Random Thought Thread

Anyone like both pork rinds AND hot stuff?? If so, try the eloquently named “Pork King Good” brand, that is surprisingly based in Wisconsin! My favorite is the “Stupid Hot” flavor, which are actually pretty spicy!!

They have lots of great flavors, but most importantly, have the TEXTURE down. Light, fluffy, not dry… (I’ve evidently turned into a bit of a pork rind snob!! 😂)

Recently noticed them popping up in gas stations around here……after I bought one store out completely, I ordered a few directly from the company!! 😁

A comma there would be incorrect. Commas before a name only come after a unique identifier. So if it said, "The zoo's newest baby monkey, Punch.." then the comma would be correct since there can only be one newest baby monkey in the zoo. But since there are multiple baby monkeys in the world, no comma should be in that title. In other words, the comma separates two unique identifiers, not a general description followed by a unique identifier.

So many ways they could have done better, grammatically, with that headline. lol

They’re fun, really sporty and reliable, but man are they small inside. I’m 5’11”ish, 190lbs and these cars are a pain in the rear to get in and out of.
Crazy to think my Karmann Ghia has more headroom than these.

Old cars look almost comically small compared to current production vehicles.

Photos of OG Mini Coopers vs new Minis, old Mustangs vs current Mustangs…

Getting the opportunity to try sitting in (and even being offered the opportunity to drive them) cars I’d drooled over from my youth, only to discover that many weren’t made for a 34” inseam and size 12 shoes, was pretty disappointing.

I can’t remember if it was the DeTomaso Panthers, or the Lotus Esprit. The footwell was so small, and legroom so short, I had to angle my hips to get my foot on the gas pedal. From that position, I couldn’t rotate my foot over to get to the brake pedal, without a lot of wriggling.

Couldn’t even take it for a spin, even though the owner offered.

By the way, I've been thinking about this myself recently—just imagine if right now some company decided to make a gasoline car and a diesel car, completely ignoring all the "ecology" requirements, like literally completely, but still in a sane way.

Just think about what could be achieved with today's technologies and everything else.

I seriously think, no joke, it would be completely possible to build something insanely reliable.

By the way, you know this will never happen, right?

Oh, and in some European countries there are already huge restrictions on diesel cars, and there are even talks about banning them altogether.

Degenerates…

The “Big 3” auto makers in the US already make these reliable vehicles but they’re only available to the Military or made for countries like Mexico or the UAE because they obviously don’t follow our stupid rules.
Now if our countries were smart or gave a damn about what citizens wanted, said government could pave our roads with pavement containing titanium dioxide that actively breaks down nitrogen oxides from vehicle exhausts, but that would be counterproductive for these companies and investors that thrive off of the BS green energy nonsense.
