Sure - it can go 350mph, but where?

Lamborghini on Friday launched the Revuelto SV, a limited-edition hybrid version of its V12 Revuelto that’s the fastest and most powerful car ever built at its factory. The model is the latest in Lamborghini’s storied “SV” line, which began 55 years ago with the Miura SV and has showcased lighter, more aerodynamic and more powerful versions of its flagship supercars. The new hybrid supercar gets an electrified boost to add to “the adrenaline and the emotions” of driving a Lambo, the car’s product chief told CNBC.
The Italian auto manufacturer will make only 1,963 Revuelto SVs. The supercar starts at $741,172.  
It starts with Lamborghini’s naturally aspirated V12 engine and adds three electric motors to boost the power to more than 1,050 horsepower and race from zero to 100 kph (62 mph) in just 2.4 seconds.
A: Ya have to be a gajillionaire to be able to buy one, and 
B: Might help if you own a race track or your own country, 'cause where ya gonna do that zero to 60 in 2?

That's actually pretty funny, don'tcha think?

I can't imagine the level of elation that people like my Mother felt when they heard this news. My Dad at the time was stationed on an LST somewhere in the Pacific, and my Mom - who was engaged to him during the war, had to know that he'd be coming home soon. It meant the end of the draft, the down-sizing of our military and the returns home of millions of American men and women.

I like tough. This is tough.


 See it for yourself - this is similar 
to a KA BAR at half the price.

Construction workers digging for a new sewer system in Belgium made an unexpected discovery underground: a stash of gold estimated to be worth more than $10 million. Good guys that they are, they actually told somebody about the find. Ya do have to wonder a bit if that is all they found, if ya get my drift - human nature being what it is and all...

Did I miss something? I don't get it...

The radical Democrat base is determined to champion transgenderism - despite polls that show it is increasingly unpopular among Americans of every stripe.

This conflict recently played out when first-term Democrat congressman and candidate for reelection Eugene Vindman was forced to apologize after a loud argument at a townhall meeting in King George County, Virginia, when three transgender activists demanded that he support transgenders.

According to a source, in a move described by league officials as both overdue and inevitable, the Women’s National  Basketball Association announced Monday that it will rebrand as the W+MPTBWNBA effective next season.
The new name - Women’s + Men Pretending To Be Women’s Basketball Association - was unveiled at a sparsely attended press conference held in a neutral-toned conference room carefully stripped of any residual biological markers.

Hurts my brain to realize that this picture was taken 56 years ago...

What's even more frightening about this one is - how the fuck 
did ChatGPT know that I was born in 1953?

Just so you know, if you have an occasion coming up in the next few
 weeks, Barb will be putting her site 'on vacation' starting Sunday, meaning
 she won't be able to ship any items for at least two weeks. If you have
 something coming up and want to get someone something nice from her,
 order it by Sunday morning at the latest , so that she has a chance to ship
 it out before temporarily not being able to. Got that? Good.

  1. There are already dozens of men playing in the WNBA. That is why there are so many coaches supporting the trans agenda

  2. used to restore old British sports cars. I love doing it. anyway, had a rented garage around the block from my house.
    3 bays and a upstairs that used to be a hay loft. one day in summer had a kid I never saw before drag his bike up and ask for help. I did help. filled his tires, adjusted his handle bars and seat and sent him on his way. anyway, 2 days later there was 4-5 kids with bikes in my driveway. same deal. flat tires, loose handle bars or seats. got to became a regular thing on weekends (?) not sure I how, but the word spread like wildfire that I would fix their bikes. never spent more than 2-3 hours at it but it did make me feel better. helping little kids out. years later when I was closing up the "shop" 2 big black guys came up to me and asked if they could help. I didn't know them from Adam. wasn't sure about it at all until one of them said, you are the bike guy who fixed my bike every time I broke something on it. here another fact, in the 15 years I had the garage, NOTHING was ever stolen from me there (in Philly, no less)
    people remember the little things like acts of kindness. and I did pass on some tools and all of the bike parts I had to another guy across the street from my garage so, he could take up where I left off. blew out my back (bad) and could hardy walk let alone work on anything. last I heard, he was still fixing bikes on weekends

  4. My dad was a combat engineer in Europe when they were told they'd be going to Japan. Don't let people tell you America was evil to drop the atomic bomb. Japan and Germany were working like mad to get one.

    1. My dad was a ball turret gunner and flew 2 tours in europe one in 43 and another in 44. He was home on leave in August of 45 preparing to report for training and assignment to the pacific. When he received a telegram telling him that he didnt have to go. He wasn't sad that the Japanese got bombed. 3 of his brothers were army in europe, one actually was sent to the Philippines, just as the war ended. None of them were sad they got A bombed.

  6. Mc Donalds has been keeping a file (some 1000 pages) on all their customers so even they know everything about everybody.

  8. Almost everybody in the US Army, as well as the Navy, would have been in on the invasion of Japan or operations in China and Korea. The bombs saved a lot of lives.
