@Jolly said in I got yer electric vehicle right here.: Rumor is GM was the one who killed it. I've read several stories about how the auto industry, not only GM, was heavily invested in killing public transportation. Wouldn't surprise me at all.

@Axtremus said in This picture got me thinking: @Jolly said in This picture got me thinking: Candid vs. Posed. 1956, cameras were few and far in between. Subjects are seasoned public personalities very aware of being the focus of attention wherever they go and always had handlers/bodyguards around them. Never truly "candid". You can’t have it both ways. On one hand you say cameras and pictures of celebrities were rare and on the other you say celebrities were always prepared for photos…

@LuFins-Dad said in Secret Codes in a 1855 Newspaper: @Aqua-Letifer said in Secret Codes in a 1855 Newspaper: @LuFins-Dad said in Secret Codes in a 1855 Newspaper: @Aqua-Letifer is it “A 1885” or “An 1885”? If it's a date (eighteen eighty-five), "an." If it's a number (one thousand eight hundred eighty five), "a." Based on phonetics? The year eighteen eighty-five starts with the phonetic long A. The number one thousand phonetically starts with a W consonant sound? Yep! English doesn't have nearly as many phonetic rules as others—French has plenty—but this is one of them.

You guys have never ridden through/been to Mississippi. That makes Alabama look like the fucking Hamptons.

If you fly into a cloud you take a 180 degree turn and climb. Right now.

Maybe not in NYC, not so much other places.... In FL they get a pension and retirement healthcare they would unlikely be able to match in the private sector Maybe not. But what about the public sector? Florida has about 245,000 public employees.

@Axtremus said in Why so slow?: I have been observing seemingly random slow-down on this website going back almost a year now. I still have not figure out what is causing it. Generally Democrats are to blame for annoying things. Have you looked into the possibility that it’s Democrats? Or are you too biased?

About the bear going around and looking at the backside of the mirror: I had a cat once who did that with a television! LOL.

I’m just glad it wasn’t Florida man this time.

@Jolly said in If electric cars have to pay road taxes...: Secondly, don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining. You know very well the government has the right to license bicycles and they have the right to make some of them or all of them pay a road use tax. True or false? No fucking equivocations or coulda, woulda, shoulda, just a simple yes or no is sufficient. Show us the principled argument for taxing bicycles on public thoroughfares that wouldn’t apply to pedestrians using streets and sidewalks.

RIP Tony Dow for realz this time.

I dont see that being built and of course, the artist drawings are a "best case" viewing, but it does look cool.

I ran through a half box of 3" mags in the Franchi this past week, then cleaned her up. Have gun. Will travel.

If I hark waaay back, I'd still have to say the funniest movie I ever saw was A Shot In The Dark with Peter Sellers.

I call BS. They’ll be back once the Ukraine thing is settled.
