    Anyone who knows about engines will appreciate that we only had six months to develop a complete engine. We elected to go with a V-8, precisely because the V-8 was a great opportunity not to have to redesign a complete engine from scratch and instead take inspiration from our [Hyundai Motor Group's] existing WRC [World Rally Championship] engine, a very competitive 1.6-liter turbocharged inline-four that we've been using for several years. We took that engine and made it two times four in line, which gives us a V-8.

    Tecovas Trading Post is pretty handy to unload your old boots on unsuspecting souls. Just take pictures on your phone, they create the listing, and send you a shipping label when it sells. 
     

    Bought the pair for $295. Sold for $259 on Trading Post, and I keep $207.

    The narrative is that any cease fire would benefit Russia more than Ukraine, because Russia can rebuild reserves faster.  But is that true?  American aid is back on, the Europeans are spooling up, and Ukraine builds more and more of their own stuff.

    Sure Russia will have time to drag T34’s out of the tree row, up armor Lada’s and such but it really seems Ukrain has the edge here.  
     

    Or does this refer to Russia’s time to conscript more backwater hillbillies and Norks?

    methinks it's getting another few divisions of norks to the front. it's about to be mud season anyway so a short ceasefire probably doesn't change the front lines much over the next bit.

    I've listened to a few podcasts / watched documentaries, and octopi are fascinating creatures. They have 3 hearts and 9 brains - one in the head and each tentacle. They can squeeze through any hole that's bigger than their beak. They are the masters of disguise, able to shape shift, change color, change texture, and escape by swimming or running. Female octopi will stay with their eggs until they hatch, which in some cases take over a year.

    I've actually stopped eating them because I have a lot of respect for them... even though grilled octopus over charcoal with a splash of lemon juice is amazing.

     

    Octopus is Greek so the plural in English is either octopuses or octopodes (nuts). "Octopii" is a false latinization.

    Rogan is such a pussy. He's terrified of Sam and refuses to "have a conversation" with him because he know that Seder will absolutely demolish him with a barrage of facts and logic Rogan's baby brain doesn't understand. 

    Side note: Seder's appearance on Jubilee just dropped yesterday in which he politely and deftly humiliates 20 young Republicans. It's worth watching.

    I don't care.  My chickens give me 2-3 per day.

    I got one the other day. Sure, I'll probably need a dozen more for an omelette,but free is free.
