I am interested in who has drawn a weapon in defense of life or property. I'll start:
Summer of 2020 in Minneapolis. Shit was crazy. Cops were gone, as were most normies. The only people downtown were weirdos and criminals. I was leaving my office and as I came up to my parking gate a guy with...
NYT does a not all heroes wear capes treatment of government bureaucrats. I am sad that the Challenger O ring safety committee or the head of Tuskegee experiment study design did not make the cut.
What were your earliest auto memories that stirred your passion in cars? I will start. Setting the stage, as a kid in late 80s SoCal there was quite a variety of cool vehicles. CA is a car culture and this was the tail end of the Reagan boom, so there was a lot of money. There were not a lot of...
If you pay attention to this you will discover that there is a pandemic of fraud in medical research. It speaks to the quality of peer review when you can copy and paste images and no one notices.

Anyone following this? I do not remember this happening at all. Apparently a 747 exploded over the ocean with no explanation. There is a wrongful death suit alleging that the US accidently shot it down with a missile. Wild...

I found this a very interesting read. Barra was an HR hack that somehow levered this into the CEO seat. The value destruction at her hands since could not have been more effectively implemented by McKinsey...
It is that time of year when all of us get antsy with cabin fever and look to our garages as an outlet. Anyone have big mod plans?
On my ZL1 I am adding a 2650 and a bigger fuel pump. I already did port injection so it is plug and play. Also adding a lid to the new supercharger. This will take...
Yo - I am thinking of a new rider. 42 inch deck is probably best. Honing in on a Deere x350 or a Kubota. Any others I shoudl consider at ~5k price point? Thanks
Just got this from Home Depot. Anyone know what the fix is? I don't want to go without my mower if I do not have to.

I lost my dad a couple of weeks ago. It came as a shock. He was living in an apartment in a nursing home that I put him in with my Aunt, who I also take care of. She fell and ended up in the hospital and when I came to check on him a day later I found him curled up in a ball on the floor. He had...
The abrupt resignation of BP chief Bernard Looney marks the loss of an executive who pushed for a transition to clean energy more aggressively than any of his industry peers, with mixed results. BP said Tuesday that the 53-year-old chief executive officer was departing after failing to fully...
