Two-Headed Ford Ranger Rally Truck Proves You Can Do a Lot With Three Days and $500
Oh, and don't forget the Sawzall. Downsizing your car collection isn't always easy. Even if your "collection" is filled with total junkers, it pains a person to get rid of their prized possessions, like a pair of extended-cab Ford Ranger pickups. Luckily, instead of selling or crushing them both, this guy decided to combine the two for a sick Gambler 500 build. That also works! One's red, one's purple, and together they make the most pointless but fun pickup ever to come out of Michigan. Yeah, I know that's where they make the Ram TRX—I said what I said. I bet if this thing had a bed, it could haul just as much as that Hellcat truck anyway.
Free Costco Samples Are Back, Baby
After a difficult 14-month hiatus, Costco is bringing back free samples. Once again, you can make a meal of complimentary Ritz crackers with proprietary cheese spread and free miniature hot dogs! Or, as I like to call them, “passed apps.” Starting this week, about 170 Costcos are bringing back the full sampling experience; by the end of the month, samples should be back in full swing at all 548 stores. “The first wave will actually determine how fast we roll out and what and when restrictions are lifted,” explained Costco’s chief financial officer, Richard Galanti, on an earnings call last week. Like a crocus in the springtime, it is a sign of hope. This time last year, Costco was discontinuing its sheet cakes to curb pandemic-era partying, and now, it is serving tiny wedges of free pie.

When you think about the Lamborghini Aventador, I imagine that one primary question pops into your mind: how well can it grill meat? Thankfully, this question seems to have been answered by one Aventador owner in China: poorly and expensively. The bold experiment that finally answered the Lambo-as-grille question took place in parking garage, where the Lambo in question was parked alongside Ferraris and other supercars.
You get what you pay for..........Or do you?
The Fabulous Mrs. Mis. Hum. and I only have one of our 3 daughters married off. But let me tell you, as frugal as I am, I will not book this musician for any of the other two if they get married.

I was sitting just about over the wing and as people walked down the aisle I could feel the floor deck flex. I'd never encountered that and didn't have time to ask because the flight landed late, had to go to a different terminal and I got to run through Sea Tac airport to make my next flight.

I was on a 727 where they had to rip open the deck floor to manually lower the landing gear because the hydraulics went out. Glad I was only 13 years old and thought it was cool. If I knew any better I should have been saying my prayers.

I know about that, the wings are supposed to flex. The floor was new and the other three aircraft on which I flew were the same model and didn't.

I went ahead and got myself a 15-buck Waterman fountain pen a few days ago.
Now the problem is, I want to make it a collection. So I went to Amazon and took a look at Montblanc pens. Good gravy!!! $550 for *one* pen??!! At least Cross had some nice colorful pens for decent prices.
Does Montblanc have anything under $100 even?

The 737's have been a long series of winners for Boeing. They have pushed the airframe about as far as they can with the MAX. I talked with my BiL about the floor flex issue. He's a certified accident investigator by the FAA, Navy and Marine Corps. He thought it may have been from the aircraft reaching its maximum cycle rate before a major overhaul.

The problem with the MAX is, they pushed the airframe TOO far. It should have been an entirely new airframe but that would have hurt marketing. Airlines like to buy what they already have so they don't have to spend big money to get their pilots qualified on a new type.

covered in orange Naugahyde and looks something you'd see a spaceman
laying on in a 50s movie. My grandparents had it in their basement for
years and would always yell at us to stop playing with it and running
the thing back and forth because it would wear out the motor but you

Cicero, I agree. The MAX is a stretch too far for the 737 airframe.
The two crashes of them is costing the Lazy B a vast amount of money. They are being delivered now, slowly, but they need to come up with something as a replacement . The 787 would fit that bill but I don't think they can build them fast enough.

We know what kind of surgery he is probably going to recommend - one of her classmates had the same surgery last year with excellent results. Unfortunately, Rebecca has "aged out" of the pediatric population, so we couldn't use the doctor that did her surgery.
Hip dysplasia is not uncommon in the Down syndrome population, and Rebecca has been in pain for over a year at this point. She NEVER complains about pain, so we know that she must really be hurting if she is talking about it.
Recovery is going to be interesting....

-----------
The problems were all connected. They needed the MCAS (a first for the 737) because the plane was aerodynamically unstable. It was aerodynamically unstable because the engine diameter was huge. The engines were so large that the had to be pushed forward on the wing, which caused the instability. The computer was supposed to mitigate the instability.
The original JT9 engines that the 737 was designed around had a diameter of about 50". The MAX engine had a 108" diameter.
That's why Boeing should have designed a new airframe instead of Mickey Mousing their current design with a poorly-engineered computer band-aid.

I was reminded today of the Danny Boyle movie, Yesterday. Ed Sheeran (as himself) is a major part of the movie. I wonder if he realized the irony in the movie plot that while he was the hottest pop star in the world, he was completely dwarfed by an average club singer playing Beetles songs.
Because that is pretty much where music is today, Ed Sheeran is the best you can get for the last 21 years and is totally inferior to music genres that spanned 5 to 8 years from 30, 40, and 50 years ago.

Ikea furniture is functional for what it costs and what it is. It's an apartment. Good/expensive furniture would be overkill. He would have less furniture, and if he ever gets a house he is going to want different furniture anyway (either because he is older or because the wife doesn't like the old furniture)
(Hint: even if the old furniture is perfectly wonderful, she wouldn't like it because she didn't pick it.)

When the Boston Celtics went public I bought 25 shares. The owners eventually bought back the stock and converted it to a bond but I still have the stock certificate. I think it's worth more as sports memorabilia than what I paid for the stock.
I also have stock certificate from some pharma company out of Oklahoma that my dad had purchased that went under. Barry Switzer was on the board and his signature is on the certificate. Might be worth a cup of coffee and a donut.

Printed on currency quality paper with awesome artwork. They were
originally my grandfather's. Poor purchases that never materialized
into anything... except art in a bathroom.

The cool thing about those is that they were almost certainly printed from master drawings. I can't cite a year but I caught the end of commercial art where type was hand drawn and guys hand painted glass door widows. Guy upstairs did airbrushed paintings of fruit for jelly jars.

I dumped my Disney stock when I learned, settled for a nice profit on it, and never looked back.
Add in Covid where all 6 parks, plus a profitable cruiseline business gets shut down (while they still have to pay for 2 new ships being build). Then they operate only 1 park at less than half capacity for a year.
They are in a very bad position. Arguing with KK about woke movie crap is not a distraction they can afford.

My guess, she was a kindly black lesbian who just wanted to teach the chilrens SCIENCE.
But the evil McH8ters in the village threw her girlfriend into a stove and told the chilrens that kindly McWitch eats chilrens!
Then the big reveal is that Hansel and Gretel are really the witch's girlfriend's kids, and in the end the three of them have to battle off an attack by the evil villagers.

Posted by: Van Halen at June 05, 2021 08:59 PM (uuj1Y)
The "no brown MandM's" clause in the Van Halen contracts with concert promoters were true. I thought for ever that it was just another David Lee Roth "eff you" move. Wrong.
I read about a year ago that their concert promoters would routinely ignore many different requirements spelled out. Logistics, hotel rooms, etc. Their manager got the idea to put in the "no brown MandM's" clause, with a massive penalty if not followed, so the promoters would actually read and execute on the contract correctly. The problems ceased for the most part after that.
And it wasn't a huge amount, only one big bag of MandM's was required. Something a junior assistant would take 5 minutes to finish.
The more you know.

Hollywood loves not writing new stuff. If they want supernatural buddy cop stories, they could reboot Automan from the 80s. One's a cop, the other is Tron. Or do a live-action version of the Cop Craft anime. One's a cop, the other's an elf wizard from a parallel world.

Apparently I spent 20 years here and at Insty establishing a deep cover only to be activated now to provoke conservatives into some gotcha quote for MNSBC (or the FBI, that part is confusing) to use to shut conservative sites down. SMH the paranoia has gotten ridiculous.
I sent her of ID, my email, my background, including my creation of Fen's Law, etc. to prove who I really was, but I'm not important enough to be treated fairly by her.
So I'm owning the nom de plume for the lolz. You gotta have a sense of humor about these things, or you go insane. And I'm pretty sure I'm already there, so...
But she saved me a ton of money that I would have spent on her and Correia's books LOL. I'm sure they're good writers, but now it's like when you can't enjoy Mark Ruffalo as The Hulk because without remembering that he called a Deplorable Nazi.
Anyways, not a big deal but you asked LOL

-Tolkien was a veteran of WWI, the Somme specifically. He lost most of his friends in the war.
-Pirate Martin 'missed' Vietnam.
-their fiction worldviews could not be more different. One would think that Tolkien's would be the darker, more nihilist (at least that is what modern culture would have us believe) instead, it merely reinforced his faith and through his writing, he seems to have hope. Martin, it seems from my read, is nothing but a twisted and empty piece of shit.
Strange. Adversity seems to breed stronger and better men. Whoda thunk?

This is an interesting idea though. To play Devil's advocate, it DID add an element of tragedy to the story and elevated the whole series, to my mind. The rest of the crap added on over time (ewoks, the prequels) cannot dispel that it set up a lot of things that were thought provoking. The whole fight in the second Death Star is the best part of Return of the Jedi. I think the Twist was a good one, it is what they did after that that was crap.

Yup, I don't blame him for hopping on the Fame Train and doing the talk shows when GoT was ascendant, but his laziness is the reason Season 7 & 8 were so disappointing.

Some of the sockets are actually installed upside down, and the stairway and hallway fixtures short out one light bulb about every 3 days. I think it's a competition.
About 10 years ago neighbors 5 doors down left town and had their Russian(?) parents watch the place. The proceeded to light up and oil cooker on the wooden balcony and throw frozen rice balls in. Place went up like the Sept of Baelor. Looking back I realize what a wise move that was.

As to the twist, think back to the scene in the first movie where Obi-Wan is relating the story of Luke's father to him and giving him his lightsaber. "I have something here for you. Your father wanted you to have this when you were old enough, but your uncle wouldn't allow it. He feared you might follow old Obi-Wan on some damn fool idealistic crusade like your father did. It's your father's lightsaber."
Now think about the reveal in ESB. "From a certain point of view" my behind.

By the same token, I am pretty sure that the twist was not thought of in Star Wars, but something always struck me on subsequent viewings of Star Wars.
It comes from Guiness' performance there. When Luke asks about his father, Obi-Wan looks... uncomfortable, almost guilty. It may just be me, but it jives with what he is saying is not the whole truth.

It occurred to me that Cushing was better as a righteous hero than a villain, even though it was beneath the surface and he was a damn good villain. Not a villain first, and this is why there were versions of Tarkin in the new movies that didn't hit the mark so much.
I said I might sculpt a 12" figure of Cushing Van Helsing, but my desk hasn't arrived yet. It was supposed to come today. Blender might be more detailed. I was handy at Z Brush years ago.
