Pretty quiet in here. All you geezers on extended nap time? Nah...just returned from 5 days with the 996 in Big Bend (west Texas) country. Many insects got slaughtered, a few roadrunners got scared 5hitl3ss (fun fact, they CAN fly if their life depends on it), and many gallons of gasoline were turn...

Thanks, Billy. I was actually going for a vintage aviation vibe, but I suppose sprint car wing kits works, too. And thanks for the birthday wishes. I got my first Navy retirement paycheck last week, and have paid my last $2,200 per month family health insurance premium as of this month. Now that yo...

Actually, the event was over and a lot of people (including me) had left the rally area before the shooting occurred.

Now, let's figure out what to do between these two bookend events. Jeff -- I assume we each procure our ticke...

Calling that thing "UAF" is an insult to things that are only "UAF".

It's interesting that they put 3 QBs and one receiver in that graphic. It's not like Jared Goff is some kind of rummy just handing the ball off. Well...the three QBs included in the NFL's graphic are on their respective divisions' Pro Bowl Squads. For Detroit, it would've raised fewer questions if ...

Given how strained the power grid in Texas can become during really cold (or hot) weather, I think it behooves us to unplug all those stationary EVs whenever we spot them to protect power grid stability!
