Incredibly-not-serious-and-AI-aided-back-of-envelope Math, but STILL: an 8.3L engine uses .3 milliliters of gas every rev. that's a gallon every 12,000 revs. That's 8 minutes of driving at 1,500RPM, which will probably get you to 60MPH. That's 7.5 MPG, unless im missing some Car Talk Math.

"“That’s the great thing about fishing,” he said. “You never know what you’re gonna catch.”" love this guy
Nicholas Slayton@nslayton.bsky.social · 4h agoThis year the US military fielded its LUCAS one way attack drone, based on Iran's Shahed. It used them in combat against Iran. One recently crashed into the waters off Florida where fishermen found it. The photos are fantastic. taskandpurpose.com/news/air-for...
This reminds me when ESPN (!) did a poll of readers on the eve of the Iraq War (!!i know, right!!!) - like March 2003 - and it was basicly 66-33 FOR the war. And all i could think was, HOLY SHIT, ESPN is THE laboratory of male/90%white/educated/WAR-ON-TV-LOVING Dudes, and he's ALREADY LOST 1/3!!!!!

Men: 45% R to 40% D White: 47% R to 38% D 45-64 yo: 44% R to 38% D Also interesting that 3% of those identifying as MAGA said they'll vote Dem in the midterms. Lol.

If a streaming app - HBO? Netflix? - wanted to front run the networks, they'd give this guy a live stream show during ever NFL. I would tune over to him on every commercial break.

Christening a baby is nothing like christening a ship. I know that now. Once again I can only apologise.
You ever see your hospital or insurance company with a huge ad at an MLB stadium and think wow thats wild I wonder where they got all that money to spend on baseball
the rise of TradCore and Mar-A-Lago Face as the default aesthetic of the Red South has hit college football hard. i'm just saying.

A stunning shot of a Ukrainian F-16 pilot looking back at a jet-powered Shahed he had just shot down over Kyiv with his onboard cannon.
DID IT, THO? Was there "widespread, bipartisan condemnation"? Did UT's "Diverse Texas campus bond" over it? Did - as Molly Ivins once put it - the Chi-Os pull the ribbons out of their hair and start the revolution?
The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com · 2d agoAt the University of Texas, Republican Bo French drew widespread, bipartisan condemnation for his attack on South Asian students celebrating their football team’s win. “It used to be directed at immigrants. Now it’s second generation,” one student said.
I hate this idea. it will be a Land Rush from 10,000 raving Christian church-funded maniacs to launch "journalism" sites and cash in on the credits. like charter schools. like talk radio. like film/TV filming tax credits. like buying real estate without property taxes.

Lanterns is like Slow Horses, in that there's one actor playing 5-time Pro Bowl ball, and everybody else in the show is some Pac 12 rotation guy applying to law school his senior year.
