What are our criteria? Because the sketchy, greasy Mexican food is more often than not, the best Mexican food

Tamale-man is the best

I went to Costco today (while sick, didn't know it at the time but the world was all "zoomed in", in hindsight) and spent like $100 on a handful of things.

I mean, now I have soap, mouthwash, ibuprofen, peanut butter, and canned veggies for weeks/months. But 100 loving dollars!

I'm pretty sure it's impossible to leave Costco without spending at least $100. When every single thing you pick up is about $12~15 and there is so much stuff you *have* to grab... well..

Which reminds me, my big container of cashews is almost empty, and I'm out of almonds... drat it.. I'm going to have to go to Costco this week.

Oh, I don't think you understand the level of sketchiness I'm talking about here. Tamale-man is literally just a dude with a cooler who walks into bars and sells mystery tamales to the drunks. Then he leaves, as quickly as he appears
It's never the same guy twice, but the tamales are always amazing

I'm quite familiar with the rando selling mystery Mexican food from a cooler. You haven't lived until until you've reheated an enchilada you bought at 6 PM from some guy in a Circle K parking lot.

We had tamale lady in my neighborhood. Shed drive by around 4 every weekend in a beat to poo poo older Chrysler, selling tamales. 2 each or 12 for 10.

My wife would get so pissed, cause id be in the garage, buy a dozen, and bring her like 3 if I didn't finish them all.

Edit: also, as a dude from TX who lived in CA, Cali kills it on the tacos and burritos. But texmex enchiladas are better, and Chicos has the best goddamn rolled/fried tacos.

Holy gently caress

Like how the hell is that possible, I mean I know they upgraded everything but 12 seconds? That's crazy.

Late into this...

So first off, throw away the LMP1H fuel and energy use restrictions. So go from 500 to 720hp on the gas engine. Next throw away the electricity use restrictions... you don't get much more power because of motor limits, but they said the electric power harvested under braking and the like went up by like 30%.

Aerodynamically, add active wings to be able to trim out things on straights but still whack on huge downforce under braking and corners, and add skirts to help the underbody.

The rest is just some details like ditching weight and tweaking things. But LMP1 shaped cars are, even within the rules, far more aerodynamically efficient than F-1 cars so if you can get the power/weight ratio close they sort of murder them.

We'll just nuke them from orbit. Ever heard of Lawrence Livermore and Jet Propulsion labs? Areojet isn't closing for a bit too. We also have some big Northrop and Lockheed operations We don't need no guns. Hell Lawrence Livermore probably can just aim a big laser at Texas.

I'm not sure what you think is in Texas, or that it's all desert or something, but we do actually grow food and stuff here. We have a near-rainforest on the eastern edge. Only the west bit is a desert.
Also, we have Lockheed, Texas Instruments, and the bit of Lockheed that used to be General Dynamics, not to mention NASA. And oil. We have a bit of that.

I... can't really speak about the tacos, because somehow I managed to never get a Taco while in Cali. I am ashamed.

My wife works with a Mexican guy whos mom makes tamales for people that put in orders by the dozen. The pork tamales are always good but the jalapeno/cheese tamales are loving amazing.

BTW the next time you're in St.Pete make sure to stop by Mercado, it's a Taco joint right across from Tropicana Field downtown. The shrimp tacos are the best I've ever had, and they have a chili relleno burrito that is exactly what it says, a burrito with a chili relleno inside of it and it's incredible.

Don't think I've mentioned it here yet, but the 20+ year old JL Audio 10" sub I put in the Crown Vic now has a rattle at low volumes (and probably at high volumes, too - you just can't hear it then). Foam surround looks OK, so I bet the suspension at the bottom of the cone took a dump. I'm hoping it just came unglued and I can fix it. If not, :rip: I bought the thing used from a customer when I worked at a stereo shop in the late '90s, and it lived, unused, in my garage pretty much from then until I put it in the Vic, because I didn't have anything with a trunk, and it needs a 1.5 cu. ft. box. I am completely amazed that the foam didn't disintegrate immediately on firing it up.
Ah, well. I want to step up to 2 10s or 12s anyway.

Hence why there's no digital version of the tabletop game, because it will leech sales from their overpriced miniatures, paints, and codices. When the Battlefleet Gothic game and all of the new Space Hulk games came out, I got super excited, but they lead to nothing...

At this trailer/camper park I go in for work sometimes, there is a white manual E46 sedan that has been parked in the same spot while multiple tenants have moved through. It has quite the covering of mold and mildew.

It's crossed my mind that it would make quite the lemons racer... With all or most of the "graphics" etched into the patina of mildew. Has that been done already? Seems like low hanging fruit now that I think about it.
