The best part of working the restaurant beat in the late 00s was traveling all over the country and getting to eat all this amazing food. The worst part was realizing that a whole hell of a lot of those "famous" chefs were odious pieces of shit after interviewing them for like 4 minutes

I'm sorry ma'am, but your son perished on Kharg Island in a valiant effort to create Wii Bowling meme videos for the White House X account. In the face of danger, he was not cringe; he was based to his last breath. Please have this commemorative Epic Fury challenge coin. Yes that's Punisher, ma'am

“What are the lessons from the Parisian revolution?

First, pushing out cars improves life for most inhabitants.

Lesson 2 is that banishing cars doesn’t hurt an urban economy.

Lesson 3: car-free cities must offer people good alternative ways to travel. Paris itself does.”

I drove the clarity EV. It was “fine” as a compliance car but made no sense really as something someone would buy.

Strait of Hormuz problem solved with a rollercoaster for the tankers. 

A illustrated map of the strait of Hormuz with a rollercoaster colete with three tankers on it serving as a solution to moving oil from one side of the striat to the other.

Can this be a solution?

I refuse to see him in concert, and instead, I see some of the wonderful Smith tribute bands playing shows in the Bay Area.

Like my friends, This Charming Band. They're great and kind.

I was a Smiths and Morrissey super fan for years (decades). My screen name is a Smiths reference.

No one has burned more goodwill by being a dick while constantly whining about being canceled and losing a court cases from like 20 years ago.

Morrissey is fucking pitiful and should go away.

I'm not a boat guy. A boat person will know more about this than me...

But, if they sink a bunch of tankers in addition to the minelayers, won't those be super hard to move to make room for tankers in addition to dealing with mines and missiles in the Strait of Hormuz
