Japanese cars are superior to American cars
I had a high school friend who went on to become an engineer at General Motors. One of his first projects for them was tearing down an Infiniti and a Lexus when those cars first came on the market. He said that at the time, GM cars typically had between 300 and 400 production defects of varying severity. When they took apart the Infiniti, they found 2 production defects; when they took apart the Lexus, they found 0.
Random tea story: I travelled in India a few … shit, decades ago. On one of my train trips there was this one guy selling tea from a big urn. Usually these guys jump on at a station, sell cups of tea or coffee to whoever wants it, then they jump off at the next station; they can’t sell tea or coffee in more than one car because the passageways between cars are usually kept locked.
This one guy walked up and down the aisle selling a few cups, then he went to the door (the car doors that people use to get on or off the train are usually kept open or they’re not even there) and while holding his urn in one hand grabbed the vertical handrail on the outside of the door with his other hand, swung himself out into space (this while the train was moving at full speed), grabbed the handrail of the next car and swung himself in. He did this just so he could sell a few more cups of tea before we reached the next station.
People tend not to believe me when I tell this story, but there are a bunch of Youtube videos from India showing people doing even crazier shit than this on trains. For me, it just tends to make me not sweat the tea rings underneath my cup.
you will be limited by the gasses in the atmosphere
Lol if you’re going to abandon the round earth theory, you might as well dump the concept of an atmosphere, too.
Any nation on Earth, if they had nuclear weapons, could put them in shipping containers and mail them to any target they wanted.

I don’t know how they did it
This is one of the dangers of having a corrupt government in the modern world that is openly for sale. Conservatives might think it’s fine that money can and should influence politicians, but they’re dead quiet about the fact that the money doesn’t have to only come from American sources.
I used to play Civ III a lot and one of my favorite strategies was to borrow a bunch of money from a neighbor and then attack and destroy him, which would of course wipe away the debt with the only consequence being that everybody else hated you. It was amusing to learn that this was actually Hitler’s strategy with his invasion of the Soviet Union (minus the “destroy him” part, of course). Part of the nonaggression treaties between Germany and the USSR was actually a massive loan to Hitler, adding to the debt that Hitler had already racked up to achieve his “economic miracle”.
I always thought Trump could curtail democratic elections without the excuse of war … by relying on a convenient terrorist attack instead.
I dunno, maybe Nugent did it, too. He’s not exactly an original.
FWIW classic rock often wasn’t just about sex - it was about sex with 14-year-old girls. And often the same 14-year-old girl.
Nothing, however, can possibly top Steven Tyler of Aerosmith becoming the legal guardian of the underage girl he was fucking so he could bring her on tour with him.
Not to judge, but that “crowd” looks a bit, uh, frumpy.
He knew the secrets: blame your tools and be the same religion as your bosses. He was also, to his credit, a fantastic softball player, which helped the company team win the championship every year.
Hugo Boss would like a word with you.
The thing with puppets is that once one of them wears out you just replace it with a new puppet.
US politics is just reality TV at this point and that’s why Donny is president: because the only thing he was ever really successful at in life was being a reality TV character.
I only glimpsed it on the news channels on the TVs at the gym yesterday. It’s interesting that it was originally hyped as a birthday parade for him, but all the clips on the news were labeling it as a parade to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the army. I guess the birthday parade shit didn’t poll well with anybody.
Also pretty hilarious that nobody really celebrates the 250th anniversary of anything.
Yeah, seven creams at least!
Where did I say yellowjackets were bees?
They already like to have fun by attacking sailboats. Orcas are comrades!
Butler was (will be?) right!
