Overtaking With A Steam Engine
The 1924 model Doble Series E steam car could run for 1,500 miles (2,400 km) before its 24-gallon water tank needed to be refilled; even in freezing weather, it could be started from cold and move off within 30 seconds, and once fully warmed could be relied upon to reach speeds in excess of 90 miles per hour (140 km/h).

steam was a thing. alone w/electric cars. what really was impressive was the steam driven airplane.
Hayes: NRA "Good Guy With A Gun" Theory Failed In Real Time
haven't read that. or heard it. or even fever dreamt it.
sounds like one of those wack-a-doodle wing-nut posting jobbies.
ever occur to y'all...that not even Rupert Murdock supports unregulated guns? one of your deities doesn't agree w/you!
think about that.
the boss of your handlers rather you NOT have a gun.
this time, me and Rup' are on the same page.

BTW: since you cited Obama's CDC data - check on this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dickey_Amendment
The NRA was formed to teach southern blacks to defend themselves from the racist southern Democrats
Hayes: NRA "Good Guy With A Gun" Theory Failed In Real Time
Lol. Who told you that long ago debunked lie? Not the NRA.
Maybe research before making yourself look like a racist partisan fool….again.

Also….SOUTHERN STRATEGY you intentional ignoramus. Like Covid and election results, another fact you just deny.

Lawrence: ‘Fox News Has Blood On Its Hands’
this isn't the first time Fox has used their platform to help promote violence.
Hannity used the Bundy standoff...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bundy_standoff
...as a ruse to push the idea of 'jack-booted thugs' and provide his viewership reasons to hate the Obama admins.
but this was a result...

Strangely, they used hatred against the BLM then and now the BLM movement as a reason to scare white people.
Murdoch, an immigrant, anti-gun, has put the US back into Hearst hell. All those laws put into effect to stop this kind of inculcating methodology have been swept aside. w/o the Fairness Doctrine, there is no one to correct, or simply mock, a shill like *ucker. His influence would be shut off instantly if re-enacted.
Murdoch's companies have spent plenty of time in courtrooms. From the hacking corp in GB, sexually harassment suits - both men and women, and now slander against companies that make vote count machines. Criminality is their shadow.
(on a separate issue; Musk exposing his dick isn't the same as Musk exposing himself as a dick - right? Or the same really?)
Crazy Rocketman: Rocketman riding the Rocket Board!
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Asbestos (pronounced: /æsˈbɛstɒs/ or /æsˈbɛstəs/) is a naturally occurring fibrous silicate mineral. There are six types, all of which are composed of long and thin fibrous crystals, each fibre being composed of many microscopic "fibrils" that can be released into the atmosphere by abrasion and other processes. Inhalation of asbestos fibres can lead to various dangerous lung conditions, including mesothelioma, asbestosis, and lung cancer, so it is now notorious as a serious health and safety hazard.
You cruel bastard! That would be like rubbing your junk on a cactus!
I hope he's wearing asbestos undies.
Bertrand Russell - Message To Future Generations (1959)
Yes. Humor is an asset to all peoples. Even the Native Americans had their versions of Noah, Colbert, Kimmel, etc.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heyoka
Russell had a fav quote...
The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.
BUT this quote is more pertinent regarding today's environment...
The first step in a fascist movement is the combination under an energetic leader of a number of men who possess more than the average share of leisure, brutality, and stupidity. The next step is to fascinate fools and muzzle the intelligent, by emotional excitement on the one hand and terrorism on the other.
So, to recap: Facts. Love.
And don't forget to make people laugh. He left that part out. asshole
Roe v. Wade Cold Open - SNL
Lifted from Wikipedia (Margaret Sanger);
(for distribution of contraceptives) Sanger and Byrne went to trial in January 1917. Byrne was convicted and sentenced to 30 days in a workhouse but went on a hunger strike. She was force-fed, the first woman hunger striker in the US to be so treated. Only when Sanger pledged that Byrne would never break the law was she pardoned after ten days. Sanger was convicted; the trial judge held that women did not have
"the right to copulate with a feeling of security that there will be no resulting conception."
Sanger was offered a more lenient sentence if she promised to not break the law again, but she replied: "I cannot respect the law as it exists today."For this, she was sentenced to 30 days in a workhouse.
Let's talk about Republican reaction to the SCOTUS leak....
Your opinion about perjury duly noted. I assume that you are a lawyer, and know exactly what you are talking about. Since all of their testimony is public record, shall I expect to see the appropriate prosecutor convening a grand jury to address this crime?
Your other opinion as to "how it works" is also duly noted. I guess SCOTUS should not have overruled Plessy vs Ferguson (decided in 1896) when they heard Brown vs Board of Education (1954).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separate_but_equal
...accepted those laws as settled precedent, these were asked and they answered, with lies, that’s perjury....
Historically they do restrict themselves based on previous SUPREME COURT decisions, which this was. I guess you believe nothing is settled law or overriding precedent then, all laws are up for grabs based on the current courts whims and nothing more.
That’s just not how it works.
The Myth of Cuban Health Care
...not to mention a major cause of the state of its Health Care is due to a myriad of the US's embargo/sanctions of medical supplies to Cuba, despite some aids (to be truly Fair & Balance).

Wikipedia's Bias
Nope.
Not a fan of Stossel. He has botched stories one too many times to be comfortable with his accuracy.
If he was an auto rental agency, only every 30th car would catch on fire but that's enough to dissuade me.
Rather go w/Limbaugh or Rather. At least one could be assured on the level of reporting. John Stossel? Give me a break.
Don't know what others do, but only use Wikipedia as a light reference. Rather go to Britannica for better accuracy
Wikipedia's Bias
Newt you, as Wikipedia most prolific spin masters, one can understand why your denial is so strong.
I'm not a dumb shit. I just buy the shit your selling.
This must cut close to home -- you are so testy on this ...
You a Commie TOOL arn't you ? You still getting those checks from the communist party for all the false information you spin?
Oh wow! Right wing media isn’t reliable!? Who knew!? (EVERYBODY KNEW, YOU DUMB SHIT…for decades)
Zipline Delivery Drones Are Changing Medical Deliveries
50 mile delivery radius (over flat terrain)
80mph max, 63mph cruise
4lb payload. I doubt there’s onboard cooling, but cool insulated boxes would be fine for maximum 45minute deliveries
Yes, weather is a factor…that’s why they’re setting up their own weather monitoring for higher resolution on local weather to fly around smaller systems and ground for big storms.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zipline_(drone_delivery)
What is their range and top speed? Can content be cooled, how is weather affecting the uav?

Bangladeshi bus driver skills
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_traffic-related_death_rate surprised me at first:
Indonesia: 15.3 road deaths/100,000 inhabitants/year
Bangladesh: 13.6 road deaths/100,000 inhabitants/year
However:
Indonesia: 36.7 road deaths/100,000 motor vehicles/year
Bangladesh: 1020.6 road deaths/100,000 motor vehicles/year

Highway 8 goes from San Diego to south of Phoenix. Where does that number come from? 08?
