COVID around here is pretty lousy, but that didn’t stop me from printing this...now I’m printing 60% scale versions to hand out as ornaments. (Gnat, this was at medium quality in a cold room on a Gutenberg II - er, Replicator II - so cut me some slack)

Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.

Gone hunting with Alec Baldwin and Dick Cheney. Back soon.

Driving home yesterday, and there was absolute mayhem on the freeway. Turns out there was a medium-sized orange cone sitting partially in the right-hand lane, and people were swerving and braking like maniacs across three lanes of traffic like it was a box of puppies.

It's one cone.

And there's nobody keeping time.

Murder the f*****g thing!

Wow! Last time I saw that trick it was on the bottom of a bat in a baseball card picture.
