I think most of us here have had beaver fever.

Up Skalkaho Creek in Montana is a fresh water spring that comes right out front the stone mountainside. Someone a long time ago fitted a pipe into the rock and out pours perfect spring water. There was even a community ladle hanging from the pipe which is probably where you would contract some disease.

That water is ice cold, almost crack your teeth on a hot day. I would cup and drink out of my hands until my sides ached. So damn good.

Then we would go fishing in the creek and as clear as the water looked we all knew there was plenty of stuff in there we probably couldn't digest. Same water source but exposed to every animal and people waste, it was never once a thought to drink the water.

I hope these asses get sued when the first case of cholera breaks out from their stupid ass profit scheme.

Explains how dinosaurs became extinct. At some point in their evolutionary development they became rednecks.

Come on Darwinism.  This is a gimme shot.  

This is amazing.  Hopefully the powers that be will allow Burning Man to become a test sample, should take care of itself in a few years.

good for the DA not to pursue what would have been an idiotic PR blunder of incalculable stupidity.

New Ford Ranger coming in 2019

[Blarg]

I was hoping this would be a compact sized pickup but Ford and the other automakers just can't downsize, thinking there is no market for the old Toyota SR5 or Chevy Luv sized truck. It's going to be another parking space hog.

New porsche electric looks pretty sick. Mutha f*cking suicide doors.

Hopefully they don't neuter it much when they actually launch:

whoa. may need to look into this a bit more.

[Blarg]

There are no 800 volt charging stations so their 15 minute 80% charge times are simply talk instead practicality. For those that can afford a $100k car I suppose getting a city permit to legally run a 400 volt charging system in your garage may work but it won't be cheap to install. Otherwise you are waiting 8+ hours on standard home current, the same as any other plug and play car.
