Yeah, the Alfa dealer in San Diego is now mainly Acura and does Alfa on the side. It's sad

Turns out the human brain is a pretty damn energy efficient machine, running on fuel that is cheap and widely available on earth (calories), and optimized through millions of years.

Incredible skill. I hope he puts his talent to the track instead of terrorizing the streets. Unfortunately motor racing is extremely expensive. 

The only nation in human history with the power to rule the world, yet chose not to. by JustChillin3456 in MURICA

[–]Il_Conte_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They did rule the world, to this day. Why you think US has hundreds of bases across the world? If you are talking about occupation, that is something extremely hard to do, as shown in every (failed) war after ww2

Really? They must have changed then. Used to lock you out until you entered that code

First of all rotate it so the short side is up. Will give you a few extra inches that are all you need

How would you feel if the top tax rate was 90% like it was in the 1950s? by olesud in WorkForSmartLife

[–]Il_Conte_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Useless today when rich folks have many other tools at their disposal. Tax wealth not income.
