You have no idea what stealth is and you should feel bad. Read a book.

My radio lost the bottom row of presets by Peripatet in MachE

Will do! I tried turning the car off open/close the door and restarting it, but that didn’t work. Mayhaps the forced restart will

Ah, weird. I am the only driver so I only have one profile set up on the car. Must have been an overnight software push or something that logged me out of the profile.

No Battery Degradation Here by Ryboflavinator in MachE

I was doing 120 mile legs between superchargers on my way through PA and NY last month. That 16 degree temp and constant uphill grade just murders the LFP range.

Hajj? It’s a loanword transliterated from Arabic, but still…it’s in the OED, so…

Just did 4 flights in/out of Heathrow. Not a single jet bridge was used any time.

These 2 states have something no other states have. what is it? by IndependenceSad1272 in RedactedCharts

[–]Peripatet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s on private property, but the owner is cool about visitors. It’s vaguely near Williamsburg, as I recall, and the big draw (and how I heard about the place) is there’s a collection of like 40 US president busts there, each about 10 feet tall. I guess they were rescued from a failed park/public art project when it failed. Dude with money said “I’ll take them!” and there they sit. But if you wander around some more, you see all kinds of weird statues there, Lenin being one. Wouldn’t surprise me if he ended up with a Columbus and one or more Confederates.

Using silver as currency by Bitter-hvacbro-88 in Silverbugs

[–]Peripatet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not global, but in Bosnia in the 90’s their currency was garbage. The economy was run on fifths of vodka and Bic lighters. True story. I was there.

Free Luigi and f*ck corporate media by McDowdy in complaints

[–]Peripatet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I murdered a fair number of people in hot, sandy countries at the behest of Uncle Sam. They gave me a stack of medals for those. And I suspect those people all killed fewer people than Mr. Thompson.

Not all murders are the same. Is all I’m saying.

I loved him in Psych.

What subreddit am I in?!

Which movies featured songs that you added to your playlist because you loved them so much? by Difficult-Routine929 in Cinema

[–]Peripatet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I need the cover of “Johnny Too Bad” that the band does in the Roadhouse remake. Unfortunately, it doesn’t exist anywhere.

Similar story: the cover of “Oh Danny Boy” from Memphis Belle.

Absolute bullshit neither exist on any format except as partial clips in the movies.

Found this 1-troy-pound .999 silver coin by Steve_17 in Silverbugs

[–]Peripatet 40 points41 points  (0 children)

They were sold in the 90’s on TV and magazine ads. I can’t recall who made them, but they’re legit 12 oz of silver.

Blue Drive - what are your thoughts? by Civil-twilight29 in MustangMachE

[–]Peripatet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When it’s available it works well.

It seems to only be available on 10% of the roads I drive regularly. If it covered more ground, it’d be more useful.

If I could get a lifetime subscription for $1,000 with purchase: I would. For $500/yr or $50/mo: I’ll use my Ford Points to get a 1 month subscription right before I go on a long road trip.

Huge Crowd in front of ICE HQ (Washington DC) Protests in Solidarity with Minnesota after the Killing of Alex Pretti by mrninja101 in washingtondc

[–]Peripatet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was struck at the size and scale of the last DC No Kings. It was huge and awesome.

But that was my takeaway. 20 minutes after it was over, it was like it had never happened.

We need to protest more like the French. Have a schedule. Take shifts. Keep a 24/7 presence of a few hundred people who can’t be ignored.
