  1. Seems like in most countries other than the US, people tend to eat pizza with a fork and knife.
  2. it's the same ending as when i built my first one as a kid. it's the only part that i kept intact.
  3. Finished the first complete iteration of my Lego Rube Goldberg machine:
  4. Look at those claws, and his face. He's just ready to claw the shit out of any dog that's not orange/red like him.
  5. There are some second-hand Lego shops around me that sell bulk bricks by weight. I'm thinking of buying a bunch of technic / regular bricks because I'm building a Rube Goldberg contraption and just making it up on the fly as I build.
  6. i pick #3 Read more Isn’t that effectively handing a vote over to the republicans? I've thought about this a lot, and my original position was to do a write-in, but I've changed my mind and would vote for Biden if he got the nomination, but not be happy about it. My original position (write-in) was to give the Dems the finger because they didn't nominate who I wanted, and if enough people did that, maybe they'd change, but I realize now that that's pretty stupid. However, I now think that it's much more important that people get out and vote in the primaries if they wanna effect change in their party. If their candidate didn't get the nomination, they could still feel better about perhaps voting for the lesser of two evils.
  7. I love lambics in the first place, but this has to be my favorite. Usual sourness and bit of funk perfectly balanced by a little bit of brown sugar sweetness. It's amazing how consistently good it is with wild yeast.
  8. Trying to drink up my sours before the weather gets too cold... Man this one started off with such a funky smell that it scared me a bit. It calmed down quickly, though, and turned out to be a great geuze.
  9. I haven't tried the Java Head stout, but I did get a stout that I knew was good in CBS (Canadian Breakfast Stout, brewed with coffee and chocolate and aged in bourbon barrels that had just aged Michigan maple syrup). Take a gander.
  10. I have to host the in-laws and extended family for a Christmas dinner party. Only good thing is that I get to choose the beer. They better enjoy drinking some Troegs perpetual IPA, mad elf, java head stout; founders CBS and blushing monk, and victory sour monkey. If not, then I am still stocked for the holidays. Win-win.
  11. Eat some greasy southern food, then 8 - 12 hours later this movie will premier in your toilet. Private screening, hopefully.
  12. Nice, looks fully electric but I don't think that glass is bulletproof, might be golf ball-proof.
  13. I heard someone say that the ideal corporate tax scheme would be based on what is produced. Companies that actually manufacture tangible goods and services would be taxed much less than those that make money just by moving money around or collecting interest etc. Nice in principle but too difficult to successfully implement without loopholes. Not to mention that it could never possible be implemented considering how much power the financial lobby holds.
  14. Listening to this now at work, some really great stuff, thanks! I am so glad that people like you are out there curating things like this so that newcomers to the genre like myself can have touchpoints from where to start exploring.
  15. I agree that they're very competent and quality vehicles, but around here I see them only being driven around Princeton by wealthy housewives, which is what I can see happening a fair bit with the cybertruck.
  16. Check out the VW ID.3, the specs look pretty nice. I actually wish they were coming to the states.
  17. Yeah I consider those big, expensive trucks rich people vehicles. ? Given the performance specs of the cybertruck, it can probably cross categories between rich truck people and rich sports car people. I think there will always be a subset of people who will just want to drive it because of how unique and different it is, and those people tend to have the disposable income to spend on a truck like this. That's really what I was trying to say with my post, I guess. These big trucks (and SUVs) are the legacy automakers' bread and butter. They had better be afraid of the cybertruck; I think I saw that a few of them were announcing their own EV trucks but they aren't nearly as ahead of the EV game and as agile as Tesla so I'm afraid some blunders will inevitably occur.
  18. That price point is assuming that when this goes into production, Tesla will have its next-gen batteries which will supposedly be lower cost. It's likely that the production will be delayed and the price increased, based on Tesla's history. However, the specs at that price point are a great value. Regarding the appearance, it will look slightly different when they add side mirrors and a few other things to it. I think most people probably think it's ugly, but that won't stop people from buying it. I was amazed that anybody bought the mid-1990s RAM pickups or the Pontiac Trans Sport or those ugly expensive boxy Mercedes SUVs. There will be plenty of rich people who will drive one just to say, "look at how rich I am, I can drive around in a car that's expensive AND butt-ass ugly."
  19. Box set is amazing, so much material! "Dune" might be one of my favorite Underworld tracks ever.
  20. Growing up in the pseudo-midwest (Ohio), I was subjected to some pretty shitty pizza, mostly of the rectangular and too-doughy variety. Best pizza I've ever had was at Frank Pepe's in New Haven, CT Awesome white clam pie as well
