    I saw those rough RV photos; you look like a new, much healthier, person. Good for you, keep it up.

    He was a USAF attorney stationed at Rhein Main in the 80s Cold War. My mom was his court reporter, referenced in the Lindsay Graham thread. He’s old school.

    Really enjoying this show. Re: people leaving the Silo and dying. I don’t buy it. It seems too simple and straightforward for a show that isn’t. Also, why would a Rashida Jones actress sign on for one off episode? I know it happens all the time, but my spidey sense says we see her again.

    Yeah, probably. Fucking depressing what’s become of them.

    JFC. I need another descriptor for politicians like Paxton, Trump et al. The absolute lying nonsense to keep power while breaking laws and inflicting damage on the state and country is infuriating to a point where ‘vile asshole’ doesn’t really cover it.

    TNT after game back and forth is more entertaining than the game. Barkley and Shaq discussing being schooled by Moses and Erving was great.

    Some really good ones on this thread. The Sweet Hereafter always stuck out to me. Fitting end to a heartbreaking movie.

    You’re not fucking around. Inspirational my man. Godspeed.

    @Biff Tannen So what’s the plan for San Jacinto? Some weather recently came through likely stopping the melt off, maybe made it worse.

    Apparently time really can be a flat circle. My preferred regional bank/construction lender was seized by the FDIC in 2009, then sold to PacWest. Without prior notice, they promptly sued me to enforce a 7 figure construction loan guarantee. So ... fuck 'em. However after some feisty litigation, they were reasonable during settlement negotiations. So ... fuck 'em, but use lube.

    Keep it up man looks great.

    Yeah I have a strange reaction to this price drop; I don’t give a shit. I bought the Y in 11/22 after a year wait list. I drive a lot for business and gave the price drop a shrug. I love the fucker. It’s just comforting to drive, with the added benefit of ridiculously strong torque whenever needed. It’s odd since I’m an avid gas guzzler owner. But I have no allegiance to it like I do my combustion cars; it’s a disposable thing that serves a current purpose. tl;dr don’t buy it as an asset

    Classic Car thread

    Not usually a red car fan but that burgundy looks badass. Need photos in the sun when you get it on the road, I bet it really pops.

    Can’t recall if I bought this as a kid in 1970s El Paso or my mom. Nevertheless my hair was also feathered back like the wings of a majestic bird.

    Classic Car thread

    Thread has taken a turn into the tiny euro convertible lane - I'll join with an update on the TR6. My son and I upgraded the suspension, brakes and steering, so we moved on to the wiring harness. Engine bay was straightforward, despite the PO making a mess Inside dash also pretty easy, just need to label everything This is what awaits us under the dash this weekend - not great Bob Plan is to ship it off for paint after full removal. Wife wants British Racing Green. OK, we like British Racing Green. Once it's back we get to open this box. I'm afraid to look ... however it's reportedly a brand new modern wiring harness. Removal of said harness is one thing, installation quite another. I'll use the interim painting period to ponder under the tree of woe, and ask the universe why I've chosen that task.

    This was my thought. I like @Brandywine take as well. Regardless it’s not the murder weapon (imo). One of the better shows on television right now.
  17. Mach 1
    It was entertaining. The interviews didn’t distract from the show imo. However the rest of your critique matches how I felt. Meh. I wanted to like it a lot more than I did, nostalgia and all that. Ultimately I didn’t buy the interpersonal tension that was the crux of the show.

    Whatcha reading?

    Mach 1 replied to DocZaius's topic in Books

    Recently finished this after listening to Dan Carlin's Supernova in the East podcast. The details of his war are intense and heartbreaking. Just fucking horrible stuff. His final paragraph was kind of a shock: "Until the millenium arrives and countries cease trying to enslave others, it will be necessary to accept one's responsibility and to be willing to make sacrifices for one's country - as my comrades did." He looked forward and thought the future held a better world, that insane actions by evil madmen and war-like countries would end. Wrong; I suppose it's the only way to sanely carry on with his life after what he experienced.

    Damn dude, that is one helluva personal challenge. Good for you, jealous. Can you go into some more details on your first stage plan, miles per day, sleeping spots. Every time I drive through Palm Springs I scan the hillside north of I-10 searching for the trail line. Fascinates me.

    Motherfucker. Vaccinated, boosted, three years of negative results and BAM, get run over by a bus. Covid put me in bed four days with the worst flu symptoms I can recall. I was a little cocky, thought I was impervious. Yeah, no. If they recommend getting a yearly dose here forward I’ll be first in line. Fuck this.

    Like most I'm enjoying the show. My kids played the game and they think it's really well done. A little preface: my wife went a little crazy over Rona buying a bunch of health foods/supplements, Super Green this, Matcha that. I was hungry this morning so I dug around the cupboard and found a bunch of health food type breakfast bars. Pulled out an "Energy" bar and was ready to chow when I read the ingredients: Yeah, I think I'll pass.

    I think you’re good. Probably just see her ass and maybe side tit, which is probably still respectable.

    I’ve found myself smiling through at least 50% of this show. Involuntarily, just reaction. Can’t recall any other show I’ve reacted that way. I’m also intrigued by the bespoke liquor cabinet in the back of his rig. Might be a future birthday request.
