Ideally, we’d have something like fusion power for vehicles but, relatively speaking, cars are still pretty young even if they did come out a hundred years ago. That and fusion reactors are still massive pieces of equipment and only work for less than a second at the moment. Not exactly practical but we’re getting closer! 😛
Nice thing about using olive oil? If you get hungry, you just need to drain the tank to flavor your salad. 😛
Been reading up on random Wiki articles again and came across this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morristown_UFO_hoax
Sounds very familiar! And actual balloons!
Still need to research brownouts more. Got distracted and haven’t gotten back to it even though the tab has been up for a while. Once I have a good understanding of that, of to reading up on cosmic radiation!
Heh, first read the conviction as:
50 hours of community service at the Hangover Recreation Commission.
Sure would have been a novel AA initiative!
Yeah, the general reaction to brownouts is folks getting browned off, as in a dropout in the middle of cooking the Christmas turkey, the roast is not!
A few Christmases back gave Mum a straw/wicker donkey/burro figurine/piñata a bit like this: 😛
Wonder how it’s doing now.There once was an old saying:
Waste not, want not.
Nowadays it’s more like:
Waste not, What not.
On QI: Upside Down they showed among other things wine glasses, art, flags and faces, there’s also inverted beer bottles/glasses and more on Wikimedia such as animals, amusement rides and houses. Just to stodge up this page try this selection of three houses to choose a favourite from:
BTW Here’s a nice reflection from a street café a few years back:
A bottle and glass observation tower in a rest area!
Whelp. The charging port on my ancient phone bit the dust this morning. It no longer detects a connected cable. Tried it with two different chargers without success. May be fixable but it’s probably not worth the effort of finding the part from a reputable seller. Guess I’ll prepare for the funeral! Was replacing it with the tablet anyways 🙂
For some reason, I find it much harder to type on the tablet than I do phone. May need to get an external keyboard for it
I don’t care how crappy the aerodynamics are, this car looks awesome: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delahaye_135
Most cars these days lack originality in their designs! They all look the same! Except for the ones that cost five digits. Granted, even those use practically the same design: a rounded triangle 😛
Fun fact: we have a lone Caterham dealer in the state
Boing-Boing don’t like the host listings, so up goes a blocker/wall without a booiiing sound effect. Luckily, you can clear the cache and cookies, then, in reloading the page, quickly hit the handy stop/pause button before the wall comes up again. Yes, its hilarious, sort of thing one would find in TikTok. 😛
Haven’t seen many – if any – of those in this country, not to say they aren’t here of course:

Tread lighly with those dealers! Like with most brands, the real cost of a vehicle comes with all the extras, addons and fries with that. 😛
If in short supply of eye opening forms of transport, look no further than a hobby horse!
