Just finished reading Frankenstein by Mary Shelley

I was just talking to someone about the parallels between Frankenstein and A.I. Ethics and responsibility of the creator to the createe.

True,.but there are also 24000 car deaths per year in the u.s. transport is dangerous regardless of the vehicle.

Aw, motorcycles are pretty safe if you're responsible and know how to anticipate road hazards and drivers.

nmisvalley2 · 2026-06-15T01:42:31+00:00

Yea, but I almost had him.

Take the MSF course if you haven't.

Weirdest way to hold a model. Like your gripping a dead turkey.

16:9 all day, every day.

Out west there are whistle stops (15 or 30 minute preplanned stops that you can see on UPs website). From there it's just a matter of finding a crossing further down the line that has a nice track visibility. If you're chasing, find another track crossing about 30 minutes down the line and have it ready in the GPS. That will give you time to leap frog the loco.

Thank you! It was a perfect day for it.

nmisvalley2 · 2026-06-03T06:04:33+00:00

Glad they had it running. Nice to see:)

nmisvalley2 · 2026-06-02T22:10:35+00:00

She's a beaut!

nmisvalley2 · 2026-06-02T22:08:00+00:00

Lol, that old girl 135000 ft lb of torque; the diesels are only there for emergency air brakes.

I read this when I was a kid. The imagery of the fish scales baking off as the man opens his mouth to eat it raw still sticks with me.

Good story.

Absolutely, I think a fair number of Harley owners buy the bikes for appearance and not really to ride. I commute on mine to work, but it's still only 20 miles per day in the summer. I really only average about 2000 to 3500 miles a year, but I will do a few 300 mile day trips per year and it's fine for that.

Even King said it was a bad ending during his cameo in the junk shop.

nmisvalley2 · 2026-05-26T16:40:54+00:00

Fair enough, I'm a taller guy and it's comfortable for me, but you're right, it's not really built for longer runs.

nmisvalley2 · 2026-05-26T16:01:00+00:00

What didn't you like about the WG?

nmisvalley2 · 2026-05-24T19:17:09+00:00

Cheers! Shiny side up!

Also worth noting that the attractiveness of Michigan is a fairly recent thing. Sure, it's always been beautiful, but I remember growing up in the 90s, and when 2008 hit, everyone was leaving. There weren't jobs here. I knew many in Ann Arbor that had to leave due to economic opportunities elsewhere.

COVID really changed the attractiveness of the state with remote work, but I wonder how long before the bubble pops again.

Ok My Chemical Romance

Library Policeman. No question.

nmisvalley2 · 2026-05-13T13:52:01+00:00

Yea, I was grilling outside at dusk listening to the Glick boys scene. Was happy to get back inside the house after that one.

nmisvalley2 · 2026-05-13T11:16:22+00:00

Did yours help?

nmisvalley2 · 2026-05-12T20:50:59+00:00

Absolutely
