I have this weird little vehicle from the 1980's. I can best describe it as a Japanese Jeep. It wasn't ever a "big" vehicle, but seeing it next to a modern truck is jarring.

The best part is, I know from direct repeated personal experience that the 60 horsepower 4wd can go more places than a typical 4wd truck.

EDIT: Also, the truck in this picture is a 2004-2008, a 2023 is even bigger...

Have you tried to buy a Maverick?

Yeah, I’d be a-okay with an fm radio and roll down windows in a compact hatchback, thanks. You people with your fancy cars. It’s all going to be trash with the flick of a firmware update.

Nobody makes fun of my wife's little econobox anymore. 1.2 liter engine, 5 speed, and a radio.

He's just really, really horny because he has to work in a situation that has hum surrounded by old white men. And that's perfectly fine, he should embrace it, no matter what his imaginary friend says.

I was living in Oklahoma and I remember some of the local media mentioning this "coronavirus" thing that was spreading in China. I also remember people joking about Corona (the beer) being suddenly less popular.

Then in February, March, and April it getting more and more serious, and this is about the time that people started claiming it wasn't real, and if it was, it wasn't that bad, and if it was, then it was from a chinese lab bent on taking down the US...

April-May had me re-adjusting my previous opinions of people around me that I thought were rational.

What I have wondered is do people who grow up in places where the streets are more or less in a grid end up with a different sense of direction to those who grew up in a place where old walking paths were just paved over, creating more random street layouts?

The machine tools used to cut the barrels and other parts have replaceable cutting elements, but your point still stands - nobody is keeping track of how many barrels or which barrels were turned with what cutter on what day.

There's an even more damning argument, however. All a potential murderer has to do is shoot a couple of boxes of rounds through their gun before shooting their victim. Then they clean the gun and would you look at that, the clean barrel makes different marks than the dirty one.

Edit: I remember that I could fire .38 special through my .357, and I often did for target shooting because it was cheaper.

Im in Oklahoma. It was cold, with a day of powdery dry snow that we normally don't get. Might have had 3"-4" of coverage. The schools were closed until today. We never lost any utilities, just stayed at home, got high, and did some baking.

It was above freezing today and yesterday, so we have some fun icy patches that haven't cleared.

I started making soap in 2016 just to see if I could figure it out. Now I'm pretty good at it and have a lot of fun with different colors and smells. I normally don't use 100% olive oil, though. An equal-parts mixture of Canola, Olive, and Coconut oil is what I try to use, but I've also had good luck with "whatever cooking oil I have on hand".

I used to work with truckers, and a LOT of them started out like this.

I used to use high-powered (4KW) lasers at work every day. Now I make 3D models and sit at a desk.

Guess which job I like more.
