Yeah, I'm more staring at the $2B valuation for already proven tech. There's nothing new about it. You could do this with dog collars, a better radio, and a databricks stack in the barn.
ha. Oddly enough, I'm on my third one as well ('07, '12,'17) I can't complain about the system in mine, but it has wired Android Auto so I basically never use it anyway. All the AC and things are physical knobs, so...all the more reason not to upgrade.
Just keep the GTI, fellow VW Friend. You have one of the last manuals in your possession. They stopped making them in '24, so my 2017 GTI may be the last one I get to row my own.
The LinkedIn translator: https://translate.kagi.com/?from=en_us&to=linkedinit's also hilarious to translate it back to English.
Good work, boss. Keep it up.
The only reason I still have a gas VW GTI is because it's paid off. My next one will likely be EV
I usually get a "the saw is out of order." But I'm tempted to just buy a battery saw and cut them in half myself next trip
Just by weight. I mis-measured and had to go get a single 8', figured I'd get it in my hatchback. Got a #2 pine stud and it was like balsa wood compared to the same cut of the 16'.
When I can borrow a truck, the 16 footers are worth the ass pain of getting them home. They were pine, at least that's what the sign said, but they're 3x as dense as the 8' and actually straight.
My husky would do the same thing. He would also try to get the old cat to play with him by putting his mouth around the cat's head and just drool until the cat got fed up with it and would swat at him. I wish I had more pictures of them, but that was circa 2000/the late nineteen hundreds
HE GOT SO BIG!
*cracks beer* damned fine work, sir
It's beautiful, but half the place smells like beer from the Tennent's brewery next door. Not that I'm complaining, it just made me thirsty when I was there ;)
They all work for ICE already
The book is mainly great for the foreword Chuck added after the movie was huge
They also likely don't have the miles that a regular city bus would at that age, and have been religiously maintained, so are probably in good shape.
Not the "arrived in Landstuhl" part, but the wounded numbers. Also, when the whole thing kicked off, US media reported on Landstuhl's labor/delivery ward sending letters to expectant mothers telling them to find German hospitals to give birth, which likely means the hospital needs the beds and personnel to support wounded.
I found the full video on her YT, she's 34: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSXW4tkggQg
Cyprus is such a weird one, because the US has U-2s stationed there (unofficially). So it's a British base in an EU member island country. Cyprus doesn't have an agreement with the US, but the UK does and everyone just quietly ignores the whole thing.
Yeah, The only way to ride it is to do single rider and pray, but I usually skip it and just go ride Velocicoaster 3 times instead.
The Southern Baptists were primarily for church/state separation in their "States Rights" phase, between the abolition of slavery and the adoption of the Civil Rights Act, because they care only for control. The Georgia SBC once excommunicated the president of Mercer University because he wrote a book called "When we talk about God, let's be honest."
Even into the 70s/80s. The F-4 had an alternate start method that would use a shell to start the jet in a scramble.
Here, friend, for when they've removed the jump to recipe button: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/recipe-filter/ahlcdjbkdaegmljnnncfnhiioiadakae
Nice work! I just keep building workbenches, because I need the perfect bench before I begin any real projects, right?
100%. "Tell you what. You bring me a planeload of artillery shells, bring it here, unload it, and *then* I'll load you some jammers and interceptors onto the same plane." Cash-in-hand before the trade kind of deal.
I nay be mis-remembering, but I think the Ukraine offer was trading assets, leveraging their own anti-drone capability production to buy offensive weaponry. It'd actually gives them leverage in the conversations, though I agree with your overall assessment. This whole thing is going to be very expensive and very dumb.
Driving through Florida last week, I passed a car carrier with a 944 wedged in between some BMWs. My wife was not impressed at me suddenly turning into a small child filled with glee.
GSA likely didn't touch this one, and still does have those specific rules. Granted, DHS does as well. I'm amazed that they found a Contracting Officer with an unlimited warrant to actually sign these docs.

Minor technicality: The wings don't fold on a T-38, but you could remove the wingtips (not easily) and get it under the 25 foot width of the super guppy. But...I'm with the Southwest guy on that. Pulling the wingtips is a lot of sheet metal time, when a major reason that NASA has T-38s is to maintain flying time for astronauts.
