[Carrentals Blog] Do you remember the first time you stalled a car?

[Latest Videos in all categories] Freemasonry, 666 and Solomon's Link: Luckily, Allied attacks on heavy water supplies stalled the German atomic weapons program before Hitler's plan could come to fruition. Indeed, in Britain's Thousand Bomber Raids, bomber streams were up to 200 miles long and 50 miles wide before they unloaded their cargo over German cities.18 They brought a storm of blockbusters and incendiary bombs that delivered vengeance in the form of a literal sea of fire; as payback, of course, for earlier German incendiary raids over Britain. The code names for these raids were often biblical in context, such as "Operation Gomorrah."
[Damn Interesting Comments] Damn Interesting » The Third Reich's Diabolical Orbiting Superweapon: is also a main source of knowledge and technology, a beam of light and progress, perhaps the Athens of our days (so much for a contradiction), perhaps just like Germany in the 40s. In the future I will refrain from harsh comments, thus not to obstruct my main contributions in the form of valuable information such as the reference in post # 83 or # 116."
[TrekMovie.com] Production Designer Scott Chambliss On Designing New Star Trek ...: Even STAR TREK III…which…let’s face it…looks like it cost about ten bucks…with it’s HORRIBLE Genesis Planet set…and that AWFUL Klingon Targ…gave us SPACE DOCK…and the Excelsior (which was SUPPOSED to look ugly…) and the Grissom (an excellent, smaller science vessel) AND…perhaps the greatest addition to the Trek Pantheon…the KLINGON bird of prey (which, btw, was SUPPOSED to be Romulan…)…well…the Trek design asthetic FLOURISHED here…because the dudes at the VERY SAME VISUAL EFFECTS FACILITY…are from a different time…where considered design elements TRUMPED the cool factor. Today…well…it’s different.
[The Oil Drum - Discussions about Energy and Our Future] The Oil Drum | DrumBeat: April 2, 2008: I wonder if Lucas Electric is making the circuitry for this engine? Lucas was infamous for their Brit Motorcycle electrical systems, so much so that a joke among motorcyclists was: 'Do you know why the Brits drink warm beer?' Answer: 'Because Lucas makes their refrigerators too.'
[Comments for Tesla Founders Blog] What Happens Next? « Tesla Founders Blog: Ironically, the extremely popular and successful car they were trying to capture the essence of, the iconic Lotus 7, arguably has the least amount of styling of any production sports car ever made. He did make a good point that engineers tend to put automobile stylists in the same category as hairdressers.
[Roger Ebert's Journal] Roger Ebert's Journal: Archives: They removed the plastic horns to prevent someone from getting gored on their inevitable fall. I would think getting gored would be the least of all worries by the people that actually get on that thing, considering the frontal lobotomies they must have had before consenting to ride.
[The Oil Drum - Discussions about Energy and Our Future] The Oil Drum: Campfire | "I Don't Know": So if you want to give a "smart guy" some new information make sure it is up front rather that mixed in with a bunch of already debunked information, it is a question of packaging the information so the interesting stuff is noticed so as not to be ignored. If someone posted a Jerome Corsi video here about how oil was abiotic, and the earth had a smooth and creamy nuget center of oily goodness that the Illuminati was preventing us from getting how many of us would make it more than five minutes into that video.
[GM FastLane] Chevy Volt Concept: A New Kind of Electric Car | GM FastLane: Yes this is a lovely car but until it is made available at a reasonable cost to every Canadian and American, I will continue to shop around to the many other producers of electric cars…Concepts are not what we need…We need real solutions to the global issues and these concepts have been around for a very, very long time…Battery technology is out there already…who or what is holding this back…NOT the consumers, that’s for sure…if we can’t buy from the standard manufacturers we will buy on the black market and get what we want…ELECTRIC VEHICLES…no noise, no emmisions and no more need to be a slave to the internal combustion engine and the Oil and Gas companies…make it available and we will buy it…stay in the past and the land of greed and you will be left behind…I truly hope that you can get your act togehter and make this product an economical reality and I will be more than happy to support GM (and forgive them for the horrendous conspiracy to kill the electric vehichle technology, forcing the population back into gas “slavery” when the light had already been turned on…) We have seen the future and unless global changes occur, global standards adhered to, there will be no planet for our great grandchildren to inherit.
[Making Light] Making Light: Open thread 113: For years, Fannie and Freddie got all kinds of financial advantages from having the assumed "full faith and credit" of the US government behind them, while still being nominally private agencies who could (among other things) pay their top executives gazillion-dollar salaries and spend millions lobbying Congress to let them do more profitable things. One cost of that is that once people come to believe the agency really has the promise of the US government behind it, we dare not repudiate that promise.
