It is an extension/evolution of the idea of ricing cars. Originally it was something like Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements. Basically stuff that makes your car look “racier”/faster, but does nothing for performance.

Edit to add - That is probably backronym to cover up for the mostly racist origination of that term. I can’t be sure.

I have been doing some uploading there for a few mths. My biggest gripe is that they support 60 second videos, but anything over 15 seconds (for me) never finishes uploading.

I have seen the repeats too though.

Death to allegra geller! Death to existenz!

I probably should have noticed that. I’ll chalk it up to an early Sunday brain.

I’m asking this in honest curiosity. Do we have a domestic car industry anymore? Does a Can-Am Spyder count? I might just be tired this morning, but I can’t think of a single Canadian car manufacturer of any volume right now.

Nah. It says Alberta right in the headline. No need for looking elsewhere.

Definitely a layer 8 problem

Da da da

Da da da

Make some noise b-boys

When I went outside to feed the forest friends this morning, a blue jay with injuries that I had been hanging out with that was missing for a few days showed up.

I’m going to ride that high all day.

Maybe it takes longer to catch a total asshole. But I’m tired of waiting

Wrong thread, duder.

The press: democrats shut down the govt and trump is the only one fighting to open it back up.

Mostly free, huh?

Partakes in text-based medium. Refuses to read well written and polite comment that is four whole paragraphs. Proceeds to think they are the intelligent one in the conversation. Are you huffing glue right now?

Every security person in the world just groaned and rolled their eyes at the same time.

Apologies for the bad photo. Any chance you have some advice with the newly cropped one?

My current plan is to wrap it in a bunch of rockwool for the winter and then dig out the whole drain line to see if it can be done better.

Then I definitely misunderstood your intent. My Apologies.

My fury at the use of ‘based on their beliefs’ stands in general, but I apologize for ascribing that to your comment without first asking.

That voice there is a part of you that knows that murdering people solely on the basis of which religion

This is the part of your comment I was referring to. That user never said anything about their religion. They said something about waiting to have information about their actions.

Conflating those two is easy, and effective at making those who judge others by their actions seem like religious bigots.

But when we pointed this out 20-30-40 years ago we were told that we were the crazies and that the world would self-correct towards progress.

Notice that they never said anything about the religion, but question the ACTIONS of that synagogue before expending emotional energy.

And they didn’t call for their deaths, they merely said that if they were one of the synagogues who are preaching hate then they won’t care about their suffering, just as those people don’t care about the suffering in gaza right now.

This shit is so common and so infuriating - “They laughed at his death because of his beliefs”

No, you are being disingenuous - “They laughed at his death because of his actions. he called for the death and suffering of many.” is not the same thing at all.
