Can we get this thread back on track and figure out why Morbs would choose politics over good hummus? I'd buy hummus from Ayn-Fracking-Rand if it was as killer as he made it sound.

It was really, really good. Rich with olive oil, whole chick peas mixed in, and garnished with peperoncinis. The iced coffee was black and naturally sweet-ish. But I'm not going to eat at Stalin's Cafe, no matter how good the food is.

Oh, I see, looking closer I realize you just replaced it with another Asian woman's head. Very subtly done, though. Your paint skills are admirable.

Looks like you started on the right side and when you got to the chick it was getting close to the time for Grey's Anatomy on ABC so you rushed the job and went to see if the good people at the Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital were able to deal with the storm.

Incidently, The Gimp's handling of layers sucks. You have three separate tools for moving, rotating and scaling a layer (at least they have keyboard shortcuts); and with the latter two the original unrotated/unscaled layer remains on screen until you commit (there's a popup in case you want to input exact numbers). Meanwhile, the rotated/scaled version becomes completely opaque, making exact positioning even harder (again until you commit, after which it becomes transparent again).
* No, really.

If you want to find stores that carry clothes that aren't "in style", try major department stores.
My clothing of preference for the last two decades has been jeans (jean shorts in warm weather) and a solid-colored T-shirt. Occasionally I'll wear khakis (or equivalent shorts) or a polo-style shirt (collar and three buttons). As far as I know, that has never been "in style", but I can walk into any department store and find all of that in just about any season.

They built the best steam locomotive in the world. Which, in typical fashion, was highly embarrassing to the politicians and bosses, and so it remained just a single unit during its short lifetime.We're all engineers here, but few of people can match the genius of André Chapelon. His life story would be very suitable for this site, in fact.

My favorite engineer is Delilah H. Blow. She didn't even graduate high school, but with hard work and determination, she invented the job that bears her name.

Yeah, because Europe is this place where all car design is the same. No real difference between a Czechoslovakian Škoda and an Italian Alfa Romeo.Strictly speaking, a Porsche 911 is a flattened Volkswagen Beetle. Both were designed by the same guy, and only relatively recently has the style of the headlights changed from the typical Beetle-look.
And designers go through phases. At the beginning of the century, for example, Renault had clearly lost the plot. The design of the 2003 Mégane was one of those love-it-or-hate-it things, but the Vel Satis was simply ugly from every angle. And until a few years ago, almost the entire BMW range was just ugly.
But if I look around, I can't really say that small European cars are ugly. That I wouldn't want to be seen dead in one is another issue, but really ugly? For ugly cars, I think the USA is still your prime destination (Hummer for example), closely followed by some of the weirder Japanese designs. With the exception of sports/muscle cars such as Corvettes and Mustangs, which look very nice indeed, I find American designs immediately forgettable.

Fiat Multipla vs. Pontiac Aztek... GO!
Whoever wins, we lose.

Ah yes, the Multipla. Apparently, it's a very well thought-out car. Unfortunately, they forgot that clever design doesn't equate visually pleasing design. Not even advertising with Michael Schumacher (six times Formula 1 champion) could help that. That Pontiac... I'd rather not comment.
Right now I'm driving this:

Did it come with a u-haul for those inconvenient moments where you need more than 0.25 cubic ft of storage, like getting milk and bread at the 7-11.

It fits three adults in the back and a supermarket trolley full of shopping in the boot (or 'trunk', as some misguided people call it). If it weren't remarkably practical for the kind of car that it is, I don't think my wife would have let me buy it.

Either that car is way bigger than it looks, or Maltese adults are midgets. (Or maybe the three adults have been liquified and poured into the back..)

It's way bigger than it looks. Up to a height of about
six feet1.85m you have enough leg and head room, although you probably wouldn't want to sit three abreast then, except for short distances. I tried it myself and yes, as an average-height Dutchman I'm 1.85m. No problem sitting in the back.Getting in and out of the car, that's a different issue, though. Although yesterday I drove my 77-year old mother-in-law and she managed, so hey.
