Chicken and Sausage Gumbo Enjoyer

Not that it’s a contest, but how many cylinders and horsepower are in your driveway?

Vehicles; motorcycles and DOT road cars. 0/$NUM is acceptable as well.

Bonus: usual weekly miles.

27, ~1380, ~80

🍆

I know it’s coarse, but it’s how I feel.

You know that feeling where you realize you just had an semi-autonomic reaction to a picture, like a quick inhale of breath?

Yeah. That. You should get this.

A real commitment to the cause on 101 today.

There are about 800 horses in this picture. One is named M5, and the other one is named LX570.

We have just started getting spill over here. The next 72 hours looks very cold and fluffy.

You’re the best.

A snippet of a dialog box from the Internet Wayback machine that reads: “ Sorry: This URL has been excluded from the wayback machine”.

Covering their tracks perhaps.

Talking about Newsom all the time sure beats doing anything about the current situation, as it gets worse every day.

Magicians do it to entertain; it’s simply sleight of hand.

It’s a bit exciting up here near Reno as well; I hope the rain comes on shore and falls more slowly in the southland.

RAM will build something special while ignoring reliability and QA issues simply to throw the largest possible ”fuck you” at people that most RAM owners hate.

See also the TRX, the worst bits of everything Stellantis could think of, all rolling at 9mpg and utterly useless.

1000000000%. The jury is out on it being poisonous to yellow metals, but there is no extreme pressure or heat in the parts of a brake system that could benefit from this compound.

it works well in engine and gear oils.

This Amazon ad shows a brand of brake fluid that does not contain any molybdenum, noting that it contains molybdenum sulfide. Brake caliper lubrication may contain this compound, but brake fluid absolutely does not.

Car folks: can you pick out where Amazon’s AI-powered inventory widgets are polluting product listings?

This SUV is Teddy Roosevelt.

100 million years of shoving stuff underneath the edge of the continent shows up around here too.

Square timber shoring was invented here, in part because the ground in the Virginia range isn’t very cohesive. There used to be Ponderosa from one forests here that are all underground now.

I just don’t know about that. The smartest companies in the Bay Area simply bought a bunch of buses and drove their employees to work. I haven’t seen a spreadsheet, but I bet that’s cheaper than digging a 20 mile tunnel through some of the most decrepit rock on the continent.

Boring just got a $50k check from credulous Northern Nevadans to see if Elon’s joke company could manage a tunnel under a geothermal vein To shorten the commute to the industrial park Tesla is part of.

They can’t even handle drilling mud.

Boring machines use fluids very similar to drilling mud that’s used in petrochemical drilling.

Drilling mud is extremely caustic and causes contact burns. The mud lubricates and moves debris away from the cutterhead.

“I’m concerned that breaking the law and breaking the rules has essentially just become a cost of doing business for companies in Musk’s orbit.”

that is literally the entire deal with Elon Musk companies, Rep Howard Watts D-Las Vegas

Sigh.

You love to see it.

This has been one of my main complaints about LLMs; they're fundamentally flawed and no amount of band-aiding will fix that fact.

They have uses but if you need to trust the output choose something else (maybe a human‽).

Yeah, they employ PMs for all kinds of stuff they do, and they did give money as grants through various programs. It was also a way to write off a lot of their security planning for personal use.

My ex couldn’t shut up about the shit Mark and Pricilla were building into their compound in Hawaii.

Which I guess is what their nonprofit does? Who knows.

The quote here is from someone talking about tech bros trying to maximize AI agent productivity, and.

I would add that the metaphor of "whips" driving "labor" suggests power over a VERY specific sort of body that is subjugated under a VERY specific system of labor

SF is such a cooked place. The Mission used to be home to a massive Latine diaspora. And now it's filled with people who speak like this.

Heartily concur.

if you're an older person who finds words like mogg and maxxing annoying, just starting using them. people over the age of 30 have the superpower to end trends by simply adopting them

I have no special animus toward any brand of truck. I figure anyone who wants to reuse the joke will insert their second least favorite truck maker into the punch line.

I have experience in that task and it is thoroughly difficult; the QA after transitioning to Rust alone was epic.
