So Mercedes just stuck a *squints* flux capacitor in a car that has gull wing doors...

Correction, axial flux motor. No time travel, just much lighter, goes fast. Phew.

@MotherDucker
PT for broken fingers includes essentially that. Heat it up for some extra therapeutic goodness.

@Madken65 @Mandypar

Well better luck next time.

oh wow 40 years later a mechanical keyboard for the ZX-81! That thing had the WORST ever membrane keyboard. So cool and silly.

Woudl I need to muddle through 1&2 to understand 3? b/c I didn't watch past the first episode.

Another thing to consider re: climate change: ticks. Their population is morphing and moving. If you haven't dealt with 'em before congrats! But you might want to learn about them.

And they are now fully out and about where I am @^&#$&

@Jeber The internet is that last/least/worst place I use that word :)
Curating unorganized streams of mostly ephemeral/superfluous data is high-effort, low reward. Doable, but usually hard to justify. archive.org is a monumental and awesome example, and gets the tippity tips of the tsunami(s).
Curating monographs, maps, digital _publications_, sounds, etc etc; cool and fun. And hard. But fun.

Always the trick, isn't it. Subject to water condensing where it shouldn't (gas tank/lines), dirtiness, heat, etc. My sturdy old 60's Ford has a hydraulic failure deep in its guts nobody wants to take on.

@LlamaMountainStudioArts Super nice! Hope the tractor enjoys the new digs.

@danielbsmith Agree, though by now the hole they're all in is too deep to get out of IMO regardless of rhetoric.

DETAILS OF VLADIMIR PUTIN'S MEETING WITH REPORTERS AND BLOGGERS COVERING THE SVO

...the last 30 minutes was a closed meeting where the voenkors told Putin about problems facing Russian units. According to Sladkov, Putin said "I didn't know about this...I'm hearing about this for the first time" after hearing about problems.

Now that we have your attention Vlad, you'll want a fresh diaper.

¿Por Qué No Los Dos?

I mean, you totally walked into it

@Madken65 Feel better. Stop throwing up.

@TheNewsOwl
Sometimes power stations just burst into flames.
Natural causes.

And THAT is the correct way to write about the shameful episode with the six-time bankrupt executive.

Florida man insists he didn't violate the law by keeping Top Secret docs

"The celebrated entertainer, who had a walk-on part in Home Alone 2 and spent four years in the role of US president, pleaded not guilty, and offered no justification for storing so many boxes of classified paperwork at his Mar-a-Lago manse."
