It’s actually a really impressive bit of engineering and craft. Making the doors work around the back wheel wells because of the extreme chassis shortening is difficult work.

Also the fuel tank, drive shaft, exhaust, brake lines, and wiring all had to be modified to work too. Even the parking brake would have had to be changed to keep working.

Does the local songbird population count?

Unless it’s tin whiskers from the early lead free solder…

I fear that shit way more than I was ever worried about y2k bugs.

Sort of vaguely op-art. Or postmodern brutalist perhaps.

It could be a bit better thought out to improve readability and find a more pleasing interaction between the letter and logo elements, but it’s an interesting idea to explore further I think.

I hope he thought back to before the times they spent hiding.

I lost my brother after a long failed treatment for cancer. It’s easy to remember the crappy 3 years of hospital visits and associated hardship. But when I remember him, I’m more often thinking of the 30 years before that, and the good moments in between.

Being in that room probably made it impossible not to think about the war though, and there’s no way anyone could be expected to think otherwise.

Also vote against Nazis and fascists so we don’t have to deal with these again.

No, a Chinese Y-9 intelligence-gathering aircraft.

It was only there for 2 minutes, that’s long enough for Japan to scramble jets to respond.

If you want the fight to be more even, guns are a fucking waste of time. You’d need armed drones dropping grenades like in Ukraine. Or IEDs like the insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The cops already assume too many houses are armed up like ruby ridge and they go in no-knock warranting and shoot your dog while blinding and burning your toddler “just in case”.

The more guns proliferate the more on edge we all get, and cops aren’t the ones that are gonna be more respectful with more people armed. Quite the fucking opposite has been true so far.

They just flew over Japanese airspace this week.

I started in 2006 web design & development, worked till 2019 when my company dissolved, 5 months before the pandemic.

I moved out of the city and I’m fixing rusty old cars for peanuts. It’s nice, but can still be stressful. Just in a totally different way.
