When I'm emperor, anyone who gets involved to punch or kick some random stranger already on the ground, in a fight they're not really involved in, will be executed on the spot.

When i am emperor they will be given their own land and airports, and waffle houses to fight, fuck, burn down or whatever they want to destroy.

Remember when dozens of State Department employees asked for official postings to Wakanda?

Pepperidge Farm Remembers...

They need to get fired first...

Sirhr

That's just funny. Unless there was an actual incorporated trade partner named Wakanda.

You should have seen some of the test names we used developing software at NASA. Some may even still be in the software.

There is definitely shit worth being pissed about but this doesn't move the meter for me. I'd rather not muddy up real results with angst over stuff like this.

At lease DOA has a sense of humor about it.

GREAT SEA STORY (Trivia)
The passenger steamer SS Warrimoo was quietly knifing its way through the waters of the mid-Pacific on its way from Vancouver to Australia. The navigator had just finished working out a star fix and brought Captain John DS. Phillips, the result. The Warrimoo's position was LAT 0º 31' N and LONG 179 30' W. The date was 31 December 1899. "Know what this means?" First Mate Payton broke in, "We're only a few miles from the intersection of the Equator and the International Date Line". Captain Phillips was prankish enough to take full advantage of the opportunity to achieve the navigational freak of a lifetime.
He called his navigators to the bridge to check & double check the ship's position. He changed course slightly so as to bear directly on his mark. Then he adjusted the engine speed.
The calm weather & clear night worked in his favor. At midnight the SS Warrimoo lay on the Equator at exactly the point where it crossed the International Date Line! The consequences of this bizarre position were many:
The forward part (bow) of the ship was in the Southern Hemisphere & in the middle of summer.
The rear (stern) was in the Northern Hemisphere & in the middle of winter.
The date in the aft part of the ship was 31 December 1899.
In the bow (forward) part it was 1 January 1900.
This ship was therefore not only in:
Two different days,
Two different months,
Two different years,
Two different seasons
But in two different centuries - all at the same time!

Sorry, heated seats, cooled seats, big screen in the dash, 18 way seats, 10 speed transmissions, mirror warning lights, backup cameras and the rest of the gadgets and doo dads people now want are not compatible with that idea.

AM radio, 2-55 A/C with wing windows, manual windows, floor vents, headlights, side mirrors and it takes a few minutes to warm up. Still has 450 HP 500 ft lbs of torque and gets 17 mpg and a pleasure to drive even without cruise control.

I’ll bet it has one of those newfangled passenger side mirrors.

For a lot of electrical problems(not dash warning lights) you can get a long way with a battery charger and a simple voltmeter

Most of the fears about vehicle electronics is a little overblown
 
I like 80s/90s early 2000s cars and trucks for daily use. Most have good options that make using them regularly a pleasure, have a little panache and are still easy to fix….especially Japanese stuff.

I get lots of conversations at fuel pumps and other places about my 4Runner and Ram. People like em.

I would love to have an 80s Celica or Supra.

No freeloading…
