I Believe It

As an ole computer and programmer tech weenie, this is not necessarily what I want to see happening. But amazingly in my personal life, so many seemingly intelligent people I try to relate to as to what's going on seem to be clueless or simply deny where the existential future is headed. Even...

Really Happy About This

The danger with this, Im told, is that when doing so then even a slight bump from the rear would also take out or at least damage the car's transmission too (ie, parking pawl at minimum).

Really Happy About This
