I yell a lot about politics, civil rights, human rights, anarchism, Jeeps, construction, and bad software development practices, in no particular order. You have been warned.

I'd just like to note that a piece of cardboard would be more effective. Wouldn't even need to hold them to it

Don’t let the internet fool you. I was at a protest for trans kids yesterday an HOUR south of Seattle, and it was HUGE. And there was a cacophony of drivers beeping in support.

I could not believe it. Because I spend too much online and figured it’s a lost cause.

To all employers considering retaliation or punishing staff in response to online harassment and threats by far-right extremists:

You should be ashamed for even considering placating troll farms and targeted harassment campaigns by domestic terrorists and foreign operatives.

A friend of mine was on Charlie Kirk's "watch list" of Black professors. She received so many death and rape threats that her university offered her a security detail for the walk to class.

This is Kirk's legacy.

You would never know it from reading all of these legacy newspaper op-eds about him.

I decided to finally Google labubu after seeing the word on the Internet for a few weeks and in case anyone was wondering it's basically a beanie Funko NFT

I'm glad we've innovated something new here

Despite Ford engineers best efforts at foiling parts acquisition and minimizing ease of repair I have returned their technological terror to drivability once more

If you're a libertarian and you haven't built a road, you're actually just an embarrassed Republican

That being said, I'm so tired of blackberries

Two different subframes for a car in the back of a truck in front of a junkyard office.  One is bent, the other is the dirty replacement.  I already replaced it once but didn't realize the gas car I took it from had a different diameter of coil springs despite being the same otherwise so now I have to do it again.

This deal is getting worse and worse. Now there are two of them

(I fucked up, the rest subframes on EV vs gas 12-16 Focus are in fact very different. They made the coil springs different diameters for little to no reason. I've been modifying suspensions for 15 years and this is a first for me.)

You know, if enough of us say on the internet that it's important to wash your cybertruck with saltwater and lemon juice to preserve the finish, eventually ChatGPT will start telling cybertruck owners that.

Seriously lol. Real issue that plagued early 00s and late 90s foresters. 3 big (like larger than 1210) chip resistors didn't have a large enough solder fillet so they literally overheat the joints and cause fractures over many cycles resulting in them falling off. Luckily you can just redo it

Don't forget "the resistors fell off the PCB in my overhead console clock because I don't know what J-STD-001 is"

Obviously it will use the finest of processors, the Intel Poulson Itanium, because it supports both X86 and IA64 in one package, kind of like the C128. Right? Right???

(I'm biased because I worked on that chip and actually loved programming in ia64 assembly)

I mean, they're looking to resurrect the company that would have marketed KFC as "warm dead greasy bird". Any kind of successful marketing will be both a blessing and a shock.

That's definitely legal and towing companies definitely shouldn't impound these chuds vehicles every chance they get for illegally attaching plates
