Jack Burton: Hey, what more can a guy ask for?
Egg Shen: Oh, the six-demon bag!
Jack Burton: Terrific, a six-demon bag. Sensational. What's in it, Egg?
Egg Shen: Wind, fire, all that kind of thing!

Only saw BTILC a few years ago. Was expecting a movie that was racist but tried to wave it off by being ironic about it, and was happy to see the script was way more insightful than that. Although, like with Verhoeven's "Starship Troopers" most viewers probably didn't catch that.
Jack Burton says to remember what he always says, but I never do.

Canadian election news post on Bluesky:
“ As the Conservative Party's election night event came to an end and supporters started to leave, a staff member wheeled the bar out of the venue. A crew lowered the Canadian flag, and a machine filled with unused confetti was seen on the floor.”

A bearded and bespectacled white man stands in a busy intersection in Tokyo Japan. He is wearing a purple mushroom button down as people walk around him.
I’m doing the Midwest white guy midlife crisis father recently passed thing and spending a few weeks in Japan on a solo trip. It’s weird (good) being out of sync with US time and concerns.
Good for you. Travelling all over?
@hertz Yep. A few days in Tokyo, now in Kyoto. Spending some time near Lake Kawaguchi before heading home.
awesome shirt!

The underside of a beautiful bicorn hat below it we can see some lovely velvet lining from the box it is usually stored in.

Bicorn hat found in an attic and previously owned by https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki...
This is my favourite hat. I bought one many years ago from a shop in London, that had shutters over the windows, and a sort of English version of the gun shop guy from the Simpsons.
Him and his colleague got quite animated when I wanted to buy it. He said something along the lines of 'The cases are lovely, you can lacquer them. And also research the history of the person who wore it'. I said "I'm probably just going to wear it in the bath".

If you never post the bath selfie, I imagine more than a few of us here will be sorely disappointed.
I do have it somewhere, and I was plying with little battleships. Let me see....

An older man refuels his motorcycle at a gas station. On the back of his top box is a hand lettered sign the says Clowns (with an arrow pointing left) and Jokers (with an arrow pointing right). In the lid of his open top case is a hand-lettered sign: GOOD GOD, MEN! YOU'RE PUBLIC AMBASSADORS FOR THE INCOMPARABLE JOY AND CRUSHING BEAUTY OF MOTORCYCLE RIDNG! EXERCISE SOME SELF-RESPECT AND SHOW SOME DIGNITY!
When I was brand new to motorcycling, I went on my first ride with a (small) group. Before we left, Fran explained riding staggered in the lane, what to do if part of the group got left behind, and that he’d be right behind me, so if anything didn’t feel safe I should pull over and we’d sort it out. Afterwards he made sure to let my mom know that I seemed to know what I was doing, so she needn’t worry.
A quarter century later I mostly ride alone, but if Fran’s leading a ride, I won’t hesitate to follow. He finds great roads, he does his best to make it a great ride for everyone, he waves to every motorcycle, kid, and dog he passes, and he speaks his mind with no filter.

The 'Stuck In The Middle With You' reference is excellent.
@bezt It's an apt metaphor, often.

Dear Friends -
I've been producing my radio show for a year and a half now and have posted many of the broadcasts here. You all have been very supportive. Thank you!
My community radio station here in Point Reyes Station is holding a pledge drive. I would be very grateful if you could donate. Last year, some of you here on mltshp donated - and I am so grateful for your support. It means a lot to me!
Community radio, to say the least, fights uphill every minute of the day. Anything you can contribute helps immensely.
https://secure.qgiv.com/event...
Enough about money, how about the show?
You have probably seen my posts about the Redwood Sideband - that's the name of my show. I named it after a magnificent snail that lords it up in the coastal redwood forests from Northern California up to the Pacific Northwest. The show's tagline is "Post-Ambient Music for Post-Modern Times" - I leave that up to you, dear listeners, to interpret. I play all kinds of indie rock and electronica and house and avant-garde minimalism. I even try to beatmatch sometimes.
The Redwood Sideband, KWMR 90.5 MHz FM and KWMR.org online. 10pm-midnight alternate Tuesdays.
https://kwmr.org/shows...
I just recently put all my broadcasts - all 35! - on Mixcloud, complete with accurate playlists.
https://www.mixcloud.com/gyusan/
Next show is Tuesday April 29th 10pm PST. I would love to thank some of you on the air tomorrow night! I'm gonna play some treasured vinyl and then some flat-out uplifting house.
many thanks - Jason

re: https://mltshp.com/p/1QZBY
A good review of this new truck and the ecosystem of customizations you can do with it, including kits from the factory and trim pieces you can 3d print yourself. I really like the size of it, it's easier to judge with someone standing next to it than just from measurements (though apparently the host is 6'10").
I love everything about this, from the crank windows to bluetooth physical buttons for screen functions, to the VW Beetle-like approach of making it a platform for a variety of vehicles. All cars today feel like overkill: too large, too many built-in luxuries that inflate the price, way more power than necessary. There's a real need for basic utilitarian transport, and i wish them the best to make this happen.

The limited range is a dealbreaker but otherwise yes this might be the most appealing American EV I've yet seen.
I want to go halvsies on one with someone else who also really just doesn't need a truck very much or very often.
@ardgedee the limited range is a draw for me, I don't need to go out of town.
I want to love it but look at bezos and fear another god tier pump and dump like Tesla is implementing right now
@urlnotfound It would be super cool to have something like this as a shared truck within a club or a neighborhood or just a group of friends. I could see our local EV car share getting a few of these.
Love this (although it'll be hard to go back to not having a rear-facing camera)
@frothywalrus Note that you can get an "extended battery pack" that gets the projected single charge up to 240 miles.
@frothywalrus Note that you can get an "extended battery pack" that gets the projected single charge up to 240 miles.
@frothywalrus Yeah, it's kind of tricky here... a day's drive can be a >100 mi circuit. Granted that's not likely to happen often (usually a multiple-stop all-day errand trip rather than one place 50 miles away) but as the area we live continues building outwards rather than upwards the places we need to go are going to get farther away, and since this is America the public transit option is effectively nonexistent. Even though I'd ditch my car with no regrets if I could bike safely to a commuter rail station.
LOL, the host in that video is 6'10"!?? No wonder it seemed weirdly undersized given the actual specs.
@ardgedee 150 would be the max for me, honestly I'll just borrow a car if I need to go out of town, or use my bus. @gwint I may have to go extended battery pack if the subwoofer drains the battery too fast.
@ardgedee I think about range a lot with the idea of getting an EV. Not anxiety, but what would really be required. It's rare that a day of driving errands around town would go over 100 miles, but add living in Minnesota and that range is effectively cut in half for 1/3 of the year.
I live on an island and never drive more than 50 miles a day (Probably more like 15, but let's pretend I am doing ALL THE ERRANDS), and I need a truck for my hobby farm/gardening projects on a weekly basis. This is perfect for that, and it's why I dropped the $50 to get in line. Hoping they pull it off.
looks exactly like a 1978 International Harvester Scout pickup! (not a bad thing!)
The only thing I don't like about this is...Bezos.
I also love that they said "f*ck-it, Apple and Google already figured out the software...let's just put a phone mount in it..." (Though a larger external screen for Airplay would have been nice but I bet there will be add-ons for that.)
@gwint there will be a rear-facing camera. It's required on US cars. Odds are it will be built into the rear mirror. (Unless, of course, Bezos bribes Trump to just executive order that away which...*sigh*...is plausible.)
re: my 2 cents on range. Our previous car got a bit over 200 which was good for 90% of what we did but the occasional road trip to Vancouver or the like things could get a little anxious. New car goes about 320 and that seems like a really nice sweet spot. More than enough for errand running all week. And for the extra-long trips, you just plan out a charging stop as you'd likely be stopping for gas/snack break anyways.
@homerj @gwint According to the video, the single display in front of the steering wheel switches to the backup camera when you're in reverse. https://www.youtube.com/watch...

"The kindness I show them is simple: when they arrive at my bus, I let them wait on board until it’s time to leave, usually 5-8 minutes. They transfer from the 1 California, and I look for them. Sometimes they are on the later bus, and if I see it coming I’ll wait for them a minute or two.
"That’s enough to inspire a little kid to want to be a good person. I will ride high on this good feeling for at least a week. I am carrying some hot wheels cars with me to give to them, I can’t wait to see them again!"
