I dunno, i'm probably gonna be the poor fucker who has to repair them. Panel matching on a mecha has to be a huge pain in the ass.

Elon's gonna ask Grok "what should the America party's policies be?" and we're going to end up with a nuke on michigan's upper peninsula somehow.

A beret?

Yeah, i usually just wear trucker hats with whatever emblem i feel like having. Been rocking a hat with the palestinian flag for a while.

Yeah, not to do a big "i wuz a commie b4 u" thing, because i did not take that assignment as seriously as i should have. I was still a dumb teenager that couldn't care less about school. But, it did force me to actually read theory. Before that i was like "Castro is cool because he has a beard, smokes cigars, and Cuba is cool". Afterwards, i still went lib, but at least i was a "Castro and Lenin are cool, but Stalin and Mao are bad guys" lib. Eventually i also had to self-reflect on why i held those opinions, because as far as i know, i never actually bothered to look up what they did, just repeated what everyone else said.

Grew up in a household that always had the news on. Just watched us drop bomb after bomb on cities, as the reporters would stand there in glee as soldiers marched through streets. I was taught "this was normal" by everyone except my family, who deeply distrusted anything the government said. So i grew up anti-war just on principle. Later got super into union history, as i saw people with the same jobs my family had fight against people doing wrong to the. And also ww2, where i questioned why we hated the Soviet Union so much if we fought alongside them during the war.

Finally, in high school, my history teacher brought out a hat full of names so we can do a deep dive into a historical figure and write out a detailed report on who they are and what they did.

I pulled out my ticket: Vladimir Lenin.

Replacing latches and strikers isn't too bad, but if the panel alignment is off it could mean complete replacement of the tailgate or trunk lid.

 

8/6, 1990, Jumbo Tsuruta vs Mitsuharu Misawa. Obvious pick, it's The star making match of AJPW, the passing of the torch between generations.

Honorable mentions include:

Kawasaki Dream, seeing Cactus Jack vs Terry Funk would be wild.

Heatwave 98', that Shinzaki and Hayabusa v RVD and Sabu match is a ton of fun.

7/8, 1976, Madison Squared Garden, 70s MSG shows have some of the hottest crowds around, and the big match on this card is a steelcage grudge match between Stan Hansen and Bruno Sammartino, only a few months after Hansen broke Sammartinos neck.

 

Yeah, nice "fighting spirit" dork, take this arm instead.

 

Settle in, it's gonna be a long ride.

 

My grandfather might be suffering from dementia, and forgets to cook for himself. Looking for decent vegetarian/vegan recipes that he could easily microwave. He's an old school quebecois, recently gone off meats and isn't a fan of spicy foods. It'd be greatly appreciated if you folks could give me some ideas.

 

How do you feel?
