Fun With Hydraulics 101: The Lowlowrider (or in Hawai’i, The Lolorider).
Even sporting gray primer, this 1959 Buick Electra rocks. The only way it could out-rock itself is if it were a convertible with a candy-apple red/flame-orange blend lacquer paint job with panther print upholstery. It’d get speeding tickets at a stoplight.
If we had an Official Blogmocramobile, this pavement polisher could be it, but for now we’ll have to settle for the tuck-n-roll upholstery of the Rec Room couch at the local drive-in, better known as The Overnight Open Thread.

What could you really say that would be offensive?

All my friends know the low rider. Cue up some War, Bunk.

Most extreme example of car-stripping I’ve seen. Used to be they waited for the driver and passenger to leave before stealing the wheels. Used to be they also left the car on blocks when they were done.

Assuming you mean frozen solid and that hasn’t thawed, it can be good for several years. We get frozen meat from my parents’ farm every couple of years. OTOH, if the hamburger has thawed, you want to use it as soon as possible. Also, if it smells bad, don’t use it.

I’d be guessing that a .44 Mag in a barrel that short, most of the energy in the powder would go to making a loud bang, and relatively little toward throwing the slug down range?

Supposedly, it loses about 250 FPS in velocity over a standard barrel.

In case you’re ever planning to steal an armored vehicle, one thing to keep in mind: The M-109 doesn’t have combat locks on its hatches.

Major technical error in this movie:
The rogue Army troops switch from firing blanks to live ammo by just switching magazines.
Semi- or full-auto weapons only function with blanks when using a blank adaptor.
If you fire live ammo in a weapon that has a blank adaptor installed, it’ll blow up in your face.

FaithUmmah! There are 591 Days Until the 2012 Presidential Election! Good News! Jimmy Carter, that stalwart of Freedom and Democracy, is visiting Cuba. Can we hope he stays there? Carter has never found a thug he didn’t want to hug, so a trip to prop up Castro is no surprise at all. Carter is still the worst ex-President, though I am sure that when he is an ex-President Obama will work overtime to gain that honor for himself. In other news, the War in Libya grinds on without much hope for a better future. It came out yesterday that we are, without question, supporting al Qaeda’s side in Libya. Wonderful. If you wonder why we support “Revolution” in Libya but not Syria, look no further. We can’t appease al Qaeda in Syria. What could possibly go wrong here?

The war against Libya is now in the hands of the NATO.
On Monday Obama plans to adress nation about Libya decisions.
Searching for oil in the desert, Libya found vast quantities of fresh water under the sand. A huge engineering project was inaugurated by Colonel Gaddafi, to pipe the water from the desert aquifers to the coastal cities. The Great Man-Made River is one of the largest civil engineering projects in the world, but it is almost unknown outside Libya. Richard Hollingham, one of the first western journalists to visit the project, describes his experiences.

The fact is, I am not an anti-technical person – I’m up to my ass in fairly technical stuff on a daily basis. But that’s work/business stuff, which reduces the time I have/am willing to devote to non- work/businees technical stuff like posting on a blog. How do I use the fricking “Link” button?

And Ghaddafi, who may be bizarre and who certainly was a disgusting supporter of terrorism, there is no question about this, tried to open the country for tourism. You can say many things about him but one thing is for sure: he isn’t an idiot.
Has any one of those who are so supportive for democracy in the ME taken in account what will happen if the economy in this countries crashes because hundred of thousands of former government employees become jobless ? 60 per cent of the Syrians are younger than 20 years and only few have real working skills. To be an agent at a bus-company is seen as a high quality job.
Remember cw what happened after the fall of the “Mauer” in the former DDR ? Hundred of thousands SKILLED workers became jobless and they went either to the West or went abroad. Unemployment in Eastern Germany is still extreme high (more than 30 years after the fall of the “Mauer”) although Western-Germany has invested Billions after Billions in the economy. The support of neo-Nazis is high as well as the support of communism. Exployees in the West still pay their share to develop the Eastern-countys.
