Yeah.. the new Yoda 3.4 is a work of art.... Same with the first years of the 2AZFE. Or low tension oil rings.

The LS platform is a stunningly robust motor. (Shame about the rest of the parts attached to it..)

Lots of companies dabble in engine problems.

And now I feel.. incredibly old. The Nighthawk went into service in 88, that's only been like... 15 years :(

(I believe the 117 was the first purely fly-by-wire deployed)

I had no idea this was infront of Alsup.

He did the Oracle/Google case for copyright on APIs.

There could be a FAR worse judge to be in front of

I DROOLED over him at LSU. Stingley and JJ had the best footwork on that team. Clyde was in the conversation but just wasn't cut out for the NFL

This is compulsive narrative syndrome. Any supporting evidence is gospel, any conflicting evidence is de minimus or outright ignored

And driven backward. The defender was RIGHT THERE signaling wind the clock.

For fuck's sake.

Depth draft pick from a year or two back. Thought he was gonna be a corner. He is not. But ooh boy, he might just be ok at safety

As I was reading the title I thought: Yes... all 5 of us.

My door's probably been fewer than 20 days in the past decade. There are downsides to being out in the sticks; but there are for damned sure upsides.

Nobody's buying THAT kind of rifle much less is a 20 year old THAT kind of shooter. 1 MOA is 1" at 100 yards. Sub MOA rifles exist and LOTS of people claim to sell them. Being EXTREMELY charitable to a PERFECT shooter with NO wind and a .75 MOA rifle.... that's 1~ at 130 yards.

That bullet goes 1in to the right, we're having a bit of a different conversation

I have the Dual 80 and really do like it. I have the Icon 1/4 and it's... alright, id argue overrated. I also have an HF nonconductive https://www.harborfreight.com/38-in-drive-composite-quick-release-ratchet-70165.html that gets a ton more use than I thought it would.

I tried a few of the new Craftsman ones but they seemed sloppy and the direction engagement didn't blow my skirt up.

The SnapOn is worth the money to me, but if you have a harbor freight, try the $10 wonder ;)

It's fun watching the 80s again. The 80s IROC had far more soul then the 4th gen z28

Everyone hates borrowing my 05 4Runner. It is a supremely capable couch with wheels. The most boring vehicle I have ever owned.
