Spandex is privilege, not a right and it should only be sold in women’s attire in nothing past a size 8.
My rule is, as long as it doesn't look like creamed corn in a garbage bag, it's acceptable. I hate to use this zoomer-terminology but the "thicc" crowd has some decent ones. Just sayin'. :)

Not the 2nd gear synchro crap? Notchiest damn 2nd gear I've ever had the displeasure of shifting into.

  • Ford's Powershift trans
  • The Central and Southern Florida Flood Control Project. They spent hundreds upon hundreds of millions of dollars building over 1k miles of canals, pumping stations, and levees. Then in '62 they started straightening the Kissimmee River. Wildlife vanished, water quality plummeted, and the Everglades started dying. Then, they decided what they did was wrong and started to fill the canals and make the river windy like it was before. The project still isn't done... Over 50 years and billions of dollars down the drain (pardon the pun).
  • The Mars Climate Orbiter - The program controlling the thrusters calculated the thrust in pounds where the trajectory program uses Newtons. Orbiter burned up in the atmosphere, over $300million gone.

Nah she's more of a science experiment gone wrong. Like when you leave leftovers in the fridge and forget about them for a while, then wonder who saved leftover stew when it was originally meatloaf or something.

wow, just wow, i can't fathom how that wasn't noticed. Its not like they are close at all. That puts the forces off by a factor of 4. It's not like it was just roundoff error.

why the heck was lockheed doing anything in caveman (imperial) units anyways?
