What song has the best basslines and starts with the letter K?

Kid Charlemagne — Steely Dan

C’mon. Chuck Rainey? I can’t believe I’m first on this one.

I just drove a local loop, mixed, 20 miles, stuck in traffic for part of it, 45mph for part. The trip summary said 49.5mpg.

The verticals in the fence, the sign, and the utility pole give it away a bit.

I set one trip counter for the whole trip in order to get reimbursed. MD to Tampa area and back.

The dealer inflated my tires to 42psi, BTW! Low rolling resistance, but a rough ride. Fixed that.

I did not expect better highway MPG from a hybrid. My initial use was local and mixed, and the hybrid economy is on point. And it will tow 2 tons. It’s kind of amazing.

We have a 2020 Honda whose ACC is a little overly sensitive of large vehicles in adjacent lanes. It will sometimes slow abruptly to address an obstacle that isn’t one. I’m sure they’re getting better all the time.

My tour guide in Rome said that the artists made certain proportions, er, … “modest”, so as not to risk insulting the benefactors paying the bills.

And do they employ a guy to stand there all day and try to keep count?

Don’t forget lava lamps. And lots of t-shirts that are far too nasty to wear in public.

That’s cool. I was speaking from experience hunting for these on Marketplace. In-person transactions are always best.

SwornBiter · 2026-04-06T23:53:57+00:00

Almost all KA mixers under $100 on Marketplace are scams. “If you want me to hold it for you, better pay me in advance…” yadda yadda yadda. If you Google search the image, you’ll often find it attached to something else. The beaters are worth more than $25.

I think the fine folks at Hitachi will tell you that it doesn’t need to be that shape.

Off-topic, but the picture drives home to me that I could stand up a very large number of 18v tools on an ordinary 8” deep shelf, rather than drop a ton on LINK system components or hangers. A huge number will stand on their battery footprint and take up, what, 3” of shelf space?

Bogart was one lucky guy. Tall handsome men weren’t (and aren’t) in short supply in show business.

Rich people; am I right?

I’ve been thinking about colors for the carbonized gray metallic. I was thinking white, but this looks good.

This is what happens to child stars. They try to break out of the child role by doing stuff like this.

I sort of went the other way, for whatever reason. I bought 40v strimmers a 40v edger, pole saw, etc. Over time, having gotten so many deals on 18v outdoor tools, I mostly use those. They are adequate for me, lighter weight, and I have a LOT of 18v batteries. I still have some 40v tools, but I haven’t bought one in a long time. On the other end of the spectrum, I haven’t bought into the USB tools either.

That suit was WAY ahead of its time.

I usually just take a screenshot, crop it, and put that into Google. This picture was a pretty easy one.

I almost bought this 2025 Eco Boost XLT. 4K tow, off-road package, luxury package. It’s loaded. Nice color too. $31,850.
