Actually, I got that wrong, it's prostate cancer that spread. Not sure where I got that crossed up. it's still termibal

I've been following Scott Adams (Maker of Dilbert, among other things, some of his self help books are pretty good) for years on Twitter/X, and his pancreatic cancer (correction, it's metastasized prostate cancer) is entering its last stages. I suspect he has a couple weeks left at this point. Its a...

I've now owned my 2023 Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD for two full years, TL;DR I really like it. I live in Colorado, I've put it through daily commutes, mountain drives, and longer trips across the Western Slope. Here's my honest take after clocking 33000 miles. Performance: Fantastic The acceleratio...

Hysterical, he hasn't missed a beat.

Isn't Jaguar owned by TTM? I cant imagine them letting the iconic brand die at the minimum

I never had a Amiga but always wanted one....maybe that's next.

The last ten years or so seem to been fairly barren as far as pure comedies go, but this year we have seen a cautious return to the mid budgets movies I loved back in the day. Naked Gun was pretty good, although it's box office suggests it broke even roughly, but now we have Fackham Hall, which I ho...

It could work. I did like parts of lower decks and some episodes of Strange New Worlds. Those who stuck with Picard finaily got a decent final season. And in fairness TNG needed a lot of episodes before it got good. But if it works I suspect it wont be very much like "real" Star Trek. We'l...

They made a awesome SMG in the M38A though.

Backyard ballistics (Which is honestly a great channel for anyone with a interest in the subject) restores a Italian Breda Modello 30, officially known as the Fucile Mitragliatore Breda modello 30. A great breakdown of one of the less loved WW2 light machine guns. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hF-...
