Over 67 million views on that vid after 9 years, astounding!

I have been on a Cure kick the last few months myself. Was going to go see them when they came through town last year but the tickets were stupid expensive and the only "seats" available were grass field seats so far away you needed a telescope to see the band, so I passed. Good to know how...

Sadly for you and I this is not likely to be an optional thing for much longer unless we limit ourselves to used cars. We are hopelessly old-fashioned and the world is indifferent to our concerns.

I mentioned this a year and a half or so ago: I was driving through Maine and stopped at a small tourist railroad in a rural area. It was a weekday and there was one guy working there. He gave a me a tour and showed me a Ford Model T truck that had been converted to run on narrow gauge rails...

Long time ago I used to drive a 1979 VW Scirocco. It was a stick shift, electric nothing, with Bosch mechanical fuel injection. No AC, no cruise control, none of that stuff. Loved that car. Lost it when it got rear-ended while I was making a left in the driving rain one day. My truck has...

Not that I could find. Will find out soon enough. Interesting thing is I am driving a rental, a Nissan, with all the modern trimmings. My truck may be old, but my lord do I ever miss it. I feel this way whenever I travel somewhere and have to rent a modern car. Just give me my old truck...

Drum in the back. I dropped it off at the shop but since it's a weekend it may be a while before I hear the diagnosis. I could've taken it someplace faster and cheaper, but I decided scrimping on brakes is a dumb idea. And I can't do the work myself because I don't have a garage or a driveway...

General Motors standard stuff. Not sure what the deal was. Brake reservoir wasn't low, and the problem came on quick, not gradually over days like I've seen before. One minute everything was fine, next minute "Oh god, oh god, we're all gonna die?"

So my truck's brakes decided that rolling down the freeway at 70 mph was a good time to suddenly lose brake pressure. There's nothing like the thrill of putting your foot on the pedal and it sinks to the floor while you're in more than a ton of rolling steel and suddenly feel like you're just...

A "launch window" for a suborbital hop, hmm...

I think the US Navy has airfields configured to look like aircraft carrier flight decks for training use, complete with functional arresting gear. Pretty sure NAS Lakehurst in New Jersey has one (or used to, anyway). Maybe?

And US coal isn't doing so well either these days. West Virginia was always poor to begin with and coal was really the state's only big industry, so as that declines it results in high unemployment. Coal mines tend to be in rural areas and don't get replaced by newer industry.

Well, they're not robots. They're vehicles in vaguely humanoid or animal shapes, like the AT-AT or AT-ST from Star Wars. In fact, in looking at the source books and novels, I recall very few robots in the BTech universe for some reason.

This game looks really cool. As a sign of how out of the loop I am, I have no real grasp of what Steam is, and like Urwumpe, I have doubts as to the ability of my current machine to handle newer games, and with a house that needs a new roof, it'll be a while before I get to this. I was...

I've heard that most people die.

Do they come with a little screwdriver?

Ok, so you didn't hear or read this anywhere. It's just "expert" opinion.

Where did you hear this?

Tell them to use the panel to power a light fixture, which in turn will illuminate the panel. Simple.
