Is there anything more "Burning Man" than taking something we've been doing for decades (A FOD walk), giving it a worse name, and bragging about it on some random blog? I mean, hats off, the author really did nail it. This is

Probably time to reinvent the license plate as a concept; or start spinning up LLC's to put the cars under and just each the extra insurance costs.

Too easy. You just mix all 16 together, chuck them into the machine, take cover, then walk out through the now exploded door/hole. Bonus points if you convince her to leave, and rig it up right above the door for when she comes back, h

It does seem that if next-gen GPS tech isn't already being tested/deployed then we've managed to already begin falling behind. GPS III just isn't anywhere near as useful in a non-permissive environment Also, I read somet

If you're in a hierarchical structure and someone higher up gives you an ultimatum, your choices are: comply, resist and face consequences, or find subversive, incremental ways to undermine it. None of those are cost-free. "Fighti

You're getting a lot of pushback, but this resonates with me. I guess I have a hard time understanding the value in a "noble departure" rather than just going down swinging. If a shark was eating me, I wouldn't say &quot

I like to save my resignations for the whole "you can't fire me, I quit" part - when the fall is all thats left, it matters a great deal.

Eh....cancelling a not very good design in 1959, well before most countries realized ground controlled interceptors were kind of a bad idea might be the real story here. The US (and the Soviets to a hilarious degree) went down the other pat

If I don't like how the dishwasher did, I just run it again. Either the plates are coming out clean, or I'm buying new plates.

Its abundantly clear that narrative is being driven. Its much less clear why, or by who.

lol no. Claude Pro gave me like, 20-40 questions every 12 hours before it would throttle, and half of those were mistakes we already corrected that it was trying to re-integrate. Plus Claude is always trying to censor itself. I got suckered

Look as long as they keep being this salty about authoritarianism when a guy with a different letter next to his name shows up and does it, I'm fine with it. My concern is that many won't.

Truly one of the greatest cars of its time, a snarling, cybernetic banshee that bent physics to its will; Now, just a fading watermark on the walls of history—a reminder of how high the tide once surged, before receding for good. We've

I feel like this argument could have legs, but I can also see some easy counter points depending on how you proceed with it. Thank you regardless, as this made me think for a bit.

For a machine that could invent time travel, it was impressively stupid.

I call it a tax because it is a government organized/run operation with the objective of removing wealth from individuals for (ostensibly) the betterment of the citizenry as a whole. My complaint is about the targeted nature of lotteri

Hard to say how this will actually go but as a vet, I've had some pretty poor experiences with the government support networks as a whole, and the VA is no exception; I know the VA has improved from the horror days of 03-06 but it cert

I get this vibe, but I also wonder roughly how much intentionality and thought went into hiring these folks in the first place? Kinda seems like when it comes time to hire they're mostly focused on "what can I get away with".

The lottery is a tax on people with poor judgement skills and I'm not comfortable with the state taking direct advantage of its vulnerable citizens.

I haven't been following this closely, but what was the appeal for Honda? I mean, Nissan has a few cars that are moving in OK numbers these days but I don't see many routes for a return to form over the long run; Commodity cars ar

Perhaps, but from my experience, everyone in downtown PDX circa ~2015 rode the max to some degree. I am the least public transit friendly person in the world and even I rode it and loved it.

Who hated on the MAX? Other than it being a cattle car pre-covid and shutting down at like 10 or 11 everyone I knew liked it; There were more and more issues with the homeless, sure, but I don't know many portlanders who'd admit t
