We have a rule in my family

Don't touch the sunroof

Do not mess with it

Never, under any circumstances, never open the sunroof for any reason, I don't care if you're in the river and drowning

Because, once a car gets past a certain age, that completely useless sunroof WILL leak

The only real purpose of the sunroof is to raise your center of gravity and reduce your headroom. Other than making your car heavier and uncomfortable I can't think of any purpose it serves.

I actually have the same rule with my 4Runner.

Nate's random thought for the day:

I've been giving this a lot of thought because I think it's very important.

What would be the best superpower and what would be the worst superpower.

I think the best superpower would be to be an omnipotent five-dimensional entity that transcends all of space and time.

And the worst superpower would be to have a stinky tooth that could be used to subdue law breakers.

Great but Lindsey crashed & hurt herself again.🫣

"The three-time Olympic medallist screamed in pain as she fell to the ground after clipping a gate on a right-hand turn just seconds into her run."

See: Lindsey Von Crashes

Everyone admires her "grit" but there is something to be said for quitting when you're at the top.

Unfortunately, Lindsey is like an old boxer who needs to get the sh*t beat out of him to finally realize & accept that he needs to quit competing in a young person's sport.

I hope that she has finally learned this lesson & that the media & all of the people around her STOP enabling her to try to come back yet again. ✋🚫

Yeah.

People were talking about her competing with a torn ACL, with some folks stating, “Lots of people don’t get surgery for torn ACLs, and she has a lot of leg strength from training to compensate”.

My immediate thought was that people don’t really understand the forces involved in downhill skiing. It isn’t just about the ability to do squats and leg presses/extensions in a controlled environment. Downhill entails a LOT of lateral force on the legs, and it’s NOT a controlled movement. It’s ever changing. As a skier, even on a single turn, any surface unevenness (it’s snow. No matter how it’s groomed, it’s not perfectly smooth), results in constant changes.

When I saw the news about her competing with the torn ACL, my immediate two thoughts were;
- “Any hopes of being competitive, are now gone”

- “If she tries to push it, and all competitive athletes do, she’s going to be injured in another crash” 😕
 
Football was OVER for me 2 weeks ago.

I don’t know, when it comes to the best superpowers, the choice here is too boring — everyone will obviously pick something like immortality, time travel, invisibility, and so on.

But some kind of worst superpower that would still be sort of useful — that’s actually really fun.

Like, for example: you can read minds, or see through objects, or have super intelligence, or super speed — something like that, BUT WITH ONE CONDITION!

You have to get completely blackout drunk.

That is, you drink until you lose consciousness / until blackout, and only then does your superpower activate.

After a certain blood alcohol level (promille) is reached in your body.
