  1. Well, I've often renamed the neighborhood kids in a brave effort, but without parental consent, and it went nowhere. In the real world of US registered vessels you need to file a name change with the US Coast Guard. That requires ownership proof. They then issue your official document. It's enough of a fiasco that people hire agencies to do the paperwork and filing. So, unless he has connections it sounds to me like he just said it to get laid.
  2. THAT MUCH, I RESPECT . FROM THE START YOU SHOULD HAVE JUST SAID YOU WERE IT DOING HOW YOU LIKED AND WE COULD ALL JUST GO SPELL CHECK OURSELVES .
  3. So then you were simply bloviating and had no point to make?
  4. No one? So, it's just a thing that is gained from some form of education. I use it and don't as the mood, and flow, strikes. To be sure, you are free to revel in your own literary expressions as you desire and, in turn, we are free to not give a fuck.
  5. F'n stop it, jakee. Start looking at what people are thinking rather than looking at every post like a frog that needs dissecting.
  6. "apparently the classes that i had to take in college, the english ones that i almost aced with a 97 and 98 respectively, were bunk and wasted money then. i suppose i had better quit writing altogether." Agreed. And while you apparently did waste your money you should not quit writing. Just try to get better. But before then you might pen a note to the college President, in your inimitable style as proof, demanding that your tuition be returned with interest. As a side note, by being stubborn you have transformed this from being a passing criticism of your criticism into a personal credibility issue. Just fall on any conveniently available sword and this all goes bye bye. Except when skydiving, it is never too late to make the right decision.
  7. You composed this gem while laying claim to having good grammar. Well, you do not. Not that it matters because what really matters is writing with sufficient clarity to be easily understood. You shouldn't want your reader to struggle with your style. That, in fact, is exactly what makes richravizza so tedious and unreadable.
  8. I just knew some good would come of this.
  9. Interesting spin by KOIN. Here, the Curacao Times headline was: Local businessman killed by negligent car owner.
  10. I'm not so much for defunding them as I am for defanging them. Maybe they should need to load first or wear funny hats or something to make it all less serious on initial contact. I also think Police Unions need to be abolished if they cannot be separated from the punishment process. Back when the cops would sometimes take you home if you were plastered or just tell you to sleep it off. Not saying that's good, just saying it was different four decades ago. If your skin color was correct the cops were your friends and you wouldn't think twice about asking one for help. These day's I don't feel that way.
  11. Agreed. So then shall we defund the Police and dissolve Police Unions, too?
  12. Recently I had a nurse do something similar to a blood draw that was absolutely pain free. There's a tricky thing where they put a tiny bit of air in the skin before the real needle. She said she thought bit pushed the nerves aside but who knows. It sure worked, though.
  13. As ever we are going at it ass backwards. We need simple advantages conferred on those smart enough, or brave enough, to get a painless shot. Vaccine passports with the ability to board aircraft, dine out, take an Uber, go to the Opera. No, on second thought we should send those jabronis who wont get vaccinated to the Opera but you get my point.
  14. I have 4X5000W LFP batteries on board. They are 2 years old. The new ones have been out for 6 months and are 5500W. It's happening.
  15. Maybe these guy's who won't get vaxxed are just confused. Maybe they think we're all getting Brazilians.
  16. No kidding. A guy who can't fined the shift key and cares not for the rules of grammar is now throwing inflection marks at style offenders. That's Rich.........
  17. All I need to do is show up at the dealership and I'll get a new truck at 60% of sticker. And to everyone heading off to work this morning, thank you kindly for keeping the economy going.
  18. "Olof takes the crown from me as the worst predictor on Speakers Corner." Is that really a bragging rights thing?
  19. He totally understands. He is certainly not an idiot and I also don't think it's just non-stop trolling. Brent fancies himself as a cat and we as mice. Like all cats, they can be deadly serious but they also like to fuck with the mice now and then. The issue is that the whole climate change is BS, oil is good schtick has become a huge part of his identity. He gets to be a stand out player simply by virtue of never giving an inch. What he needs more than explanation after explanation is something else to do with his life other than be the clever contrarian. I'd give him a packer slot but I've already heard enough. What about you? He's got an MBA, I hear.

    I love you, because you're made of meat.
  21. I'm thinking it will ramp up fast after Phase Four owing to an unpredicted Black Electron Event. After 20% or so market penetration it will be a simple matter of odds that you can pull up behind or park next to another EV. Then you'll just need to push the Red button on your BillVon-o-tron device and Faraday some induced current from some old lady's VW into your Jag I-Pace's, now unlimited mileage, battery pack and you are off again. A major side benefit will be that soon all of the least aware and cell phone focused drivers will be out of juice and on the side of the road where they belong. It's the future, baby.
  22. You don't have to wonder because if you are strapping on you are incapable of wondering. Either the NRA, Marjorie Taylor-Greene, Facebook or your Duck Dynasty buddies have already 'splained that it's no longer just a God Given right but now also a Constitutional right to pack some heat. So, Parteeee.....
  23. Really? So your Tesla short was based on your own proprietary research that showed the majors entering in a more substantial way? Please do share your data lest some here think that statement was unadulterated bullshit.

    The wonderful thing about this post is it's you so there really isn't anything to unpack.
