Yeah, it's glitchy again.

"Sweet Hawaiian" rolls, the little ones, make pretty decent clones of Krystal and White Castle burgers.

46 is pretty close to 42, which is of course the meaning of life, the universe, and everything.

Yup. Me too.

I've seen pages occasionally hang during loading recently...

I've never had a problem with dust and trash in my paint since I started wearing big-boy pants, even shooting it outside. Making sure there's no trash on the model, making sure there's no trash on me, and not painting in wind has served me just fine for decades. Maybe I'm just lucky.

Yes indeed, she looks great. Those exhaust tips really enhance the realism from the rear view too. Far as the real cars go, with moderately upgraded brakes, cooling, rubber, and electrics (and a few more esoteric things like real rust protection and replacing the rear hub ball bearings with tapered rollers), they can be extremely reliable and as fast as any sane person could need on the street.

GREAT looking model. Very nice indeed.

And tough. I wonder how the snowflakes are going to cope...

With its somewhat GM look (with touches of Ford and Chrysler and even AMC), it'd be a fun one to have stateside, lightly modded (de-badge and add mags and redline tires), take to shows, and befuddle all the 'experts' as to what it is.

"USA" was once reputed to be a location in Japan, specifically named as such so that Japanese products (which at the time had as poor a reputation as today's Chinese junk) could legally be labeled "made in USA".

Shoes, the tying thereof, is pretty well beyond the technical abilities of a growing sector of the populace.

Adults answer e-mail inquiries promptly, return funds if they can't deliver product, and realize "wishing" solves absolutely nothing. I tend to give any man a break if he's having problems and COMMUNICATES. But no communication, to hell with him.

Correctly answering math problems is required for any successful engineering to take place, and bizarrely is now seen as "oppression" in some of the more "progressive" circles of clown-world.

A pair of 5 watt, 10,000 ohm potentiometers, some black-oxide 4-40 countersunk socket-head capscrews, and a bunch of 6061 T6 aluminum 1/4 inch round rod. Pretty exciting, huh?

Proteoglycans be da tings proteoglys comes in.

"Taken for granted" isn't a feeling one who works hard and well particularly enjoys.

Yup, creative manipulation of tools and materials, with a goal in mind, but not driven by achieving the goal: the journey purely for the sake of the journey, not a rush to get somewhere so you can then rush to get somewhere else.

Today's Irk: the miraculous ability some folks have of denying objective reality. There seem to be a large number of people who can look in the mirror at this... ...and apparently see something like this... ...and it's not just what these people see in the mirror that has no similarity to anything observable by a rational mind.

"Youse" doesn't rhyme with "louse", though it looks like it otter.
