This is the most perfect beach I’ve ever been to. Perfect sand perfect water not crowded and the perfect temperature

@dustyslay @historyrock_ What does "greatest guitarist" even mean anyway? Some on that list are innovators, but some just wrote catchy licks and anyone that has played for 10 yrs or more can play as well as they do. What did Keith Richards innovate? Clapton? These lists get me frustrated lol

@CuriosityonX I mean, Curiosity should've picked something a little more eye-catching like a lagoon or a mountain lake with the local flora and fauna or Matt Damon.

100 years ago, this photo would have ended every newspaper headline on Earth. Today it'll get scrolled past in 2 seconds. This is a photograph of Mars. Taken today. 140 million miles away from us.

A lot of people ask about how Trans Am hood birds were installed at the plant. Back in 2021 an interview was conducted of an ex-plant worker who had the job of installing hood birds at the Van Nuys plant, An article was written for Smoke Signals magazine. The GM plants were cranking out 58 cars/hour at the peak of F-body production, so installers at each station had just about 58 seconds of actual working time to complete their task. When Van Nuys first started building Firebirds, decal installation was done as the cars were emerging from the paint curing ovens. Jon said the sheet metal was so hot they had to douse the car with three 5-gallon buckets of water just to be able to touch the surface. Even so, the water evaporated so quickly the decal immediately fused itself to the hood wherever it touched, so the defect rate was over 50%. They eventually moved the decal installation operation further down line just before the doghouse was installed. Workers pulled a hood off the overhead conveyor, set it on a jig attached to a turntable that allowed them to spin the hood 360 degrees while using a squeegee to displace air and water trapped under the decal. Once the decal installation was complete, the hood was hung back on the conveyor hook (in the same spot) where it would remain in proper production sequence to be mated with the car for which it was intended. The photo shown here was taken at this stage.

@dustyslay @Mericamemed No one wants to just sit there and drink. That means you have a problem. Drinking with an activity is just being a guy.

Let’s play a game. Last week I was walking down the road in Redwood City, and it looks like someone lost their brand new control arm. Can anyone identify what it goes to?

@Keinnection @pmtiegs Now the question is, what is the likelihood that a Ford Transit was hauling the front lower control arm for a Ford Transit?

Americans do many stupid things, but referring to a main course as the entrée has to be up there as one of the most stupid things they do. An entrée is literally the entrance/starter, not the main course.

8 year old oven Samsung oven just died. The 8 year old Samsung refrigerator is making that failing compressor sound. Luckily the dishwasher is a Bosch and seems fine. Trying to live frugally, but life is objecting.

Living off $8,000/mo in America is probably borderline poverty level and that’s scary because there are many people out there living below that income threshold.

@dustyslay @Ravenismeee We were too busy working to be bored. Farming, home upkeep, chores, car repairs kept us pretty busy. Yes those are things we did as early as 6 years old where I come from.
