That does not look like the way it is supposed to work.


For sale, ran great when removed from car. Some minor cosmetic rust.

Yeah, don't I know it. Broke a stud when installing a new thermostat in the RX350, thought it was the end of the world!!! Luckily, there was enough of it left that I could get a removal tool on it and back it out.

I was at Kennedy Space Center a couple of weeks ago. We saw the Space-X launch, the sound and vibration from the distance we saw the launch was unreal. I did see one of the boosters landing.
The Saturn 5 rocket was huge.
We could of spent 2 days there

Just a gross photo from the internet. Not me for sure.






A milk vending machine in London, 1940s.

You've got to wonder how much of that is photoshop. Most of the rose looks like it's covered in frost. But the rose in the background has none. So was that one added or...

From what I understand, a lot of the insect photos that you see are also "staged". Folks will catch insects and put them in the fridge to slow them down, and then get them out and photograph them when they are standing still. I suspect a bunch of the insect photos that you see where they are covered in dew are those staged photos. THey are very cool, but they lose a lot of their impact if you know that they have been staged/created.

Yea, getting just a few inches away from a fly is not likely to happen in "the real world" and much of great photography is a studio shot. Lots of "nature" photography is done in an studio setting with fancy lights, and cameras on rails or mechanisms that are remote controlled.

Food photography is the same way. If you go to a restaurant and open the menu and the food photos look wonderful, it is a studio photo with a food stylist and special lighting. If the photos looks like a Facebook photo with one flash lighting, it is not a studio photo. I have helped on foot photos jobs that cost many thousands to get a perfect shot of a meal.






We went on vacation for a week and a squirrel decided to find out how many black walnuts they could fit in my engine compartment.

The answer is 558 walnuts. 558 black walnuts fit in my engine compartment.

Like when a chick takes a selfie and there's an un-flushed steamer in the toilet in the background.

Remember the guy selling a car part and his arm was very hairy? Memes abounded.
