It’s defense! Of course with all that extra defense it’s easy to get offensive.

SqueezeInn, is that in Truckee?

she spoke in the language of her people. Like TFG.

She is an unfortunate expression of American values. You can never have enough X “for defense”. Think of what it will take to cut the CMIC down to size.

Ditto on thermal mass. I have a simple small rectangular box stove that was designed for mule camping. I’ve lined the bottom and sides with fire brick and it has a 4 gallon stainless water tank...

My daughters first car was a ‘97 Honda Accord wagon. That little car got a lot of use before it died. She sent me a picture with the back full of sheep.

How to make a shipping container blend in.

of those 1097 how many are deemed justifiable, negligent or criminal?

I can imagine my brother living in a place like that. Last I heard he was somewhere out in the desert.

I wouldn’t worry about it, look how Ukraine is turning out.

Gotta be able see above the truck bumpers. It’s weird how a succession of policies and cultural memes along with improvements in efficiency made small station wagons on big wheels more attractive...

That looks like winter all right. We have ice covered trees and shrubs here.

Unless the bully is us, our coalition of the contracted and allied countries then we do as we wish and the less powerful suffer. And because we collectively don’t suffer directly we will ok the next...

The elimination of the PriusV with the Rav4 supposedly covering its spot is a clue gas is still too cheap.

Scot, wishing you the best for whatever happens next. And apologies for my posts that required adult supervision on the forum.

anyone see a black cat run by?

The Saudi gummint like the US gummint assists its citizens overseas. The militant jihadism that is indigenous to Saudi Arabia, spread by petro dollars and partnered with by the US gov’t still does...

counterterrorism is not hegemonic warfare. There was less justification for invading Iraq than Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Those costly “lessons of Vietnam” were tragically sacrificed by Colin...

In moving my stuff around I had a plastic bin in a commercial space for a few years. Went to dig stuff out and and found a Mac lap top that was obviously heat damaged from a self destrucive event. ...

Invading Saudi Arabia would no more address Al Qaeda than invading Illinois would fix crime in Chicago. Al Qaeda and other militant jihadi aren’t agents of the Saudi Gov’t.

I’d like razzle dazzle camo on it

There was no “right country” to invade wrt counterterrorism against OBL and Al Qaeda. Military action to attack concentrations of Al Qaeda can be justified but willy nilly regime change violating...

The CIA’s NIE paper on Iraq’s “WMD and links to terrists” that Congress needed in order to make an informed vote on the AUMF came in just 72 hours before the vote. While flawed it had a slew of...

yeah and now 20 yrs later the hybrid version of that Toyota gets twice the mileage and more torque! That’s brilliant. What’s dumb is that 2002 Highlander was going into a market where fuel prices...

bad bike batteries

I’d still want the turbo AWD Maverick pickup.

had venison back strap last nightand too much chocolate, chocolate ice cream.

that’s better

according to wiki the base price is $343,000 in 2015 dollars. I bet with cigarette lighter, radio and tow missile accesories it adds up.

it looks a bit squished.

That’s ok, everyone won’t adopt EVs just as everyone can’t afford a new car. As time goes on and the biosphere gets cooked the cost of personal transportation will become greater with personal...

The Victoronix paring knives are good.

The Adventurer pocket knife is my favorite.

With optional dilithium thrusters and force field for intercontinental travel.

is it a combo data storage, nose hair clipper and spork?

the view of Powless on the descent is great. If you play Django Reinhardt in the background it’ll really pick yr mood up.

those are pics worth sharing

Nice light.
Niellsen Powless had just a 18 second lead before the decent but stretched it out descending.

I found one.

Aren’t aquifers being drained faster than any normal recharge rate?


https://www.latimes.com/environment/story/2022-12-22/groundwater-depletion-is-accelerating-in-the-central-valley

I think it certainly helps but I don’t think it addresses the Colorado river watershed, depletion of aquifers and general warming in the southwest.

So warm air hitting cold slab? Fan is all I can think of, or some kind of hard insulation on the concrete.

I’m wondering about the helicopter windshield up by the front bumper. I can see it would be neat to park a 1/2” from things but won’t you be looking at dirt and bugs most of the time?

I think he means sales in that year. Something to remember is that more used cars are purchased each year than new so what’s on the road in five years won’t look much different than now. Don’t...
