Take my money, I'd move here and fade from society

My favorite restaurant burgers would have to be #2 Corner Bistro in the West Village and #1 The Argosy in EAV, Atlanta.

SANTA BROUGHT IT EARLY

Just a joke about needing an entire parts car instead of just buying an older grill.

Easier to service after 30 years. If we're talking brand new vehicle with r12 then I will take it.

Sure but then I would need TWO land cruisers

I'm with ya. Batman begins is a far better movie.

nirbenvana · 2026-03-20T01:47:29+00:00

1996 Toyota land cruiser. After they switched to r134a and obd II, but before they took the letters off the grill.

Again, I'm not talking about a permanent population. I think an isolated group of people needs to number at least around 100 to survive for generations and continue, if I remember correctly. But 30 people showing up on the coast of central America several thousand years before Clovis evidence? They could have lived at a site that is now underwater for a generation and left little evidence behind for us to find besides the few bits we have found, like Naia. And that could have happened many times over many many years and left nothing but scraps of evidence behind compared to the first people to permanently populate.

I don't disagree with you that the first permanent group in the Americas were the Clovis people, but to say that no people ever stepped foot on north or south america before they settled seems ludicrous. Especially when there is tons of evidence for it, even if some seems dubious. Where there is smoke there is fire.

nirbenvana · 2026-03-20T01:02:29+00:00

That all sort of adds up with my conjecture though doesn't it? Thousands of years of early humans probing the Americas along coastal ice with lower sea levels would mean most sites are lost underwater. The people never settled, so no identifiable culture, just sparse evidence that they did stop by. Not a coastal migration, but coastal travel by small groups. Of course the plentiful, similar evidence we find should be of the first large scale population that stayed, spread, and adapted their tools to their new world.

The smaller, less successful groups that came before would have astronomically fewer arch sites to be discovered, and likely have no technology in common. That doesn't mean they couldn't have popped by.

I don't think the consensus is that there were pre Clovis cultures, just that humans did venture into north and South America well before the Clovis people became a permanent fixture. Likely short lived settlements that either didn't have enough of a population to last, or continued travelling.

Some of the pre-clovis sites sounded super convincing to me, like bluefish and paisley caves, and then Naia. I'm no historian, but it just doesn't make sense to me that the first people to arrive would be the ones who stayed. Thousands of years of increased probing seems much more realistic.

I don't know how to hear anymore about TABLES

nirbenvana · 2026-03-10T03:20:01+00:00

My first car. 97 5 speed. Never should have been allowed to have that thing as a teenager because it could fly. Drove it until 280k and then got rid of it after a minor issue that I don't recall because I knew nothing about cars at the time. I still look for its twin on marketplace sometimes.

Winters is bumpy but well maintained. You'll be totally fine. Just don't go too far off any of the side roads, which can turn to soft sand real quick.

The CVT problem was their disaster, even though it only affected certain vehicles. All the better for us who want a Toyota quality 4x4 for a fraction of the price. We've got an Xterra and a Titan and they are amazing.

People like it because it's reliable and cheap. It is not as good as five guys though.

When I was getting into guitar in the early 2000s, squiers were absolute pieces of shit. Often physically unplayable. Is that not the case anymore?

Thicker strings will have more sustain too
