2·6 days agoFormal acceptance to the apache software foundation is in progress.
10·7 days agoThey just fell apart. The plastic body meant no rust (I think the roof was steel though)!
Seriously, everything inside just started falling apart after 10 years. Dash, seat belt winders, door panels fell off, radio buttons just caved in, etc. and ours lived a fairly pampered life.
I spent a good deal of my childhood in one. The 3.1L V6 was a dog and the 3 speed transmission meant kicking down was an event and the mileage was terrible. Dad always wished he held out for the 3.8L and 4 speed in '92.
I see a sidewinder in the background too. That was always my favorite of their concepts in that era.
I think the Lamborghini LM002 might be the bad looking darling of my childhood.
Or the Bizzarini BZ-2001 concept. I had a poster on my wall.
Lots of variations of anti-theft hangers have that kind of fixed loop feature.
I could squint a little and make a case that this represents a CEO who is about to spend a shitload of company money on AI (or any anti-human venture) rather than employees.
Not if you’re lactose intolerant! But then it’s also a shit post. A violent and painful one.
In the late 90s (or maybe 2000) in the US Midwest, I remember paying $0.79 a gallon, or $0.21/L. With the exchange rate then, it works out to £0.13/L. So yeah, it was cheap. I filled my 15 gallon tank for the cost of 2 hours at my just above minimum wage job.
22·16 days agoI’d guess this is a mustang and that would make it the “small” engine (~305hp) for that car, the other option being a 5.0L.
As a sidenote, I’m enjoying a pair of KEF Carina II speakers which might hit the mark and be easier to find!

The originals are either “the loudspeaker” or “the smaller loudspeaker”. Later, they added advent/1, advent/2, and advent/3. You may need to replace the foam.
Shockingly, the only fail for the Ford F150 Lightning is the physical buttons for climate control on the higher trim models (with the gigantic screen). The Pro and XLT have the physical buttons and I’ll be damned if I don’t miss them.
And on those, fan speed is a touch and then you can dial the speed on the one physical control.
See if you can find a pair of Advents!
Inspired by 1975 F1 cars.
Looks like Volvo to me.
17·23 days agoRather, the Hawaiian law is based on the fact that in the United States, corporations are created and given their powers by the charters of the individual states. Indeed, corporations simply are a legal creation of the state, everywhere they exist, by definition. The new law simply states that corporations doing business in Hawaii do not have the power to engage in local, state, or federal political campaigns, that that was not one of the powers enumerated in the state’s corporate charter. It further specifies a range of penalties—including losing the right to conduct any business in the state at all—if they do.

With you. Love beer, cocktails, whisk(e)y, amaro, etc. And I really don’t like getting drunk (I do sometimes, but always regret it).
2-3/night is my usual. Usually a beer after work then another 1 or two throughout the evening. Add an afternoon beer or cocktail on the weekends. Well-spaced. Almost never more than 5 drinks in an entire day.
