the beholder.
  9. How 'bout a bootleg rumcake runner? Or bourbon pie?
  10. Shimmer is a feeless, parallelized DAG ledger to secure and create fully customizable smart contract chains. Launched as a staging network to battle-test all future innovations for the IOTA protocol, its tokenization framework will guarantee full interoperability, composability and feeless value transfers between smart contract chains, and aims to make Shimmer a truly scalable multi-chain network.
  11. Us against them is what it always comes down to.
  12. Here's Leno with a 2002 that's been engine-swapped with a later S14 four cylinder from an '89 M3.
  13. It's a single overhead cam 4 cylinder, with rocker arms actuating the valves. Below is a Ti with Webers. You see the engine bay isn't long enough to accommodate a six...but you could stuff one in by modding the firewall. It would most likely destroy the balance of the car though, which is what makes them fun and responsive to drive
  14. I stripped a vintage AMT Indy car in DOT 3, pulled it out after a day, and it literally crumbled. I've also stripped an automotive-grade catalyzed urethane clear from an old Revell Chevy panel delivery with no adverse effects whatsoever...and the DOT 3 was the only thing that would even slightly soften the paint...but I still had to carefully scrape it with an X-Acto chisel-tip blade. In my experience, high-proof iso usually strips factory finishes on cars and model railroad equipment...and some lacquers. Oven cleaner takes off old enamels, usually, even stuff that's been on a model for 30+ years, but often takes several applications on the really old finishes. I'll only use brake fluid as a last resort.
  15. Uses abound for ground bones, and I'm looking forward to trying some in the future if things get much worse.
  16. Unsaid is what brutally hurtful things can never be.
  17. Site wisdom maintains that ago to awork I amust, if I awant to aeat.
  18. Really like where this is headed, but I like pretty much everything you build. Sure wish I'd bought a real one before the prices went nutz.
  19. You're 10 hours late. Current last-word is "1990".
  20. Door-to-door selling encyclopedias was a tough way to make a living for the few weeks I did it.
  21. It's definitely working.
  22. Eden, Barbara, was a double-A table-grade major babe in her prime, and she's still pretty cute at 91.
  23. One can't work to change the sorry state of things if one sticks one's fingers in one's ears and shouts "la la la la la la" to avoid hearing what a mess we're in.
