[quote=Coronita]Lol. It’s not that bad…

It still has both airbags (for now). The dashboard hasn’t been taken out (yet). I haven’t started drilling holes (yet) into non structural body panels like the trunk floor to further reduce weight.

Plus I did put the door panels back on because they don’t save too much weight, and without them, my legs were getting cut up by the sharp metal edges when I went around corners, lol…

I think it’s down to 2250 lbs. I need to shave off another 120 lbs after I put in a in a full cage and a carbon fiber hardtop.

Might end up removing the power steering and swapping for a manual rack. Don’t really need it. Less things to break.

I likey fun little tinker car. It’s a piece of shit, but I never need to worry about where I park and what I hit and if someone hits me (provided I don’t die), it’s instant insurance money in the pocket.[/quote]

Bicycle nuts obsess over grams on the bike, but often carry 30 extra pounds around their gut. Its the total weight that matters not just the bicycle weight.

At this point, for this car, driver weight might matter. Maybe wear lightweight shoes and lose 10 lbs. Be sure to peepee prior to race . No underwear. Remove watch.

Unless you mean the collateral is human flesh like in the Merchant of Venice, what you’re describing is called an unsecured personal loan.[/quote]

secured by your future UBI payments.

So you get 2k a month? We will front you 10 years, then we own the rest of your equity…..guaranteed by salliemae…human equity line of credit. We are all rich in potential.

Borrow your ass off. Literally. Also private equity should start buying birthright for a mess of pottage, if the cain, and are Abel.

Humans will be worthless later. Better to tap your equity and diversify

If the dems do sweep, do they crush the fublicards into oblivion?

Pack the supreme court
No filibuster
New states, wash dc, p.r.
Split calif. In 2., more reps.

By the time the reflurplicats regroup, so many old people die, the publikurds lose more ground.

On to a death spiral. More young. Old dead republican numbers shrink like testes in an ice bath

Weird if this is how the repufflicorns disappear.

Need new name for reformed group.

Possible contestants….

Tea party.

Qanon

Juggalo party

Proud boys

i really like wine, with every dinner, or weekend lunch. but beer is good too, before or during the meal. and scotch whiskey before or after. but particularly peaty whiskeys, and esp. laphroaig. but only in winter; johnie walker black all year round. the giant handle of johnnie walker black, from costco, when it’s on sale, buy as many as you can, practically as cheap as jw red, it’s like im making money drinking jw black..

but in summer, gin and tonic, light on the gin, so i can keep drinking them; or micheladas; but definitely greyhounds, with the grapefruits i found in the street near me; maybe a dark and stormy? but really primarily negronis, are my favorite; or all of those, actually. maybe just a martini?

but no bourbon. I can resist that. unless it’s in an old fashioned; or the only drink there. then ok.

and bloody marys with anything brunch like of course. I also really enjoy shopping for liquor in big liquor stores. i love throwing things in my cart.

there’s no way i can do this moderately. all so good. it is sad how zero alcohol is not that difficult, but moderate drinking is impossible. definitely the first thing i would do upon returning home in the evening is fix a drink. first thing….before anything…

alcoholic friend of mine died of throat cancer a while back; pretty sobering…

margaritas!!!

in spite of all of the above, in my opinion, i did not have a drinking problem. but, y’know, science might disagree. so im willing to listen…

[scaredyclassic]

i have come to see over many years that i am not able to drink moderately, and so I may no longer drink. it wasn’t so pronounced an effect when i was younger, but now that im old, drinking every day just doesnt work for me anymore. my problem has been that if i start up again, to try to do it moderately or once ina while, that goes out the window pretty fast.

. But certainly election time, that’s definitely a time i would historically get hammered and spend the evening poring over my voting options (or sometimes allowing my kids to pick a candidate).

thats another reason not to go to the polls. it was fun to vote with the company of one’s loved ones…

[scaredyclassic]

also, arent old people, who are more likely to vote trump, also more likely to want to avoid death by covid at actual polling places?

i guess I dont understand why any normal human would want to go to a polling place, even in normal times.

I always vote by mail, and would never dream of going to a polling place.

why in the hell would i want to drive somewhere, park, wait in line, and uncomfortably stand there and try to figure out all those ballot initiatives, when I could sit at home, get drunk and read the guidebook at my leisure.

at least when I used to drink.

I dont think they even allow drinking while voting in a polling place.

i think it’s ok to be drunk, but you definitely cant break out the cocktail shaker. check your local lawyer for advice. safest bet is to stay home, get smashed, mail in in the morning.

[scaredyclassic]

Agree.

My parents lived in the same rent stabilized as opposed to rent controlled unit in nyc for exactly 50 years. I think it provided for larger though not market rent increases. The unit was bought and sold, rent still stabilized.

The landlord still made a mint on the unit via appreciation

I think the nyc landlords only really get hurt when someone stays very long term. The shorter the stay the lower the impact if the rent resets on vacancy. Avg dtays probably not that long, definitely not 50 years.
.

The people most harmed were young people seeking a market priced unit.did the scarcity caused by people not moving cause the value to appreciate even more? Maybe.

I often think of fred mertz on i love lucy. His building is worth a fortune today, rigght? 5-20 million? More? Yet he was just a hustling landlord on the show, cheap, regular dude. If hed sold as rent control was in place hed have missed out on huge appreciation. Course he was about 60 in the 1950s. Prob. Wouldnt have lived to see it.

https://boards.straightdope.com/t/werent-the-mertzs-rich/530831

some chat on the mertz finances and references to building ownership on the show. I guess Im not the only one who was thinking about it.

Its very difficult to see the consequences of these rent control band aids that attempt to make the harshness of capitalism kinder.

Fred mertz. Great character. Apparently the actor was a colossal prick in real life.

Caligula tried to make his horse elected a senator.

Republicans try to make a jackass president.

History doesnt repeat itself but it rhymes

[scaredyclassic]

But a quick covid recovery is not dramatically satisfying.

In temecula, theres one of those trump merch stands, and 50 yards away, a BLM merch stand.

there was a newspaper article that the BLM guy was getting harrassed.karma guy would probably get threatened.

Id never wear anythi g provocative because the trumpies are batshit crazy aggressive.

Id just keep my pepper spray at the ready…
