They might be, not the best and brightest, but could be their best and brightest.

The dumber ones would have delivered the harassment via no-knock warrant.

That is still unparalleled with CUDA.

I still don’t understand how an open source alternative with better hardware support hasn’t happened yet.

A whole bunch of the companies that boomed died though.

Anyone remember bigwords.com? Or pets.com?

Solid joke, but hard to pull off in person if you’re over 6 feet.

Sounds like NATO should name it “Stupid”

But really we should name all nuclear weapons Stupid anyway.

Are there any nuclear power plants in the US that aren’t?

Images of smoking Eastern European jalopy intensifies.

They were using pagers and walkie talkies to evade the cellphone tracking that the Israelis were already doing.

They wouldn’t have taken the cell phones.

As long as you don’t slowly walk or away from the burning building, you should be fine. IANAL

It’s actually a really impressive bit of engineering and craft. Making the doors work around the back wheel wells because of the extreme chassis shortening is difficult work.

Also the fuel tank, drive shaft, exhaust, brake lines, and wiring all had to be modified to work too. Even the parking brake would have had to be changed to keep working.

Unless it’s tin whiskers from the early lead free solder…

I fear that shit way more than I was ever worried about y2k bugs.

Until it gets cloudy, foggy, or even just a little hazy anyway.

The pictures of stacks of failed clutches in r/justrolledintotheshop were enough to convince me.

Ford had a habit of inventing new systems, but slapping them on the first couple model years of any vehicle before they seem ready.

My dad had a first-gen Explorer Sport Trac with many notorious problems. My favorite was that both inside back door handles broke off it was like being locked in a police car back there.

Sort of vaguely op-art. Or postmodern brutalist perhaps.

It could be a bit better thought out to improve readability and find a more pleasing interaction between the letter and logo elements, but it’s an interesting idea to explore further I think.

Hey now, you can burn yourself with compressive heating just fine down here on earth. Specifically by accidentally touching the pipe between the pump and tank on my air compressor the other day.

The Final Countdown starts quietly playing next.

The rapidly expanding co2 does get very cold though. It’s not any different from freezing things with compressed air cans.

I don’t hover, know which would absorb more heat per pound though. Someone who knows more math than I can do it though.

We need little zinc doggies to bolt to those spots for a sacrificial anode.

Or if humans are the cause, I guess little zinc dicks would be more appropriate.

The only time a cat ever pissed everywhere was when it was sick, and everywhere was all over my apartment.

We were cat sitting and I’m mildly allergic. It was definitely all hands on deck to clean that piss up, it was suffocatingly stinky.

FOIAing a backup of your lost website would be epic.

We also might be able to fill in some gaps in the internet archive that way someday.
